Hubbyfink and I zipped down to Chester, VA, Friday so we'd be well-rested for Crown Tournament the following morning instead of getting up at oh-god-thirty and driving down Saturday morning. ( We chose... poorly. )
I didn't see much of the Tournament itself as I stepped in to assist with Troll. The noon shift of follks never materialized, and Siegfried and I stuck around to keep the head troll company until I finally ducked out at 1:30pm so I could have some time off before starting my retainer shift at 3pm. Amusingly,
belfebe and Cassie entered the troll building to kidnap me at the same time I was slipping out the back. Heh. We three ventured over the hall and toured the A&S entries and displays. Very pretty stuff! The fighting I did see was fairly intense and there were quite a few injured and gimpy fighters out on the field, bless their hearts.
psalite and I started our retainer shift as the final bout for the Crown began and ended that shift just before Court started. I was dead on my feet by that point, but only slightly braindead, thankfully. Hubbyfink and I bolted for home as soon as my shift ended so that we could be somewhat conscious for the trek back to NoVa.
