Part of the burnout has been a lower tolerance level for socializing. Both the wife and I are introverts, but under normal circumstances SCA events tend to be less stressful in that regard. However... with having to go to more events, and having to do a job at those events rather than enjoying the event itself, the stress is there.
Twelfth Night is a weird SCA convention event. It's a giant cocktail party interspersed with tons of court. I've been avoiding court in general unless I have a reason to be there. And... we mostly avoided the cocktail party. Friday we went down to chat with Francisco & Anna, who we haven't seen in way too long. Unfortunately the circumstances don't look like they'll change that. But as soon as they left, we went back up to the room - we just didn't feel the Friday night party.
Saturday, as I mentioned, we had dinner - not with anyone else - and then went back to our room. No parties. Sunday if it hadn't been for the exchequer meeting, we probably would have buggered out relatively early.
I guess I feel like I should feel bad about not socializing. But I really don't.
