We had a lot of fun at Shoreleave.
Mystery Trekkie Theater went over very well. The episode that was being lampooned was Sub Rosa. I was proud that Mike, Bob, and Peter did the fight choreography I created correctly and no one got hurt.
Caroline had her friend Pixie with her for a majority of the weekend and they had a lot of fun building pillow forts and running around the convention together. Also Ariel and her fiancé joined us so Caroline was able to spend time with her.
I had panels and talked about various subjects as did Peter. I signed a couple of things that I had written during the weekend, which is happening more often. Peter signed a lot of stuff and made people happy. I spent time talking to friends but not as much as I would like. I judged the Masquerade with four other lovely folks. And I got part one of a present for my friends Jeff and Angelo and, with luck, set up part two. We’ll see how that goes.
Trip down was made more interesting by a gas leak that shut down the New Jersey Turnpike stranding us for a time at a rest stop in the frozen zone. Trip back was a lot of maneuvering to avoid the parking lots we are calling highways and parkways around here. Between construction and accidents, it was a journey that took twice as long than it should.
So that was Shoreleave.
Next up the big one for me every year that being DragonCon.
I have 10 puppets for the Art Show and 5 for the Puppetslam which Peter and I sorted out in the car and we have our A game plan and our B game plan with C as a back-up. This will be different from anything I have done at puppetslam before.
So today is all about recovering the house from Shoreleave and then I am off to puppet land for the next couple of weeks. For the Art Show I am making Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson a number of times. It will make sense at DragonCon.
I got my tentative schedule from the convention and I am doing some interesting panels and judging the Friday Night Workmanship contest. There is one panel that I am positively giddy about but more on that closer to the convention.
I am grateful for conventions where I have fun.
