woodinsleep and sleepyfair

Wow so okay yeah! Saturday! Woodinville, as planned; I alternated a little with a banjo player who did some nice work, and neither of us got much money - but, well, welcome to Woodinville Market, particularly early in the season. But it was fun, if omg hot from playing in the sun. I introduced the new flute song (which is stubbornly refusing to name itself, which is very strange), and the vendors seemed to like it - too bad there weren't really many customers around, but, well, you do what you do. I also played most of the usual things and "Old Black Rum" which I normally don't but was worth playing on Kohaku.

So I got done with my set and went to the Norwescon post-convention concom meeting and election, and the meeting was fine and the post-meeting social at SunnyJim's grandparents' house was fun, and almost-sorta a house concert, because I got asked whether I'd bring in instruments and play, and I ended up jamming with toxic_pink37 and also just playing a bunch of things for people (several things, but including January and Outbirds and Stars and I forget what else) and generally had a good time.

Then today Anna and I went down to the University District Streetfair where we ran into hsifyppah and vixyish and gfish and tereshkova2001 and mamishka and eventually later cow and ate too much fair food and walked around for hours and Anna and I gave hats back to the Hatterdashery guy for repairs and I ordered a special hat in size SUPER-GNORMOUS because I have a SUPER-GNORMOUS HEAD. And then Anna spotted a hat already made that fit, and grabbed it, and wouldn't give it to me even though it totally looks better on my head. (She's so mean.) So I got revenge by finding a very attractive skirt-and-sleeved-vest top that I'll wear over nothing a white slip or something and a nice red zippered hoodie sort of like my many-coloured one but very, very red.

We also found someone selling butter chicken and vindaloo sauces, so after the fair I stopped at the grocery on the way home and bought things to make butter chicken and garlic nan. The butter chicken came out very well, the nan came out only okay, but Erin gave me a nan recipe that she says works well and I'll try that next time.

And then I dozed for a bit and played with the slidey song that I don't have a name for yet either and did my daily recording and now it's clearly past time for bed.

Ha ha I love the 'skirt over NOTHING, uh, I mean a white slip or something' bit!

I haven't spent enough time being inappropriately underdressed lately.

And in another possible sign of virtual borders creeping into place, the nan recipe link tried to redirect me to allrecipes.co.uk. A site that as far as I can tell is identical to the .com one except for not letting you resize recipes o.O. Still, managed to get to .com and resize from 14 servings and shall definitely try that one. Mmm, naan...

Ah, I would have loved to run into guys there, but I was either weeding or recovering from weeding all day yesterday.

ha! Yeah, can't run into us if you're not there. ^_^
