Bourgondisch Brabant

The weekend after Castlefest the Open Air museum in Eindhoven, where I am a volunteer, will be having an event called "Bourgondisch Brabant". The event will be a lot of fun, with workshops and storytelling, Johannes de Nar, brewing beer, baking pretzels, etc. etc. There will be more information about the first "Bourgondier": Hertog Jan van Brabant. (Wasn't he related to Aimée?)

The Historical Open Air Museum is much like the Archeon, with a noble homestead, a lovely inn, herb gardens, several houses from various times, etc. During the event the entire museum will be host to the festivities, swordfighting demonstrations by the Zwaardkring (where I train also).

I will be volunteering on the 11th, but the event lasts both days: 11 and 12 August 2012.
Entree fee for the museum is € 8,50 as far as I can tell from the website. Some more information about the event can be found here.

Anybody want to come visit?

In related news: My dress Apple has been approved for this event, and I am allowed to wear it in the museum. To have a dress be historically approved is a first for me, and although I need a new underdress (Carrot is just too bright), I can borrow one from the museum for the occasion.

Wisdom teeth

You encounter a surgeon. Divide your wisdom stat by 2!

Great surgeon, it took him 20 minutes to pull two wisdom teeth on the left side. I'm still rocking the aenesthetic, so we'll see how I feel in a few hours. I've taken preventive pain medication for when it wears off, hoping to slide smoothly into painkillers.

I'm cradling a bag of deep-frozen peas, awesome tip from teacher Helen, because they mold to my cheek, and I'll join Lisa on the couch in a moment.

Also, I brought home a souvenir or two. *wicked grin*
