My gods that was epic

[solarbird]

Back from nwcMUSIC at Norwescon – and that was the best time I’ve had at one of those in years. I sold a bunch of CDs and met a bunch of people and learned a bunch of things and THANKS for coming to my sets, even the last-second fill-in spot on Saturday night! I wish there’d been time to get word out, but that’s how it goes with last-minute cancellations.

(The band which dropped out the day of their show described their reasons as “personal” and “sudden,” which is an apt description for a car bomb. Note that down, kids: never get between a supervillain and the stage she wants! XD )

So much to see and do and so little time even in four days. Cascadia’s Got Talent! was a riot, Heather Dale is an unending fount of friendliness and cheer, we had new attendance marks at concerts – the Thursday shows this year, the experimental first-time shows, did better than last year’s Friday shows – blue stripies are awesome, Kinuko Craft is a lovely person to talk to, and I had no idea how much I’d missed the Merchants of Diva until they were back. With their vodka.

I didn’t know vodka fluoresced! But now I do. This is critical information.

Way too many con people to thank from the con and the concerts, but include Heather Dale, Ben Deschamps, Vixy & Tony, Death*Star, Annie Henry, Leannan Sidhe, Sunnie Larsen, Betsy Tinney, Dave Tinney, Aislinn the Bard, Starlight, Electric Children, Andrew Ross, Jen Kilmer, Dave Tinney, John Seghers, Angela Korra’ti, and if I forgot anybody it’s just ’cause I’m so tired.

Four days of awesome means I need a nap. Let’s do this again sometime!

Car bomb?!

oh how silly of me

Did I say car bomb? I meant restraining order. Did I say restraining order? I meant gentle hug.

Seriously, I think it was the best NWC since at least Neil Gaiman. Possibly since before that. All sorts of things just fell into place.

Dave is so awesome, you thanked him twice. :)
The drinks at the Deva party were most excellent. Mine went from bright yellow-orange to dark red, depending on if it was in the light or in shadow.

lol I was pretty tired last night XD

Mine went from "pretty much clear" to "CARTOON RADIOACTIVE GREEN" which I mostly failed to catch in photograph. But it was cool. I kept wandering in and out of the UV light just to watch it activate!

Oh, and did you ever get that blue off, or did you just decide to go full time? XD

My face is human, and my hands are human except for what looks like traces of nail polish, and I'm wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt. :-)

Vodka lases, too.

Once I get done with my sodium bomb I clearly need to turn to vodka science!

Might I suggest a good Russian mad scientist?

The problem with American ones is they apparently prefer to work with jello.
