Best historical costume for my money: balzacq in his zoot suit. Damn, he's good.

Money spent on parking: about $25 due to no in-'n-out and the closest lot was full.

Arg! That's my quota for the weekend. Family stuff, you know.

Boy George... whafuck? Someone's on crack.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

He was pretty drunk.

I didn't get a chance to compliment you on your outfit, but you looked *fabulous*!

You looked smashing, absolutely beautiful.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Awww! :D As did you.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

You were LOVELY - reminded me why blue is my favorite color. :-)

YAY congrats! We couldn't stay for the results because we had to take corvi back to Seattle. (And we were in the Thrifty lot across the way, and it was a damn good thing we had the foresight to leave as early as we did, as it took them a good half hour to find our car.)

Video shot as Hester Prynne?

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Just some people wandering the halls making videos for the masquerade halftime show.

If I'd been more clear-headed and less sleep-deprived, I would've remembered to get you your own key.

'Sokay. You still own my soul. :D

You were radiant in that dress! We should talk sewing at some point.. and do coffee at some point.. I would love to share stories!

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Aww! Coffee is a worderful idea, but I'm carless in Redmond during weekdays, and home with the Wendling weeknights. The best time to catch me is weekend nights.

[julzerator.livejournal.com]

We could catch lunch.. I am car-enabled and work in Bellevue.. which isn't that far for the lunch type thingy. (and I can take long lunches if I want.. as I hardly ever take lunches in the first place)

Let me know!

Cool! Friday is best for me this week -- I get paid Thursday, and 1:00 is better than noon for ducking the crowds. Let's see: within walking distance of me are Typhoon (a reasonable Thai joint); Ooba's (cheap but surprisingly good Mexican); Victor's (indie coffee joint that serves sandwiches); and the usual innumerable teriyaki joints.

I'm sorry to have to do this, but I have to go to the doc's today for my evil cough from the con crud. I might have to get on the anti-biotics and such.

Can we re-schedule for a week?

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Same time, same place, next week? Sure.
