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.

you’d have to sell to every person who walked in the door to turn a profit at that price
I can only assume the guest list includes Stan Lee, Dick Sprang, and Jesus Christ. The convention itself must cater to millionares who are expected to drop a few thousand in the artist alley….
Why is this reminding me of another con, that is NOT a midwest con, that was NOT a first year con, but had some outrageous prices on their artist alley, for their attendance?
And may or may not have put their AA in a damp, moldy garage? (not naming names, of course)
Wasn’t the dealers room AND Artist Alley in that black-mold infested garage?
Either way…I don’t remember the prices specifically. But if memory serves, should be something around the 120 range or something (Still flipping high)
Shesh the artist allies at the con’s down here are the same price and we get 10k plus for most anime con’s!
Even if that includes a membership, that’s hefty indeed.
For what it’s worth, New Englander’s say “wicked” on a constant basis;
