Playin' "SCA-Hooky"
Dec. 1st, 2007 08:30 pmI did not make it to the fabulous Fall-ish Fiber Frolic at Friends Field Field Fouse House. What I did do was clean house a little and brave the Manhattan crowds to check "Hundred Merry Tales" out of the NYPL again (Sorry ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shalmestere , QBPL's copy is reference-only 8). I know it's got to be worth the effort of plowing through the pile of Generic Cuckolded Spouse Escapades and Poop Stories That Would Gag Howard Stern that I remember from my last reading. Zall's collection adds four other books to the mix (Alphonse and Poggue, Tales and Quick Answers, Howleglass, and extracts from The Mirror of Mirth). HMT itself contains the immortal "Nuts and Mutton" story the Coribantes used to act out. I think adding tales from jestbooks/chapbooks enhances the SCA performers' repertoire--these won't spellbind people for ten minutes at a stretch, but you need both short and long pieces depending on your audience and situation.
Further updates as the reading continues....
Took a walk down Fifth Avenue to check out shop windows and mechanical dolls) at Lord & Taylor ("The Sight / Sound / Feel / Taste / Aromas / Spirit of Christmas" ) and Macy's (Do they do "Miracle On 34th Street" every year?). I was going to brave the midtown Borders for a book for my nephew, but the crowds on the street got more daunting by the minute. Hustled back to Queens.
House / pet - sitting overnight. (Note read in part: "There's food in the fridge. Please eat some of it..." ::::eyes KFC bag:::: Oops... Oh well, I had a bit of a craving for spicy/herby chicken...) House is lovely. Pets also lovely.
