damn it's hot

I was in 18thc today for the Indian King from 7-10 this morning (some town-wide gathering thing where sites and businesses had tables set up for some local news show team to come around and talk to The Citizens...no, no one interviewed us, because history is boring). I wore my unlined cotton jacket and two linen petticoats (and underpinnings, natch), and by 8.30 the jacket had to come off. I had plenty of water and we were in the shade, but it should Not Be That Hot by 8.30am!

I hate summer.

Getting up at 6 to dress completely effed up my day, anyway - I work in the evenings and get up late and stay up late - 6am really throws off my schedule! I tried to resist the lure of the nap, but failed miserably. So, basically no sewing today besides what I did in costume this morning!

I can't believe that the news crew did not interview you. In Gettysburg, the local news crew always interviews anyone dressed historically.

We were all just *slightly* offended that the camera crews walked past us twice and ignored us, haha. I was surprised the funny clothes didn't even get a sound byte!
