Twisted Monk finally posted video of his suspension scene from the Columbia City Cabaret. Enjoy!

Yes, I made it home safe. Cab fare less than $20, even with tip.

Yes, I had a good time. Thank you, Kat!

List will iterate. I'm sure I missed things with this pass.

Looks like Curio Confections took care of the hospitality suite for SteamCon this year. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to explore getting a sponsor for Norwescon hospitality?

I have a VERY small batch of Fish House Punch in a pitcher in the fridge today. People who come over for game or other reasons today are welcome to partake.

I recommend small portions. This doesn't follow the "1-2-3-4-5" ratios we learned from Good Eats, and will kill you.

Collect final guest list after RSVP deadline of October 15
( plan )
... and I'm sure I missed something.

Who wants to go see it Sunday?

Yes, it's been a long time.

We have the latest Underworld train-wreck from netflix. Does anybody want to come over and mock it with us Friday evening?

(cross-posted from Twitter, which feeds into the abomination known as Facebook. I don't do this often)

Anybody wan to join me for lunch Sunday?

No game today.

Marci and the other Sean have a housewarming party tommorrow from 1 to 7. This overlaps with the time I usually run game.

So, do people want to:
a) Drop game for this session, and meet up in two more weeks?
b) Cut out from Marci and Sean's a little early (5ish?) for a short game session?

Kyna's not interested, and I haven't seen it yet. Is anybody up for a matinee showing today?

Update: 1:40 PM at the Meridian 16

At dinner tonight, some of my friends were threatening to drop me on one "or more" social networks due to excessive crossposting. This confused me.

I've just verified my settings and double checked my archive page, and I still don't get this claim.

Here's my current setup (largely because I despise Facebook and try to avoid interacting directly with the damn thing):
public Livejournal posts -> Facebook notes
tweets -> Facebook status updates
Google Reader shared articles -> Facebook (although my comments are stripped off)

There's also some stuff on tumblr and friendfeed, but I don't think anybody is significantly using those platforms.

If you are following me on one of those three "real" services and following me on Facebook then you will see duplication. If you see any more duplication than that, let me know.

Tattoo appointment at 2:30. I'll probably be there about 3 hours.

Since Kyna has skating practice this evening, we'll be making it down to Tacoma separately (both late), but riding home together. After I finish up with Nando, I'll catch the ST #594 to Tacoma, and (depending on the time) call Kyna and/or people at fireballof3's birthday gaming extravaganza to see about a pickup (probably 6:30-7:00 PM). If neither option is available, I'll just catch a Pierce Transit #2 up the hill.

Wednesday 6:30 Georgetown Liquor Company. You'll be there, right?

1 day: Gothic Charm School book signing.
2 days: Georgetown Pub Grub Crawl. COME EAT AND DRINK WITH US!
11 days: More tattoo work, game night in Tacoma
12 days: Cody's birthday dinner
13 days: game
17 days: I can retake my Japanese placement test.
26 days: Light Rail opens
27 days: game
29 days: Leave for Comic-con
