Went to Capricon and saw a good percentage of my friends list and added 2 new folks and . and I met on a panel about Lj and blogging and found that we knew tons of folks in common – people from all over fandom and on both this userid and my more fannish one. and I ended up chatting a bit at some of the music programming and while hanging out in the radio station. But mostly it was a really musical weekend for me. The funny thing is that i went not even sure I was going to [...]

2 Part post – Cheryl Wheeler is a wonderful folk musician and will be playing at Martyr’s on Sunday Oct. 2 at 7:30 – Evan and I are planning to go, and would love it if others would join us.

I f*ing hate insomnia . . . and it extra sucks when you are sick. That being said – Friday and I went out with and for dinner and a movie. We ended up seeing Hitch.
