weekend
Friday
- Dinner at Deville's with rabbit1080, missjaimee, notsomighty, bexish and her boy, roc-rocky, abouttheboy and jobaby. Entertaining decor, huge portions, dire service. J & I retreated before the entertainment started, but I gather the magician was not the world's greatest. Bring on _fnkymnky!
Saturday
- Awoken before 8am by phonecall from Dad - all Mum's files are missing from her (windows) laptop. Determined it wasn't anything I did when installing their wireless router last Tuesday, and she's hopefully just logged in as the wrong user. They'll poke their PC support person.
- Exomod for coffee in the morning.
- Worked on some art in the afternoon while J headed off to another engagement.
- rabbit1080 and I headed down to Exomod late evening to catch narcissamalfoy7 and kae-dash for coffee and to check out their costumes. Most of the gang weren't going to arrive until the Court or sIn, so J & I went home for a bit until I headed out to..
- sIn. Quite a few people I hadn't seen for a while (great to catch jaseroque, alyssea and friends), a few people there for the first time (once they'd got ID hassles resolved), music was good, did a little stomping, disappointed a few by wearing low heeled boots, headed home by 1am, just missing out on an opportunity to reprise Chrys and my earlier attack on chaoticlusts' pants.
Sunday
- Breakfast at The Wild Fig up past North Beach with rabbit1080. Good views and food (though my pancakes were a little colder than usual - I blame the weather as much as the kitchen), excellent company, very busy at 8am. If I'd booked we could have had a table rather than just scraping in for the couch.
- Dropped by the inaugural Perth Science Fiction Club meeting just in time to catch illiadic's presentation on physics in sf, which was followed by an entertaining discussion about the impact and implications of social networking sites such as lj and facebook on privacy and how we organise our lives. Think I'll go again, but it's a shame it's only two days before the other monthly fannish event (drinks at Fantastic Planet - last Tuesday of each month).
- Dinner at my parents, where the bottle of red that J purchased was very well received, and J & I introduced my parents, brother and grandmother to the joy that is Eurovision. Who chose the winner anyway? Stupid bloc voting.
