RUM 2009
July 19, 2009
I had an amazing time at RUM. Beth and I drove down with Tobias and Cynwise. It was a fun trip where we were driving Cynwise absolutely crazy with our singing. I took a lot of heraldry classes (no surprise) but I also took classes on Leather and Tunic embellishing. But mostly, I was with my kindred heralds. Master Alexander did a class on the pagentry of the tournement. A great class from a guy who knows a little about heraldry. Konr MacAlpin did a leather class and I worked on a badge with my combs insignia on it. Sweet. Beth and I took a break and hung around withe Seamus and Genvieve and few others next. Jocosa and Kynwric served up a great lunch of raviolis. Ate with Ragnhildr and her friend Donna. We had a good representation from our Shire. Court was kind of fun too. I was called up to court for the first time to receive my AWARD of ARMS!!!!! I am so pumped. I might sleep with my circlet. Pretty nifty. Sir Thomas heralded me in court, which was pretty neat considering how many times I heralded him this past year. We went out to eat afterwards (over 20 in the group – mostly heralds). I wore my circlet. We went to see Harry Potter, wore the circlet, which phazed no one.
