Roses for Gnomes

I traded my racing leathers (and 2nd place in two championships) in against spending a sweet 5 days with some damn good friends. It was worth every penny and a few more besides. I was trying to save money, so I was the Party Room Bitch in exchange for a bed to sleep in. Twas Grand!

Friday: Helped unload and setup the party room for VintaCon. Sweet! The wines were too... vwerry dwunk.

Saturday: Saw two random panels with Tad Williams. Sassy! Helped prepare for the AhwahneeCon bid party. Had to chase the damn furries around the room a few times before they'd stay in place. Shockingly, didn't drink a drop this night.

Sunday: Saw the only two writers track events. Ran home to get costume to help fill in an empty masquerade ballot. Spent hours turning blue, then washed it off again. Won 2 awards for being... well, blue! Started drinking late, saw the dawn. Sang songs at the moon with [livejournal.com profile] johnnyeponymous though I'm sure he won't remember.

Monday: I wanted to play hookie, but I got woken up with customer issues at work and I had to run away and play nice. Returned, had dinner. Got my Evil on, and chased fairies around the moon with much success. Found a kindred Evil soul ([livejournal.com profile] bast_kitten) who had heresofore escaped my notice.

Tuesday: Race back to work. Work had sympathy and let me run away at a reasonable hour so I returned just in time to catch a few beers with [livejournal.com profile] kproche, [livejournal.com profile] bovil, Ajay (artist formerly known as H.Alex...) and Kore. Then [livejournal.com profile] jjustisp joined us in time to visit the MythCon party and sing silly birthday verses in honor of the Dead Gnome.
