Garden pics

Yesterday I went belly-up in the garden to take some special pictures. Here's the best.



Pelargonium, also known as Geranium. This is what we call Ooievaarsbek in Dutch (Stork's beak)

Anarquendor Goes Basel

I can hardly fathom it. Tomorrow it's already time for Anarquendor Goes Basel!

A year ago I received an e-mail from an enthusiastic roleplayer named Andy from another Drachenfest group. He was kind enough to explain some of the political things from Drachenfest, and when we met at Drachenfest we hit it off right away. Our two groups trained together and we fought side-by-side.

After Drachenfest I found out his group spoke on Skype and we started Skyping together. One day I heard an announcement on Utrecht Central Station about a CityNightLine train to Basel. When I told Andy it would be really simple for us to come visit them. Well, as one thing led to another, we have now been invited to the Mauvetian Frühlingsspielen on 'their world'.

Four of the Anarquendor will pile their stuff into a stationwagon tomorrow evening, and somewhere between 2 am and 8 am we hope to arrive in Basel, ready for two long days of tourney, both in the field as well as in the political arena.

In a way this trip is so surreal. We're off to larp in Switzerland! OMG! How many people would just go out and do that?
I'm massively nervous but oh so excited. The whole concept is just too cool.
