NEWSFLASH - PENNSIC MEETS HANBAL
Hey guys - I made it.
Flight from Frankfurt airport was good - arrived at Washington DC (Dulles International) during a lighting storm. Ground staff were all sent inside and we had a 70 min wait about 50m from the terminal. By the time we (and all the other planes) made it inside, it was a shambles. Too many people coming through, collecting baggage, going through customs and stuff (but, they let me in).
Caught my connecting flight to Pittsburgh which was 2hrs late in running, got to Pittsburgh and found that only 1 of my 2 bags had joined me on the train (good news is that it arrived the next day, the airline paid for it to be sent to the campsite).
Pennsic is great but unlike anything you've done before (SCA or otherwise). Its a regular campground / Multiple Rowany festivals / Sunday markets and many other things all rolled into one.
It is very hot during the days (mid to high 30's), and in the valley its very humid as well (theres a lake).
I should be doing my first combat this afternoon - have so far been at site for 3 nights (arrived the first & partied the next 2) - and have so far had about 13-14 hours sleep in total - so am likely to crash at some stage (hopefully after fighting this afternoon).
Photos and more later.
Cheers

Yay! You got to Pennsic!
I've really been enjoying reading of your adventures and the photos are great. Thanks for sharing this.
I'd say 'take it easy' and 'look after yourself' but it's Pennsic...

Great to hear you are having a good time. I just got back from USA on wed - I didnt realise Pennsic was so close timewise to the Glass Conference I was attending - that has potential for future years!
Enjoy the rest of your trip and take care!
