Things I liked about Media West

[viedma]

violetisblue, la_smartie, annlarimer and myself in the same room, watching Darkplace, laughing ourselves silly and having a whale of a time. la_smartie and annlarimer should totally get married because I said, I don't care if they're halfway across the country from one another.

Watching annlarimer blow a four-foot Dalek. >.>

violetisblue going to town and decorating a very funny Doctor Who themed door.

Maggie the Wonder Dog and Chelsie the Torbie Therapy Cat.

Meeting annlarimer's pals Jenny and Nita. The five of us spent a very pleasant afternoon chatting while I waited to liberate my slippers from Media West Art show hell.

An Australian fan bought a couple of my Flying Spaghetti Monsters. If they survive the journey, something I made will reside on another continent. Groovalicious.

Getting rid of three boxes of stuff from our basement, lickety-split.

Scoring t-shirts from neadods that were very cute 'n' comfy.

Hobnobs!

violetisblue's new Jarvis Cocker action figure. He does the splits. O_____o

The bandanas they gave out are made by the same company that makes our cloth napkins. It seems kind of a long way to go to get two more, but why be practical?

Casey Katt loooooooves her new catnip cat pad, omg does she love it. I think she missed us almost as much as we missed her.



And now I am glad to be back home. I think I overextended myself in more ways than one this weekend and am looking forward to nothing but a couple of days of weed pulling and flower planting.

:D It sounds like you had such a good time. And huzzah for new catnip cat pads and having your Flying Spaghetti Monsters on a whole new continent!

That's the best part of cons, meeting your pals and having a good time.

One of the FSMs that I made literally fell apart as she was carrying it away. I fixed it (sorta) and still kept her money as I'm a bastard.

Have you seen this yet?

I guess the one I've always wondered about is the "make that three hard-boiled eggs" reference, but I can't remember what season it was in-- I think it was in at least a few episodes.

My most favorite moment was your pitch-perfect delivery and reaction to the Obnoxious Fanboy while we were watching vids.

OF: It's Star Wars! DOCTOR WHO! Torchwood! Star Trek! Star Trek again! Star Wars! Torchwood! Uh . . .

MS: Citizen Kane.

. . .

OF: Really?

MS: No.

Thanks again for rescuing me and I'll see you next month.

In just a couple of weeks! I can't wait. It's going to be a shorter visit than last time-- I'm coming in on Saturday afternoon and leaving Sunday before noon-- but we can pack a lot of fun in a couple of hours.

I liked the way he thought Gilda was a Hitchcock film because it was in b&w. Aren't fanboys fun?

Oh! I didn't tell you. The room I rescued you from? The lady must've been really pissed off about it as she cut right in front of me in the registration line for next year without a word. (I think she was hoping to fit another 15 or 16 in there.) It's the little things that made me glad I decided not to sign up for MW 2009 after all.

Oh, geez. I'm sorry. I left a message on the room phone from the front desk the following morning, and e-mailed her when I got back, but no response. (Maybe telephony cannot penetrate the League of Extraordinary Olfactories.) I'll e-mail again, because I honestly didn't mean to offend -- they were asleep and tucked in their beds when we popped in. They would have been disturbed, and I couldn't have watched Mythbusters, which would have been a mythfortune. (zing!)

I don't think you have to apologize, as they seemed concerned mainly with packing as many people in the room as humanly possible. I never would've suggested them if I'd known from the start that our room would have two beds.

Mythbusters! I think our Mythbusters slashfic would be the funniest ever.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Rescue? Something interesting happened and you didn't tell me? I hate you guys.

Oh, it's just a little thing, really. I thought our room would only have one bed based on what we had on the form, so when Caryl-Sue said she was going to be able to come we were thrilled, but we thought we didn't have room for her and told her the Cat People were looking for roomies.

Except that when we got our room we found we had two beds and even better, it looked like the Cat People had them stacked like cordwood in there. Seriously, it was unbelievable. We asked Caryl-Sue to stay with us instead and thus stole about $14 of income from the weirdos, of which I am glad. Next year they'll probably have ppl sleeping in shifts.

Cat people. *shudder*

Puttin' out the fire with gasoline.

Indeed. *organ riff*
