Banner War this year was fun, as always. The fighting is always great, but I did especially well this year, so it was extra fun for me. Got (and gave) compliments from both allies and opponents. For the first time in quite a while, daytripped for a bit longer than just the fighting - attended both the Saturday morning and afternoon courts, and played some Glückhaus at the games table. Ran out of time to pick up lunch on the way to the event, and while I recalled previous years had a food vendor, there was none this year. However, the generosity in largess of other fighters, folks at the games table, and the Baron and Baroness all combined to tide me over and keep me fed.

If the weather is as good next year, I'll have to see about camping it and checking out the Inn. --Michelino di Gino Martini 17:22, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
