This past weekend was the 4th annual Asheville SF\/Fantasy\/Gaming convention, Revoluti*Con. We had a pretty good turnout, much better than last year and about the same as 2 years ago. Again, attendance dropped off for Sunday. Alex says he will plan for Revoluti*Con 5, but make it a Saturday-only convention.<\/p>\n
Even though they rest of the ConCom pretty much gave me the weekend off from my duties, I still walked myself to death and was exhausted and in mucho pain when I got home Saturday night. I slept a lot, and took some naproxen, and felt better for Sunday… also still felt better when I got home.<\/p>\n
We raised $30 at the fundraiser for AHN. Better than I anticipated. We still have a few items left over, and you never know, we might just sell some of them.<\/p>\n
After the con, Marc picked me up (he already had picked up Beverly) and we talked about the HomeYes Program. We also went to Wally World and picked up a few things and discussed other things to pick up. I gave Beverly one of our wonderful donated blankets, and she and Marc went to get a Net10 cell phone.<\/p>\n
After I got home from that, I watched football, as is my wont on a Sunday afternoon\/evening. When evening approached and deepened, Danny (my current temporary roommate) came home. We went to Ingles (he just bought a clunker van) and finished the grocery shopping.<\/p>\n
Sometime during the football, I checked my email and followed up on some of my forum postings. I had a response for one of the posts, and by the time I was done typing it, it sounded so good that I stole it (well, it IS my writing) and started crafting next month’s article for PaganPages.org (which will be my 15th “monthly” article for them). Sometimes I simply astonish myself, I come up with something that came from within me that I’m sure I have never heard elsewhere and which makes perfect sense. (Be afraid; be VERY afraid. LOL)<\/p>\n
Guess that’s about it… didn’t need to mention my knitting, or my music, or my new hippo cellphone cover… and my parents are home safe from China.<\/p>\n
