Home safe! I had a marvelous time at Worldcon, and really enjoyed meeting those I hadn't met before, and seeing those I had again!

Remember, if I've missed anything you'd like me to know, leave a comment -- there's no way I'll be able to catch up.

Glad you're back safely and had a good time. I'm back from my trip, too, but heading out Friday for Minnesota.

It was nice meeting you, too! You may or may not remember me, given how many people you probably met there. One of these days I have to see what you look like without the Mickey Mouse ears.

[nolly.livejournal.com]

I do remember meeting you, though I had to look at your userinfo to connect LJ name to offline name!

[postrophe.livejournal.com]

Great seeing you again, however briefly... and that's a great pic!

[nolly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was good to see you, too! foxgrrl took that picture at Baycon this year; it's the most recent one I have as an icon. This one is from last October.

I'm glad we got to meet up! And dinner was great. Alas that I had to go to bed so early :(

[nolly.livejournal.com]

We'll have to do it again sometime...if only someone would get around to building a reliable teleporter. I'm thinking about going to NASFiC next year...

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

That or cheap enough airfares that make weekends in California do-able (I *am* that insane, you know)

NASFiC is a thought; I'm still hoping for Nippon07 though.

[nolly.livejournal.com]

Well, NASFiC and Nippon are about a month apart, so it is possible to embrace the power of "and"...

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

Possible physically, yes.

When I read this, however, my wallet squealed in pain and ran to hide under the papers at the corner of my desk, whimpering.

[nolly.livejournal.com]

Aw, poor wallet! Most wallets like NASFiC better than Yokohama, though...mine certainly does.

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

Oh, certainly.

But I-wanna-go-to-Japan!

[nolly.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I know. I kinda do, too. But unless I get a winning lottery ticket for my birthday, it's probably not going to happen.

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know that feeling. And it would be my ONE con for the year, if I did.

[nolly.livejournal.com]

I'd be leaving a lot of good friends in the lurch if I only did one con in a year. In fact, I'm already inked in for one and penciled in for at least two more.

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah.

And I could still do some, but I'd get there late (so, Friday night for FKO and OVFF and GaFilk and Conterpoint).

I'm not worried about getting in late to Philcon or Lunacon ;)

[nolly.livejournal.com]

It's this silly conrunning thing I do...I usually need to be there on time or even early.

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know the feeling. Thankfully, I only run SMALL parts of cons, but that's by choice.

[nolly.livejournal.com]

I tend to land in Reg, Info, or Volunteers; I've done Dealers, Parties/Fan Tables/Autographing, Prog Ops staff, and Newsletter staff, and I'm Tech Ops for the upcoming LosCon. Mostly, these are for small to midsize cons, though.

Rumor has it that you were among a group of folks seen running around WorldCon wearing pirate Mouse ears, which just made me giggle. If photos exist, consider sending me one to add to the Talk Like A Pirate Day Flickr gallery!

[nolly.livejournal.com]

Pictures were taken, but the only one I currently have is very dark; even after some impage processing, it's not that clear.

Yarn

[supersniffles.livejournal.com]

Hey!! I checked my stash again. Is this it? It is fingering weight and pompadour...

Re: Yarn

[nolly.livejournal.com]

That looks like it, yeah! Wanna swap? I'm not sure I have any pink other than antique acrylic worsted...might have some wool, though, and I've lots of other colors and fibers...

Re: Yarn

[supersniffles.livejournal.com]

I'll just send it to you. Email me your addy. super_sniffles AT yahho.

Re: Yarn

[nolly.livejournal.com]

It arrived today. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a heavier weight than the one I need. Maybe mine's actually lighter than fingering...

Re: Yarn

[supersniffles.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Darn! I was hoping it would work.
