Well..consolation prize?

While everyone from QuarterCon was recovering from Braless Thursday at Pat O's...I was becoming a puppy nana. Pudge had her pudgelings on Friday morning -4 of them (poor dog! She is SO tiny) 2 girls, 2 boys and the first boy born was black so he sorta got stuck with being called Grover Junior (or junior) for now. I am pleased to report all are well and Pudge is a fantastic mama. I know..pics. I ...

Another great Quartercon

Thank you Connie and Noah for the fun gathering! It was so much fun to see everyone again!

In spite of a rocky start it was a good day

... are other weekends. Hmmm Halloween will be here soon so I have to figure out what I'm going to wear that night.. *ponders* I do have that vampire outfit which I have yet to wear..and consider how smoky it will be at the Emerald that may be a good choice. Gee, a few weeks after that will be quartercon !! *GLEE* Anyways gonna sign off now, hoping the rest of the week goes by okay. :)

The Sounds of Summer

... Beth Patterson in a rare house concert. It's actually been a while since we've seen Beth, since her last couple of shows up here have been during Boskone and we didn't make it down to N'Awlins for QuarterCon last year. She has a new CD out which is mostly (if not all) originals, similar to her "Take Some Fire" CD. The concert was much fun. It being a house concert (and thus a less serious venue),...

When is QuarterCon?

Fortysomething Friday Four!

...'t mind sharing, what sorts of resolutions have you made? 4. What are you most looking forward to in 2009? EDIT : Oops! This was supposed to be posted in the fortysomething community, but I messed up and posted it here. However, that is a very nice community if you want to stop by, and I'm certainly pleased to have found out what some of my QuarterCon friends do for New Year's, too.

Philcon: A Triumphant Return

We spent a fun weekend up at Philcon . This was our first visit in several years, having missed the previous three years due to work, family, and quartercon , respectively. The new hotel was pretty nice, other than an HVAC system that made the floor just inside the door of the filk room vibrate, a Sunday morning mundane event with too-loud bass booming across the lobby, and the fact they ...

Too drunk, lemme sum up...

Having a faboo time in NOLA. ^___^ nsingman and jungle_goddess are awesomesauce on toast, as are the rest of the quartercon regulars. Much boozahol has been consumed, much entertaining and interesting conversation. Also awesomesauce on toast is sexandviolins , whom I met up with tonight, and had so much fun with we're getting up again tomorrow night for more ...

Yeah, this is different.

I can't make Quartercon this year. Big shocker, I know. Sorry to post this so very late in the game, but I was hoping for some last-minute financial miracle I did not, naturally, get -- even with gas down to $2 a gallon, the cost of driving down there, taking a cab to get around, and paying for things is just... okay, I have nothing right now. My income is now about half what it was this time ...

My man is wandering the French Quarter without me! Gah, stupid day job. Stupid mortgage and bills. Otherwise, I would be there with him. Is QuarterCon still going on? Hopefully you guys will find him and keep him out of *too* much trouble. Or not. ;-)
