Mar. 14th, 2004 02:41 pmThis is definitely the season for our mountain laurels. I found out that they aren't really mountain laurels, but are Texas mountain laurels (Sophora secundiflora), also called mescal bean sophora (wise mescal bean?), a member of the pea family.
Mom showed up late (she'd gotten lost; *frown*) and we were able to get her hearing aids from the place in San Marcos without much trouble. The rain was tough on traffic, as was the bazillion cars that were crowding the roads, possibly for the SXSW thing. But she got off by 3, and was home before dark. That left us to play a rousing evening of D&D. Woo!
Saturday was a wedding, and then a bunch of slacking. I hope to have Brenda make me a robe; sometime soon we plan to go fabric shopping. We went looking for patterns but didn't find much- she thinks she can slap one together because I don't really want anything very complicated. The evening was spent watching Angel episodes (I'm liking) and otherwise taking it easy.
I'm still searching for camping possibilities. Gordon has told me about Banned Camp, the guys who were briefly kicked out of CMA but their camp-out is between Georgia trip and Arizona trip. I think I'll prefer to have a week off rather than try to go camping in there.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scorpionis has mentioned Io Pan Jam, which is the weekend of our Beltane. I can try to reschedule Beltane and had already asked for that Sunday off- I just need to find more info about IPJ. Of course I dig the name, but things like cost, how many attendees and what I would be expected to do (if anything) are things I need to find out. It's an OTO camp-out, so I expect it will have a different vibe than a pagan one or a Burner one. Possibly quieter and less 'huggy' which would probably be good for hub, who is not as thrilled about having his personal space invaded by random strangers as some. And I bet they don't have 72 straight hours of techno music, either! More news as I discover it.
