dewlineWell, that was fun while I was there. I got to say "hi" to over a dozen people, old friends and new acquaintances alike. Pigged out on assorted snacks, some healthier than others. My thanks to the person responsible for the veggie tray in particular!
As to LJ friendlisters in particular, I said "hello" to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bunsen_h and fajrdrako and got started on a sketch of Cyclops - using the Jim Lee uniform design from 1992 - that will hopefully end up adorning both this LJ and her apartment wall in due course.
(Of course, I have sketches due to assorted younger relatives that take some degree of priority over that. Need to do some research on the Malevolence from Star Wars: the Clone Wars and the title characters of Angry Birds ASAP on that score...)
Also, in conversing withbunsen_h and other mutual acquaintances, I'm pleased to note that seanan_mcguire's authorial names - both of them - came up in conversation and the context was one of general satisfaction with her work.
One gaffe on my part: I promised posted instructions on how to get buzzed into the party venue over at meetup.com...and they didn't get posted. At least one person arrived at the front door and did not see the instructions promised, and as a result drove off with some degree of justly earned anger. I've already apologized for that, and we're going to have remedy things for next year's edition, as well as any other event similarly hosted.
I will note also, though, that we have phone numbers posted for several of our executive and appointed officers at ottawasfs.ca. Should we feel honour-bound by word given to any host volunteering their residence or facilities to us not to give out their contact info publicly, I'd suggest checking the ottawasfs.ca contact page for those phone numbers ahead of the scheduled date. We'll do our best to keep them updated.
