So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

So in a way this con has been a bit of a disaster
In what way hasn’t it been a bit of a disaster?
remember when Bork con had to deal with a thunderstorm that knocked out the power and a tornado warning delayed the cosplay contest
Or remember the time Shiitake Con folded days before the con, and attendees showed up to an event that never happened?
That one was a good plot although I still wonder if there was a con that actually did that.
Yes, Langland, it’s happened.
In 2006 was Flanvention 2. The company such tens of thousands of more dollars from attendees during the last week prior. And then cancelled on Day 1, didn’t even show up to tell attendees.
I meant to spell “sucked”
So… should I assume I know what’s going to happen in the next strip, and NOT spoil people who don’t see it coming?
I forsee flames. Maybe metaphor flames of rage, perhaps literal flames of arson. Not sure.
