Our band was doing really well. We had gigs at most of the smaller faires in Southern California, were sold out on CDs, had a great sound and enough songs for multiple sets. Not bad for a first year band. Then stuff happened and we lost one of our sopranos. We have not been able to find a replacement, and that has kind of killed the band, unfortunately.
I have been trying to work on getting another band together with a couple friends (Brain-child of one of those friends) It is slow going, but it has potential.

| Clan Darksail: Great Western War, 2012 |
I went to my first SCA event last October - Great Western War at Lake Evans. I played with the pirates of Clan Darksail, but I still wore my Gallows Guild gypsy costume. I got a pair of really cool, handmade curly-toed shoes for my costume too, but I need to make myself a legit, non-hollywood-ish pirate costume.

| Galloween: Aces of Hearts and Spades |
I met the most AWESOME guy at the war, and we have been dating ever since. He still amazes me with his awesomeness.

| He likes to go out and meet new people. |
I also acquired a Bearded dragon around the end of October. His name is Smaug.
Southern Faire is in full swing at Irwindale Dam, and I have switched groups this year. Most of my Faire "career" I have been playing with Clan Maccolin/St. Andrews guild, but this year I am playing with the border reivers. It's a lot of fun.
I am taking 2 weeks off from Irwindale faire to go play with Gallows Humor at Escondido Faire. I will be back at Irwindale for closing weekend.
