March 09 Highlights

After a year and a half hiatus, FINALLY returning to KR was so wonderful! Getting to huggle handfuls of old friends was really marvelous. I'd missed you guys so much!
Also, Charlie and Seamstress, thank you SO MUCH for letting this event go on at your absolutely gorgeous house/property!
Now, for the faves:

*Bringing in Remi, a first level satyr bard, and successfully being useful during a mod! (fanfare of bold action FTW)
*Satyr innuendo- it gives a whole new meaning to "piece of tail!"
*Being the only clothed, non-gypsy in the Barechested Gypsy Brigade
*Baltheir stoned out of his mind on satyr wine. Highlights include:
-attempting to play Malcolm Germain's head with a fiddle bow and being confused when nothing happened (except vitriol and lots of glaring.)
- Remi- "It's true! Tobar swings both ways!"
Balthier: *drunkenly stumbling/chasing Tobar* "CHASE THE RAINBOW!"
*Being privy to a fantastically snarky argument between Solomon Darkheart and Malcolm Germaine. IG, having no idea whose side I was on, and having it sorted out for me by the McBanes.
*Telling Malcolm Germaine in no uncertain terms that he needs to drink more. Later, having no less than three IG conversations that concluded with "Basically, Malcolm Germaine needs to get laid!"
*Fr. Edwin commenting on "enjoying the view," followed up with, "Hey, I'm old, not dead!"  :
*Remi being worried about her new friends, and going into the woods with Rosette to be sure they were OK. Fantastic RP. Awesome IG discoveries. Yay new friends!!
*Skeleton rap. "Hissss click click click Hissss chhhh!"
*Waiting to NPC main mod. "What's taking them so damn long?!!" "Sorry, I gave Volk about an hour's worth of speaking material T_T"

and, the top two:

*Basement Mod was so much fun!!! Playing the damsel in distress was fantastic, the basement looked awesome, and the mod wound up being almost as hilarious as it was exciting.
* And of course, #1 has gotta be winning first place in the singing competition. I was just as gleeful and confused OOG as Remi was IG, and now I has shiny magic item! Yay! 

Finally, I want to hand out some kudos to certain people:
*Blockus. I know I've told you this already, but seriously. Hating you is SO. MUCH. FUN. Also, thanks for ripping your pants, I got loads of IG giggles out of that one (and yes, it was Remi who whistled.)
*Damien. You pretty much rock my world- from your hilarious song to your RP excellence during Basement Mod. High five for being awesome.
*Elias. Your satyr wine performance really deserved a stumbling ovation. Rock out.
*Wally. You lived up to everything I'd ever heard about you. Re: basement mod- You play a fantastic drunk, and it was so hard to not giggle maniacally when the rogues locked you in your own cage.
and finally
*James C. Kimball. Not only did you make a fantastically addictive game, but your enthusiasm for the world you've created is contagious and inspiring. (Also, NPCing with you is more fun than you can shake foam and duct tape at.) 

Thank you Charlie for offering your home. It is a very generous act and helps for those of us who have to steal each moment away from real life where we can to larp.

Volk and the new Galladel movement...long overdue. Thanks

I love getting to use all the old stuff from years past to still have some impact now and again

Hide and seek game...next time I think I'll pass. 30 minutes hiding in a thorn bush for naught.

Alex, Kyle, Welsher and Kate making for a great time for me as always

Learning new skills and the delima of what to take next. I really need a plan sometimes.

Asking if anyone has fire only to remember a minute later its a part of my essence as a paladin. Senility creeps onwards.

As always you are more than welcome Chris, I do my best to better the enjoyment of others at KR.

Detriments:
-How come every time I come to an event, every inch of ground is mud?

<<-How come every time I come to an event, every inch of ground is mud?>>

It is a James thing.  It always seems to rain at a KR event. 

True story - In the late 50s and early 60s, when my father worked for The Frankford Arsenal and RCA as an electrical engineer, he was heavily involved in the Nike-Zeus missile project.  The proving ground (read test area) was the White Sands Proving Ground, 3,200 square miles of mostly desert.  There is one really nice motel where temporary non-serving military usually stayed.  The first three times, over 2 months apart, when my father arrived the launches were canceled due to rain.  ITs a desert, remember?  The fourth time he checked in, the clerk greeted him with "I'm sure glad to see you Mr. Spiegel.  We sure can use the rain."

James has a similar gift and we should be glad that he loves KR, else he would be on the road as a rainmaker, traveling from parched farm to arid pasture.  Wait - he can do that and make enough to afford flying back once a month to events.
