Chess Match
The chess match was this afternoon. After so frantic costuming and scurrying around, and a few very worried minutes in which pulsebeat and I were unsure if we were going to be able to get the chessboard to untangle (N.B. don't try to untangle it - instead, try to spead it out as much as possible. When you get to an edge, work along it until you can pull out a corner or two, then go along to the next edge, etc. Also, we rolled it when we put it away, so try unrolling first, if you can find something to unroll.
The chess games were a lot of fun. The computer-generated game was nice and bloody, but if we do that again I think that the kings should sit down and play the game sometime before, just so that they have an idea of what happens. I think that having the computer-played game first took a lot of pressure off of the players, so that it was easier to do a speed-chess game after.
I took many pictures, which I'm sure will be awesome. However, 260 megs of photos is far more than my photobucket account can handle, so I'll put them on facebook instead, and people can e-mail me if they want the nice big originals.
All of the costumes were amazing. I just have to put that out there.
And from Ellirpa: Pay It Forward: I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment here on my blog. I don’t know what that gift will be yet, but you will receive it within 365 days. The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar agreement on your blog.

Well, it gives me a better shot at going down in history as the only one of my generation never to get a facebook account.

And I'll point out that the only reason I have an lj is that someone told me to . . .

But yes, lack of flash/floppy disk/CDRW is very distressing unto me these days. I don't trust these newfangled "Web Sites" with their "PhotoBuckets." *grumble grumble* Gosh-darned kids, get off my lawn! *shakes cane*

Skip that! Get on to the good part! And remember where to stop at! *thumps floor loudly*
