I'm going over to help with setup tonight and will be around for much of the convention (probably commuting from home, so I don't know my precise schedule, for volunteering or other activities ( Read more... )

I'm living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Must be post-Arisia re-entry. :-}

jessruth said to me a week ago, "You haven't updated since Staxmas! I have no idea what you've been up to!" Yeah, I know; busy busy, not much to narrate. -- But when Tiger Boy says to me "Hey, you haven't updated in a while!"... I know I am overdue. :-)
