Of course it'll be sunny all week, but there may be t-storms on Sunday.
http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/virginia/spotsylvania-2497703/Still, usually that means we might get a short storm, and the rest of the day will be cloudy. I think I can deal with that.
Anyway, we're all set for the VARF knightings on schedule. Kat and I got email confirmation that they're expecting us, and the photographer (Kevin) and the security folks have been informed. They know to find us at the Labyrinth, and have extra peace-ties on hand if we need them.
This past weekend we checked out the Labyrinth. I think the throne in the middle will make a handy spot to put papers, spurs, etc, while we get started.
What I didn't think to get was some sort of kneeling pillow or anything. How well do your armors accommodate kneeling, Sir Brian and Sir William?
I'm all set on getting the certificates and ceremony scrolls together. I'll be signing/dating them in advance, and I got a nice period-looking leather portfolio to carry them in. The wax-stamp I got is a rampant lion, it just faces the wrong way. No biggie. The whole left/right thing wasn't actually taken that seriously in period, as evidenced by the fact that they'd flip arms backwards on some effigies to make them face the altar in a church.
Since we need to start right at 10, I'm going to try to get there relatively early and have some extra time. My plan is to get a hotel room, and then try to be on site around 9-9:15. That'll give me time to throw some armor on, make sure my papers are all together, etc.
If it rains at the time of the ceremony, I'll leave the certificates in the car and get them to you guys later in the day.
I'm looking forward to it!
