Investiture has came and went yet again. I made the trip with my fellow Apprentices Alienor Sanz-Argent and Maeda no Kiku Mariko and much fun was had.

I packed all of the gear the night before we left. My truck has never been so full.  Closing the tailgate was just about a two person job. Also, never pack a cavalier hat in the back of a truck thinking that it will be OK. My hat was totally mangled from stuffing so much stuff in there..doh!

Alienor, Mariko, and myself. There was so much stuff in the back with Mariko, I thought we might have to shoe horn her into the truck.

This is Alienor’s fantastic center pole pavilion. 7′ in diameter and bright as all get out.

This was the first time I camped out in the Bedouin. It worked great, but I’ll post about it in another post.

Ruby airing her nether region. Good Dog.

Fellow Prenti Alienor  Sanz-Argent has released a monkey. She is no longer principality chronicler. 5 file boxes worth of stuff was given away…hurrah.

Shortly after prenti Morweena of House Desdecardo was inducted into the order of the Grey Goose Shaft. Woot.

Mistress Agnes Cresewyke sporting her brand new landskencht garb and sporting a mask made by Estaban Fereirro. Estaban, and fellow prenti Allvaro Ferreira de Goa checking it all out.

Then the frantic trip back on Sunday morning. Needed to get home for my nephew’s b-day party.

I love that Caution Sheep sign.

Ash also made the trip, and has recruited a minion cactus names Jeffrey Combs.
