Club Vivid highlights!
Actually, the first highlight was skipping out with Ces and Melina and spending the morning roaming a piece of Bucktown (the area around the Damen stop on the blue line, full of interesting shops and restaurants), buying heaps of last-minute Club Vivid bling from a going-out-of-business store, and then eating giant quantities of amazing food from a place called il forno right on the corner half a block from the subway. om nom nom. I also acquired presents for Hypatia, because I am so not above bribing her to better tolerate mommy going away for a weekend of dissipation.
Then I came back, hung in the con suite half-chatting with many lovely people while I wrote a bit (yes, ok, it is well established I am a workaholic *clings to work*), got to hug
elz and
talitha78 ♥ and then headed back upstairs, watched mollyamory & therienne & arduinna awesomely fancy up their hair with bright colors, wrote a bit more, then Ces and geekturnedvamp returned from their salon excursion with Truly Fabulous Hair, and we got all dressed up and headed down to the party!
A non-exhaustive list of my own highlights:
Once again being in outfit sync with dualbunny! WE CAME TO SPARKLE. <3
bradcpu and milly in their amazing Star Wars cosplay, and Milly's Imperial vid.
jarrow as always bringing the positive energy and being ridiculous amounts of fun to dance with and near and watch ♥
Long lovely convo with sockkpuppett and soaking up her awesome and her wisdom, also her ANCIENT ALIENS vid to Wang Chung.
Salsa dancing with
spatz to my vid (not a premiere, this is my older Ocean's Eleven vid to Would You...?) OMG can we please have a salsa challenge for Club Vivid next year! It would be lovely to have a salsa section of the show, and it is not hard to learn the basics (although I admit best not danced in five inch platform heels late in the party, but I didn't cripple spatz so there is that :P)
Being pimped into Assassin's Creed by
rhoboat -- go to her journal, she just posted her awesome vid! -- although oh god 40 hours of gameplay for each game, IDK if I will ever make it through. (Also I have been lured in the direction of the new Neverwinter Nights (!) MMO by
mollyamory, and will probably give that a whirl too!)
talitha78's smoking-hot Peter/Neal White Collar vid for Tonight (I'm F**king You) which, cough, was very good for me. *writes PWP*
And just all the warmth and love of Vividcon and fandom all around!
I even made it to the very end in the aforementioned five-inch platforms, although my legs are now informing me that possibly that might not have been the very best idea of all time.
I have strategically given up on making it down to breakfast this morning and am instead reclined on the couch eating cheese and Chips Ahoy and microwaved tea, part of this nutritious breakfast. (I note I am such an awesome roommate that I am resisting the Tostitos because cesperanza is still dead to the world and there is no way to eat Tostitos quietly.)
Today a glorious swath of panels and vidshows and consuite hanging-out stretch ahead of me, assuming I ever lever myself off this couch, and then premieres tonight! *rolls about in fannish glee*
