WIMP!!!
Some of us braved the elements on Saturday - to a degree. It was cold and wet, the ground was soaked and there were standing puddles and mud everywhere. It rained all day, varying from a light drizzle at best to a downpour at worst, and as the wind picked up the rain became horizontal.
Some of the clan tents set up a minimal display, while others didn't set up at all (I set up for about 2 hours and then put everything away as it was just getting wet), and some who will not be named like Mael didn't even show up. Almost everyone retreated to a large building where all the vendors where located to stay warm and dry, do some socializing, and maybe even shop. According to a friend, the vendors did good business.
Sunday was much improved. Lots of sun, only a light breeze, and temps in the mid-50s. Still muddy and soggy ground but that was nothing compared to Saturday.
