Halloween Weekend 2008

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

• Only 93 kids this year.
• Attended ICON 33 on Saturday.
  • Ran into sev­eral peo­ple I hadn’t seen in years, yeah!
  • Arrived after 2 of the extremely few pan­els of inter­est were already over, boo.
  • Got stuck in an AI meet­ing dur­ing which I missed another panel of inter­est, boo.
  • Went to Cath’s author read­ing. She read scenes from Sub­stance of Shad­ows with Milo, yeah!
  • Suc­cess­fully avoided the Ham­mer Hor­ror Vam­pire Babe room party.
  • Attended the Wylde Nept con­cert, yeah!
    • Besides their tra­di­tional stuff, they also per­formed cov­ers of Busi­ness Time, Baby Got Back and Code Mon­key
    • Per­son­ally, I was strongly hop­ing for RE: Your Brains but if they per­formed it, they did it after I’d left.
• Raked the yard on Sun­day and then took deliv­ery of a load of firewood.
  • The load was sup­posed to be a face cord, but I think it was a lit­tle short of that.
  • Also their ver­sion of deliv­ery was to dump the fire­wood in our yard, whereas I’d been hop­ing they were going to stack it for me.
    • As you might well imag­ine my back did not care for stack­ing the fire­wood at all and I’m mov­ing rather stiffly still.
