DragonCon....

I have finally finalized my plans for Dragoncon. I know that graculus and xochiquetzl (and, of course, pktheater) will be there, but I'd like to alter my usual strategy of wandering aimlessly hoping to meet people I know among the 25,000 attendees. So, in hopes of increasing the odds, here is my schedule, such as it is:

Albert and I will be driving down on Thursday. We'll be bringing some of my friend Melissa's art, so we'll most likely be hanging around the art show helping her and Todd for at least part of the afternoon. I'll be at the con until Monday morning, then I plan to stay at my sister's Monday night before heading back home Tuesday. (Not sure if I've actually remembered to tell my sister about this part of the plan. Hm. Probably ought to do that.)

It is likely that on most evenings I will be found in the open gaming area, roleplaying. There is a high probability that I will be knitting. I plan to go to at least some of the Stargate panels, and I'll definitely be at Christopher Judge's panels if at all possible. At the moment I'm unaware of any organized gatherings of slashy folk, so if any are in the works I'd be interested.

Shiny New Toys

In other news....

The freezer arrived yesterday and is sitting in quiet splendor at the foot of the bed. Every bedroom should have one. It's very quiet, and so far hasn't tripped any breakers. Here's hoping. The cats are just thrilled that we've gotten them such a nice sunning spot.

I also ended up replacing the food processor, thanks to my mom, and celebrated both new toys by cooking and freezing 12 quarts of spaghetti sauce today. It's not the greatest batch I've ever made, because I didn't get the correct proportion of olives and mushrooms to beef, but it's quite edible and will be a nice quick meal when we don't feel like cooking. I also need to freeze some more bananas for Boo, but that can wait a few days.
