Saturday we spent the day at Winter Oasis, an SCA event that happens every year in January. Its a middle eastern event with classes, merchants, wonderful food, and ends with a Hafla. Since most of our friends are musicians and drummers this event is quite popular with us. Most folks that play in the SCA have European personas, so this is our groups time to shine! After being cooped up all winter, this is a great excuse for all of us to get-together and jam! I took a bunch of photos at Oasis, and this is a little poster i made with some of the highlights of the event. Click on the images to get a better look at everything.
Jordyn had a ball...she ran all around, danced, sang, and even squeezed in a nap! Here she is admiring Bretts drumming, while daddy plays the sitar, and Kama Devi plays the harp. Speaking of which, ive included a video at the bottom of my blog page from an event July 07 that shows jordyn dancing before she could walk :) (it drags a bit, so you might be better off clickin on the video to watch it on youtube instead)
I had a chance to hit the merchants and purchased some new garb, a Moroccan bracelet, and some hair sticks with peacock feathers. Justin purchased a new fencing mask, and Jordyn got some tassels to make a dance belt. It was a gorgeous day in town and we had a great time!
Enjoy the pics!
cheers~

What a shame I missed it! Belly dancing, drumming and lots of fun (and food) are right up my street! Haflas are such fun for all the family. Bet you had a great time looking at all the merchandise -lots of sparkly eye candy there!
