Countdown to 12th Night.

[jamesq]

The site tokens are done. The feast is well in hand. The tournaments are all in competent hands. The hall is behind us. The feast is sold out and we're likely to get another 100 people off-board. The weather forecast is chinook from now until then, so out-of-towners aren't going to be turned away by inclimate weather.

I'm starting to relax and think this won't be a total disaster that's all my fault. Must be vigilant though - every time I think that about some aspect of my life, things turn to shit.

Redouble efforts. Check everything. Relax (and sleep) on Sunday.

12th night

Can you mention to everyone (or get a herald to mention it?) that I am DEVASTATED not to be there with you all? And how proud I am of the barony, and all my friends living in it, and how I miss you all? If I were of literary turn, I could write an Icelandic Saga that would rival all the extant ones, telling of the virtues, the courage and the greatness of Montengarde and its people, and how they have worked to build one of the best non-existent places in the world!

(And James: don't worry. It will be fine. Like many of us, you just have high production sandards. Go, have a big slug of scotch, and enjoy. You deserve it.)

I echo Mistress Morgan here - you have high standards and that's a wonderful thing! You also know you're in for a long stretch of hyper-vigilence; combining attention to every detail with keeping your antennai up for every subtle change in nuance and mood. That can get exhausting and a bit daunting if you let it.

You will get through this with flying colours - you have a great team behind you. The barony supports you wholeheartedly, everyone will be there with willing hands if a need arises. We are all volunteers here and we all understand that events don't just 'happen'. You are making it happen with your vision, passion, energy and drive for excellence and you are deeply respected for putting it all on the line.

I recommend taking Monday off work, booking yourself a 1.5 hour massage and relaxing as much as humanly possible.

I second that last recommendation. The ways things are working up for me, I'd be just as happy to indulge in the same thing (I'm getting sick)
