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.

Is this follow-up fall-out from the day before? I’ve known some conventions to bench or take off the floor staff members or volunteers who have drama tied to them; same-said conventions have also black-listed people from volunteering for drama/baggage
It isn’t.
Especially since Sarah wasn’t involved in that situation.
But I betcha Lynn is finding a bit more free time today.
This could be bad…. Sarah hyped up on caffeine and sugar with nothing to do.
I’ve got the popcorn ready 🙂
Eh, Sunday’s are often slow anyway, don’t always need a full staff. So long as everyone still gets invited to the afterparty… and clean-up detail… need lots of folks for that.
Let me know how you motivate your staff members to help with tear-down and clean-up; the ones at my primary con are lazy shits who care much more about free food than getting our stuff back on the truck
No food until cleanup is done. Also, no booze until cleanup is done. Between the two, it’s not bad.
