1st Raid with the new guild

So after all the emo turmoil of waiting to get into my new guild and getting in, the big day has come. 1st raid. Better show my stuff. Tank hard, avoid damage, don't step in that, move boss so they can step in this. I review the TS vids on all the fights I am not familiar with. I restock my raid supplies and park my toon outside of Ulduar and log for the night. I was pretty worried about pissing them off becouse I allready knew I would be late for my 1st raid with them. We don't do calander invites people just show on progression nights and we go.

OK, raid starts at 1900. I am drummer in the church band. I have to setup for concert at 1600, sound check at 1700, play from 1730 to 1830. Teardown and home around 1915. Not bad 15min late will be ok since i informed them the day i was accepted I would be late.

Then I find out the truth. The pastor and the council decided it would be better if we served the meal first. Oh man. I love old people's cooking at a church event as much as the next guy but ya kinda need to announce these things. So lets check times. Raid is at 1900. Set up at 1600. Sound check at 1700. Eat 1730. Concert at 1830. Tear down at 1930. Home about 2015. 75min late. Not what I had in mind.

So we got throught the concert. Guitarist was somewhere in space. Sounds like someone needs to show up to practice more. But it was a good time. And old lady cooking is awsome. My 6 year old decided that, why have chicken when there are more desserts than spots on the plate. Can't say I would have made a diff choice myself at that age.

2000, woot speed teardown, and lots of people helping. Home logged in and ready to go. Put up in guild chat a simple good evening people. Get wsp from RL. You want in? Yes i do but I don't want to take anyone's spot that was ontime. No probs he tells me. This guy wasnt feeling well and was just going to go to bed. WOOOOT!!!! Riad invite, lock summons and I am standing at Razor. Apparently i was not the only one late. Then the bad news. They needed me to dps this night. Ya know what. I'm ok with that. I just wanted to raid.

1st impression of raiding with new guild. I love these guys and gals. This invironment suites me perfectly. Lots of fun and chatting. joking around. Time to pull a boss and they lock in. All serious at that point. Fast moving to. My old guild had to have smoke breaks every other boss in Naxx. I staid quite for the night as I was new and not sure of my place. We proceeded to 1 shot Razor, Decon, Kolo, Freya, Ariya, Hodir, and mimi. Tonight we are starting with IG, IC then hardmode Thorim(progression). Even though I am new and not allowed to roll yet I got Twisted Visage from Decon and Shoulderpads of the Monlith from Kolo. Those that posted I would get gear even though i was new in this guild were right. Those 2 things where the only feral drops of the night and i got both.

In closing TY to all you who read my crappy blog entries and offer up your support. The GL and RL contacted me after run and asked what i thought. I told them how much fun i was having and how impressed i was with there leadership and everyones eagerness to listen to that leadership. They said ty and infromed that the officers had talked and they where impressed with what they saw. It was a unanamous decision i was a good pickup for the guild. So my night that i thought was screwed becouse of conflicks turned out great. Feels good to be home in this guild.
