an eventful Saturday
Yesterday started early, picking up Kim right after breakfast to run around leaving Con fliers all over the neighborhood. We got around to several spots, and then met my parents and Mark at Crescent City Beignets for lunch. Mmm, seafood gumbo.
After lunch my parents and I met up at the Progressive Coalition's house party fundraiser for three City Council candidates running on progressive platforms. It was a pretty interesting gathering, and I was able to stay to hear all three candidates speak before heading out for my ConCom meeting.
ConCom meeting went pretty well. We're getting closer to the big day, so things are very intense. Scheduling is getting tight and a much larger portion of my free time than I expected has been dedicated to Con stuff. (Not a problem, but as this is my first year I'm still getting into the feel of it, gauging the job.)
After the meeting, several of us went to dinner at Sewadee Thai, and I had some yummy Squid Delight, which also served as a great breakfast today.
Then I went home to put up my leftovers and stash my paperwork. I got picked up later for a lovely and fun game night in the neighborhood, so yay. I had a really grand time and they introduced me to Fluxx, a card game I had never heard of but really enjoyed. I'll have to get myself some edition of Ticket to Ride to bring for play another time.
I slept in this morning, and now I'm trying to get some more drawing done. My deadlines loom.
Also, despite several library books waiting in the wings that I have started but not finished, I'm rereading Lirael and Abhorsen by Garth Nix. So much for new stuff.
(Also, good grief how much do I adore the soundtrack to Merlin? When will they release the music from the later episodes? It's really amazing.)
