Looking Ahead

My grand quest got derailed by mundane life over the past year or so, but I'm very hopeful to make a fresh start in 2019 and get several states checked off the list!

I'll update this as plans get made, so check back! And if there's an event local to you that you think I'd enjoy, please do suggest it to me!

Here is a VERY preliminary overview of what I'm thinking for the coming year (most kingdoms don't have more than one or two events on their calendars this far out, so it's hard to plan):

Event Itinerary, July - September 2017

All of these events (except Pennsic) are tentative, pending the assignment of work shifts at the airport. I will update accordingly when I have more solid information.

You'll notice a marked increase in East Kingdom events -- that's a conscious decision on my part, in an effort to finally and really join the East rather than straddling two kingdoms. Atlantia will always remain in my heart and I will always proudly tell people where I come from. However, I have to embrace the reality that, at least for the foreseeable future, a return to Atlantian residency is not in the cards.
