Actually at this point it’s pretty near - after another deason, there’s just one more faire to go (as far as ones that I need to care about running). After Shasta this weekend, there’s just Folsom to go (and that’s as GuildMaster and nada else, which will rock, cause I love having at least a few faires each year where I can focus just on the group and the people). Then there’s Kearney Park, but if I do go, it’ll just be light duty or visiting people.

So ok, between those is Ione, but that’s hardly much work on the ground, or even leading up to the event. I’ll be there to get them up and running, but then it looks like work is sending us off on a departmental reward/bonding trip to Vegas that Sunday-Tuesday.

When it comes down to it tho, after managing/producing/running on some level eight faires since March, I’m just fried, and am so looking forward to the quiet of the off season. Visiting people I’ve barely had time to catch up with at all (still owing Darne that dinnerfor how long?) Visiting Dickens, maybe even a Gaskell (ooh, there’s a thought).

Of course there’s the plotting and planning for next year to start mulling about, but until the new year, that’s just random emails and a few meetings. Well I might have to go to a meeting in SoCal on the 18th which could have interesting results.

Fingers crossed that I get to go to Stockholm again in November for work. It’s a bit closer to winter than I’d have liked, but ah well…
