Today it begins. My 6 day adventure into Kansas, aka Jerrytown, starts today at noon. Am I excited? More anxious than anything. I am going into the unknown here. This is a craft show we’ve never done before. And we’re camping for the duration. And it coincides with a world renowned fingerpicking competition. And our campsite is called “Comfortable Shoes”. Oh, Ronnie James, sainted prophet of Metal, help me be strong and stay true to the faith.

Anyways, La Duchess sent me this video last night and it is both awesome and terrifying. Please enjoy:

I want to know how he made the little tiny cow. Also, it seems we as the human race have had a strange fascination with animals playing cards for a very long time. Creepy.

Teacher Sis just sent me an email. All it said was “Chuck Norris’s patronus is Neville Longbottom.” That was just what I needed this morning.

There has been much debate over whether or not to bring my lappie along for the adventure. Ultimately I have decided to leave it here. Sure there may be electricity to charge it there. Sure there might even be innernet. But it boils down to the fact that I’m going to be camping. In a tent. For 5 days. And it is forecast to rain every second that I am there. I don’t really feel like lugging my lappie with me everywhere I go whilst subsequently protecting it from getting wet. Imagine if the tent floods while I’m sleeping. Lappie drowns. All is lost. In all reality, I’m looking forward to being away from a keyboard for a few days. It’ll be a nice break. It seems that I spend more and more time typing everyday. I think it will be good to write each day’s post on a piece of paper with a pencil for a change.

So, yes, I will be posting everyday like normal, but in more of a moment by moment kind of way. Like running commentary almost. And then there’s that part about you not being able to see it. You know, because I’ll be in Jerrytown and you’ll be wherever you are. And the post will be on a sheet of paper in my bag. What did you think you could read it just because I was writing it? I may be a wizzerd, but I can’t work friggin’ miracles kid. Anyways, pencil meets paper style posting for the next little bit. You’ll get a full typed out version or possibly scanned when I get back.

We’ll see how well this works out. I have high hopes. Not nearly as high as they will be in Jerrytown, though. Kidding, sort of.

Well, I think that’s all I’ve got for you today. I’m going to go pack up a few more things and set my gmail to tell you that I’m out of town. Have a wonderful week. Try not to miss me too much. More later, rather than soon. ~SC
