Last Saturday, I went to a IC gathering being hosted in Glasgow by a mate of mine. I had to scrounge up my costume from my Up-Helly Aa gear and a quick trip to A-Ha-Ha for new make-up but I got something together. It was a good evening though I didn’t do much. I need to revise up on my histories and so on, but I knew that anyway. I got to play a stereotypical Naga (lounging on the sofa for most of the evening paying little heed to anything but my own comfort) and I had a couple of bottles of Demijohns’ finest to help with that.

I’ve now got a hood and tunic in the works and I’ve booked the upcoming event. I’ve also bought even more costume and camping supplies. Transport may still be an issue, but I’m hoping that the minibus idea that got suggested pans out. I’m not sure I’ll look exactly how I wanted, but I’ll have kit, and I’ll have the right kind of look, I hope. It should be fun.
