droxy has been using her considerable photo-fu and cleaning up and posting pics from LeakyCon. I highly suggest checking them all out. She's doing them in clusters, and tonight she posted pics of me with both Snape!droxy and Ollivander!droxy.

Re: the Ollivander pics in particular, yes, Patsfan knows droxy is a girl. No, he's not jealous. (Perplexed, but that ( Read more... )

We're not sure what happened, though we suspect Death Eater involvement, but they just evacuated several floors of the hotel for about ten minutes and then sounded the all clear.

Guess we're all awake now. *blinks*

The con itself isn't terribly well-organized. But the company is great and we're having a blast. Wish more of you were here! *waves ( Read more... )

I've mentioned before that I'm a bit of an accent-chameleon, which has gotten me into trouble more than once. Last year, I half-joked that by the end of Portus I'd have some weird hybrid accent going on.

So, I had planned to send this out last weekend, but (surprise surprise) didn't quite manage that. I do plan to get the first draft out to those who've asked to be included on it tonight, so this seems like a good time to check whether anyone wants to be added.

So, in a moment of lunacy, I volunteered to do the SS/HG spreadsheet for LeakyCon. If enough non-SS/HG people who are planning to go to Leaky are interested, I could be persuaded to do a multi-ship one ( Read more... )

The best rate I've found so far that's actually *in* Boston (most Expedia and Orbitz searches turned up only things waaay out of Boston for under $100/night) is at the Ramada Inn, 800 Morrissey Boulevard. They have a shuttle that runs to the JFK/UMass T station, and from there it's a straight shot to ... I presume Park Street is the best place to ( Read more... )

Really, it's pathetic. I never even made it while I was living in Boston! But I'm realizing that with this Sat-Sun starting my new schedule with a lovely third shift, there's just no way I'll be able to pull it off. Good thing I hadn't pre-registered. *sigh* So once again, I say, "Maybe next year ( Read more... )

I said something last week about a longer post coming. Guess this is it, complete with multiple cuts to make it easier to skip stuff that doesn't interest you or to scroll past if you're not interested at all.
