Survived Heartland, despite all attempts to the contrary, both on my part and the parts of the gods, who provided us with several lovely thunderstorms complete with high winds over the course of the weekend. I have to say, Casa de Superman (the tent of the Entropic Trinity) has proved its worth once again - not only did it not blow over, but also it did not admit a vast quantity of water, even though we forced it to contain a king-sized air mattress for which it was not really rated, and which caused its front face to bulge out about 3 inches. It's also worth mentioning that this is the second rainy outing in Casa de Superman, and still we have not seam-sealed the thing. So that's on the to-do list, but I suppose not all that urgently.

Also performing in a stellar manner was the new screen house, which withstood aforementioned winds, even though kittenpants and the rest of the bold set-up crew failed to, well, clip the tarp to the poles. So there.

Performing in a less than stellar manner was yours truly. I didn't manage to make it to any workshops (in my defense, the only ones I was really interested in going to happened before I was able to get to camp), or, in fact, any official rituals. I did participate in finnchu's Mead Hall ritual and subsequent debaucheries, where I met finnchu and lexpendragon, among other folks whose names I no longer recall (bad crow!). Anyway, good times there.

Had a fine time hanging out with the whole crew of friends - I'd like to come back next year. I'd really like to do some ritual out on the site, as well. I understand that the festival itself is not known for the quality of its public ritual, and I don't see any way to change that in the near future that would not involve way more time and energy than I personally have, but there's no reason why our group couldn't go out there and do its own thing during the festival - there seems to be a need within the land for some magical clean-up of some sort. Or I'm just making that up, possibly. You make the call.

In other news, I'm just remembering that I was supposed to talk to teross50 the other week about his book project.... Argh. Brain like sieve. Must talk to him about that soonly...
