[MR] Soundings of the Conch - On Your Feet!

[Gina Shelley]

My first Pennsic I camped in Atlantian Royal. A gentleman (and in the off chance he's reading this, he knows who he is) berated me for not bowing to the Queen, who came out of her tent behind me as I walked by...

As I was bent under the weight of a couple of heavy buckets of soapy water on my way to do the camp's dishes (it was my turn)...

After the Crown had decided we weren't doing the pomp and circumstance thing in camp while official business wasn't going on (it wasn't). In other words, no bowing while we're all hanging out. 

I just rolled my eyes and kept staggering on, wet skirts slapping against my legs, and wondering how he had time to open up his mouth but not time to shut it, get off his butt, and help me with the water. 

Classy.
