War of the Wings Part 2

At the War of the Wings, we had our very first visitors to our encampment. My husband, Edward, wanted to learn a little bit about drumming to see if he would like to get a drum and learn more. I located Akbar, who is a very good and very popular drummer. He agreed to give Eddie a lesson or two and came with us to our campsite. What we didn't realize is how quickly Akbar can draw a crowd! It was very enjoyable; a couple of dancers even came. Eddie also got hooked on the Doumbek and now has one of his own and is learning to play. Having a small drumming circle in our little spot was surely one of the highpoints of the weekend. Thanks Akbar {{BIG HUGS}}!!!

(This FINALLY posted - this is the second post from War of the Wings 2011. We are looking forward to Drums of War next month and also War of the Wings 2012.)

This was a really fun event and there was quite a lot to see and do. I took a couple of classes and had a wonderful time with new friends and old. The weather was close to perfect and the atmosphere was great. Lots of goreous garb to gawk at and I even entered the novice A&S competition. Ben did as well and although neither of us won, we did learn quite a bit.

Ben/Snorri had a great time with Tipsy, who is our Housemates' little pup. She is quite adorable and Ben learned that a guy carrying a little puppy means that there wil be a lot of female attention. I don't think Tipsy had a bad time - she was passed from one person to another and spoiled terribly.







Edward was authorized for the Epee as he had only authorized for Heavy Rapier before this event. He fought in the Epee tournament and although he got a bit overheated by the end of it; he did seem to enjoy every minute of it.
