Wonderful, long, and warm MNSTF meeting at Dean and Laura's yesterday. Pics at: http://public.fotki.com/lsanderson/mnstf/mnstf_meeting_20020720/ I just noticed I didn't get a shot of Laura or of the two together.

Bruce had provided a small tasting menu, finally running home and returning with a baby bottle of Chateau d'Yquem. We obliged him by drinking it.

My bean pate continued to sweat olive oil over the course of the evening. (Note to self: next time, less more olive oil.) The chicken liver mousse also vanished, and just a bit of the pink stuff returned.

I drove Andrew home rather more close to 2:00 a.m. than I'd choose in retrospect. Joe tossed in the towel sometime between 10 and midnight, well before Andrew discovered Laura Jean's stash of gin.

The play at the Illusion Theater started at 7:00. I called to find out when it started at 7:09. Not good timing. I'd sorta assumed it would start at 7:30 or ideally, 8:00. Sigh.
After the Minicon meeting, we finally ran out to reconnoiter the picnic site. Then we wandered down to the falls, back up, and sat in the cafe cooling down. After we got back to Laura Jean's I ran home and grabbed something to eat. Then I called the theater.
Now we're gonna go see Lovely and Amazing at the Lagoon, the movie David wanted to see.
