The Weekend That Was
Jan. 16th, 2007 11:07 pmDrove up to Arisia on Friday. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
suecochran called me when i was in Connecticut, at Exit 25 on I-95. Oddly, that's where she and her carload were, too. She had peacespear, nancylebov, and her son with her. I'm so glad that persis kindly bought memberships for the 4 of us, other than Nancy, else we might not have gotten in under the attendance cap.
( The journey up - uneventful until Cambridge )
I at long last got to meetpalmwiz, which was a big happy! :D Unfortunately, we did not get to hang at all. I'm probably coming up for Boskone, hopefully we can hang some then. I also got to have a meal with prettypammie, happypete, and Quinn, which was nice. It struck me in chatting with them that i live as close to them as i do to my family, so i hopefully will see more of them now that i understand that they're not as far as VA 7 and VA 9 make it feel.
I had a nice, low-key time at the con. Spent a spot of time withvoltbang and chelona, too. The hotel layout was a but wack, especially the tiny little staircase between floors 2 and 3, but the hotel staff were troopers, and fixed the broken elevator promptly, and helped us make sure we didn't break the other 2. Next year, i think they'll make sure all 4 are in tip-top shape before we get there, and we'll be more mindful of load limits.
( Sunday - dining, shopping, and horse action figures )
On arrival at Mary Chungs, ran intoscruffycritter, mobmama and their party. Then, while both our parties were there, in walks badmagic! I was in Cambridge, MA, dining in a restaurant full of people from the DC-Philly corridor, very odd.
After dinner, dessert at Toscanini's, another Cambridge shop i dearly miss shopping at.
( Monday - the 16-hour drive home )Long and short of it, i got home at 03:30. I took today off, too.
