Ran out to hear Anthony Bourdain at a bookstore last night. Karen saved me a seat, and we grabbed one for Laura. Spent about ten minutes trying to find a parking space over by the dome. Sucks. Stupid city meters off in the boonies.

Then Laura and I worked on a shopping list for Capricon. Until midnight. I was sucking down Campari/tonic/OJ and she was doing Gin/tonic. I won't have any flat tonic bottles! Yeah! We found out the state fair had only twenty things on a stick, and we think we can do more, in fact, I think our shopping list has more possibilities. Well, maybe.

Um, actually 28 foods on a stick. We aren't doing the state fair thing again this year, are we? That's so 2000 or 2001.

The party theme for Capricon is When Weirds Collide. <grump-mode>Which you'd know if you were to look at the frickin' web site.</grump-mode> There I'm all better now.

Laurel is referencing a very bad line I used on the Fabulous Lorraine in the Hilton bar last year (one year ago? -- bad lines never go away, they just keep stinking worse) about the Flash Girls at Minicon (they played at CONvergence in St. Paul a year plus ago now) "So last year." I said. We fled shortly afterwards, covered in shame. Laurel, Drewan and I all beat a hasty retreat. My ears still turn red thinking about it... I almost lost my Gay Punch Line card over that incident.

But, it's high Mardi Gras, what else could we do? Hellium blimps, balloons, rubber duckies, peeps, and beads before the dreaded Ash Wednesday.

Okay folks calm down. It's just a party. We're only reuseing the theme for Capricon not Minicon. I think Larry and I came up with at least thirty delectable food items "Stick a fork in there ass turn 'um over, they're done." -Lou Reed
Including but not excluding Hormel meat product. I believe we have all for food groups represented in our menu, plus desert. Really you could just skip dinner and come to our party and gorge yourself on stick items, but please don't swallow you're stick. Obviously I should be in bed.
