We got the job & I got my Mongol Boots
Well, as it was announced at Rowany Festival this year - Ute & I will be the next Baroness & Baron of Stormhold (Central & Western Melbourne & Victoria).
3rd time was the charm after all.
Our investiture will be on 3 July 2009, with further information available from the website.
This has led to us deeply involved in planning our investiture garb (for those not aware of the SCA - its a big deal, with lots of speccy looking costume often being made).
As such - our plans & intentions are that I will be wearing 14th Century Mongolian & Ute will be wearing 14th Century German.
To start off my outfit(s), I have ordered & purchased a pair of handmade Mongolian boots, from Mongolia (see the picture - Corona beer included for size comparison) - They are big & beautiful and well worth the price. If your interested, this is the website.
I'll be back soon with a bigger update on Life, the Universe, Kittens, Fish & Injuries

Yah for you, and Ute and for Mongol Boots!
I won't be there to celebrate in person with you, I'll instead be on the Gold Coast for an expenses paid junket... it's a hard life. Oh and then I fly out to the USA the next weekend for a month. Perhaps I'll see you some time in the second half of the year to congratulate you in person :D
I look forward to photos of your investment.
Congratulations! You will be having sooo much fun as Baron ... especially wearing those totally awesome mongol boots.
Please post pictures of your inauguration!

Thanks guys - the boots are great, wore them to Monthly Bash today - actually quite comfortable - but lend themselves to a lean or wide foot stance when standing straight (such as being court herald which I thought I'd have a go at today).
There will be plenty of photos of the inauguration on the web - here, facebook & elsewhere.
