Now that I'm done with the new issue of Wild Violet, I can begin to get caught up on things I wanted to share in my blog. At long last, here are photos from Friday of Otakon 2011.

( Yay! Pictures at last! )

This past weekend, The Gryphon, our Kung Fu Panda and I attended Com Con, the annual staff retreat for Otakon. I took lots of pictures, although admittedly, a lot of them are of KFP!

As I mentioned in my entry on Monday, Labor Day was a busy social weekend for us, seeing friends each of the three days.

The Court Wizard was in town Sunday and Monday, staying with The Cheshire Cat and The Paper. We met at 6 p.m. at the home of The Cheshire Cat and The Paper. In addition to The Gryphon and I, also attending were The White Rabbit ( Read more... )

This weekend was Com Con, which is the annual winter retreat for Otakon staffers. Traditionally, it is both a working weekend and an opportunity to socialize.

( A little work, a little fun. )

On Friday, July 4, The White Rabbit hosted a barbecue at his place. The festivities continued Saturday, because some people don't get time off for federal holidays.

The White Rabbit threw two Memorial Day celebrations, on Sunday and Monday. I had to work Monday, so we arrived in the afternoon and left early.

( Hamburgers, Bocce, Frisbee, conversation and rocking out! )

Since this was Memorial Day weekend, The White Rabbit hosted a barbecue at his place. He actually had guests on both Sunday and Monday, knowing some had to work Monday and wouldn't have made it otherwise.

( Get a glimpse of the festivities. )

Sunday afternoon, we went to a matinee of Avenue Q at the Forrest Theatre. We went with a group of people but got our tickets separately so that everyone could get the seats they wanted at the range they wanted. The idea was to meet up afterwards and have dinner together.
