Pool Party

I had a mostly great time:

A little hot soup is always nice when it turns cold, so I made a huge pot of chicken-barley-vegetable soup yesterday and brought some along to the pool party (unfortunately forgetting the ladle, but we made do.) Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] laurel for finding spoons!(and all your efforts as hostess!) (I also brought something to drink, per instructions. :)

I was pleased to see Floyd H, back in town for a while and to chat with him, [livejournal.com profile] markiv1111 and Louie. I was also pleased to see all those other friends who I didn't get much chance to talk with: [livejournal.com profile] bonz_lizard, [livejournal.com profile] chasophonic and [livejournal.com profile] cari_rose, [livejournal.com profile] alierajean and more than I can list at the moment.

I spent most of my time at the party in one of the side rooms filking with a good crowd of other singers, (including usuals [livejournal.com profile] thorintatge, Richard, Rich, DaveA, and John Sanderson on guitar - as well as a lot of drop-ins. We sang for hours, and I was often singing at the top of my voice, which turns out to be a bad idea in dry, chlorine-laden air.

By the time we wrapped up I had a headache and a slight nose-bleed.

By the time the other musicians were setting up the larger circle in the main room I was feeling out-of-sorts, and didn't think I'd be missed, so I headed home early. (And was able to give a ride to a couple friends, who'd have been stuck waiting around if I'd stayed later.)
