It was a very hard Pennsic for most involved. We are not used to "peopling" or doing large events. This was one of the hardest events I have ever done - lack of help that was expected, altho understood.

Hopefully 50th will have more volunteers.

Sorry I missed you but glad that you saw Kendrick and thanks for supporting me in my business. I was luck to get down to camp for an hour/two hours to get lunch and nap a little. Kendrick helped me at set up and day before MM. A friend helped me in the booth for lunch until her husband came down with Covid and they had to leave.

But had no energy to visit, play, go to bardics, shop etc. Just work. Even the campmates stayed mostly around camp during the War instead of going out. Think it was because folks were tired and some of us are broken this war.

Pennsic much as I dearly love it, has never been a vacation. Also isn't for the volunteers.

Here is a good place to vent, not FB. I very rarely vent on FB. Have too many dear friends that I do not want to hurt there. Tisn't the same here.

I don't regret this past Pennsic but there are a few lessons that all of us learned from it.
