BRXX
And reality settles in. It's been two days since we left BRXX, and things are starting to return to normal. My event headspaciness has fairly well waned, which took longer than I was prepared for. All in all I had a fantastic time. We spent a little more money than we should have, but we're not exactly pinched from it. Some minor budget shuffling and all is well.
I found my way into some pick-up play saturday evening, which was most excellent. It's unfortunate that I was cramped for time and had to get my car out of the garage by midnight (not to mention the drive back to Baltimore), because I would have liked to spend more time with the very nice and lovely (and bubbly/giggly/snuggly/omgyay) young lady before running off. We traded info and I look forward to playing with her again, if it's in the cards. I've only been back in the public scene for a few months now, and that bit of play was a very nice boost to my somewhat rusty ego. I'd been flying solo with Spiralsong in the scene department for a while now. Don't get me wrong, I love my Spiralsong very much, and we always have a blast when we play. It was nice to spread my wings though, and it's something I'll be more open to in the future now, more like how I used to be about it. I'd go so far as to say I was nervous about the idea somewhat, honestly. I pride myself generally on my performance and artistry (be it work, scene, whatever), and having only played with Spiralsong made me worried I'd not be able to read someone new the way I used to. Plus I'm a shy person in a lot of ways, but this event really helped pull me out of that. Let's see if it lasts.
Sunday was a bit of a bummer because that was the only day Spiralsong could come to the event, and we didn't get a chance to play there. We had a family function we had to attend in the evening, and the big playspace didn't open up until we had to leave. (Yes, I know there was a small playspace open, it was full when we checked.) The atmosphere was awesome though, and we both left in a very good place mentally. We did some shopping and some socializing, we did our volunteer shifts and tried to make the most of the time we had. My heart-felt thanks go to all the folks who's hard work made the event such an enjoyable experience for myself and Spiralsong, and for everyone else, too.
