Event report: Crystal Fox Weekend

So this weekend I did two events at The Crystal Fox.

I drove from New Jersey to Annapolis on Friday night. It was a grueling trip. Only two hundred miles, but it took five and a half hours of miserable frickin traffic yuck.

But the hotel room was very nice.

I arrived at the Annapolis store rested and was warmly greeted by Spider and Dream. Everyone was friendly and the place was very nice. I taught The Structure of Spellcasting in the quick, one-hour version. It is HARD to squeeze that material into one hour. We ran over by about fifteen minutes and that still wasn’t enough. People were interested though, and it went well.

Then I strolled through the Annapolis mall, which was quite nice as malls go. I stared a lot at the many sailors in dress whites and thought “Fleet Week” until I realized I was not in New York but Annapolis, and there are always cadets in dress whites in Annapolis.

Sunday I arrived at the Laurel location for the next class. Same class, more people, bigger store. Really big store, actually, quite gorgeous and full of yummy Pagan goodies. Also nice air conditioning. After the class I did several readings and then drove home.

My back is killing me, but it was an excellent weekend. Sterling, Spider, Dream, and all the people I met were terrific.
