Best historical costume for my money: [livejournal.com profile] balzacq in his zoot suit. Damn, he's good.

Money spent in the dealers' room: $10, which was a good thing because...

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

Best surprise: running into [livejournal.com profile] gement.

Best non-surprise: runnning into [livejournal.com profile] intrepid_reason.

Peeps seen: good heavens. About 2/3 of my friends list.

New owner of my soul: [livejournal.com profile] loree, for letting me into & out of her room umpteen gazillion times yesterday.

This morning: killed hundreds of little yellow mofos, i.e., dandelions.

Right now: collapse in bed.

To do: get a room at some future NWC. Commuting is crazy.

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?

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