Monday, Monay
Mar. 12th, 2012 09:19 amIt's a rainy gray Monday. My big plans for the day is to get a good start on the copy-edited manuscript for PRECINCT 13 (aka the cow mutilation mystery) and then meet a Facebook friend for coffee and talks about publishing.
You?
MarsCON was lovely. It was great to see you all there (and I missed all y'all who couldn't make it.) I managed to spend much of the weekend talking about something other than Bleach, if you can believe that, although I did wear my new "Nice Vibes" tee-shirt that I made (based on one Ichigo wears, though, technically, I believe his is pink.) Probably my best panel was the "Urban Fantasy" one in which I apparently confessed that vampires made me gay. I'm only not sure what I said because I Haddayr bought me a mocha, and I was pretty hopped up on caffeine at the time.
I think the next most favorite thing I did was dance. I really love dancing. It's something I used to do a lot more when I was single, of course, and could go clubbing. MarsCON actually had a really nice room set up for dancing and a bunch of us went for it while the masquerade happened. Turned out? I was also SUPPOSED to be on a panel at that same time, but I misread my badge. Anton told me that this will never happen at CONvergence because he'll be in charge of me; I admitted that this is probably a good thing.
Mason thought that I'd gone off to Anime Detour and was really bummed that I didn't come back with an autograph from the dubbed voice of Aizen, but he was charmed by the Gin Ichimaru stamp that my friend Anna gave me. It stamps a three in Kanji! (Three is the number of the company/division Ichimaru is captain of.) So there was some discussion of my newest obsession, and I brought in my fan art on Saturday and was able to donate a piece of it to the auction for Anime Detour (thought why anyone would want it, I'm not sure. It's not even half-naked Renji!)
So, it was a good time. I made some new friends, saw one of my old friends in his full Darth Maul outfit, and got to dance. What's not to love??
