The first ten people who comment on my journal will be featured in one of my next journals. I will pick three of your pictures I like the most and show them in my journal. It'll be fun!!

Note: When you get featured you have to do the same thing. It´s nothing big, so come on, it'll be no problem for you to share the joy.

Well, we're only 2 weeks (and a few days) away from the convention, and things are starting to gear up. The programming's really starting to fall into place, thanks to a few pots of coffee and some creative shuffling by our Programming Director. We've got a good mix of offerings this year, including some hands-on workshops, discussion panels, social gatherings and instructional demos.

Our Weapons Panel is back once more, with a few new additions this year, and the chocolate social looks to be an even bigger sugar rush on friday night.

We've got some absolutely great guests this year, including Mark Oakley, of Thieves and Kings fame, Julie Czerneda, a noteworthy (and inspiring) author in the Sci-fi genre with a keen sense of character and humor, and last but certainly not least, MissMonster Mel, whose costumes and sculpture are simply breathtaking. I'm already working out my weekend, so I can attend their panels.

Our Art show and Dealers rooms are filling out nicely, though there's still some space left. Returning favorites (allow me a fan moment here) include:

*Hbruton
~hollyann
~auroralockwood
~nalina
....and those are just people off my friends list!

So yeah. My brain's going all nervous and bouncy, but it's coming together.

I have an update, but it's 3 am and I'm too tired to think right now, so I'll put them up after work tomorrow.

There's 27 of them, so I'll likely go in 2-3 batches, so as not to totally flood people.

Also, I must get more bags to package these things in. I apparently only had 50 on hand, and there's 30 more pieces to get packd up. Yay!

I'm getting back to normal.

Thestudying's overwith, and that in itself is a long annoying story, but the end result is, things are alright.

I'm going to college in the fall, for my Vet tech certification. Got the paperwork in, and things are rolling.

The art convention is moving along. I've got my client's pieces in the mail today, so that's all good. Got the forms for another, so that's better.
I'm sorting through my own things, seeing what I want to bring to sell in the auction. There's some pieces that will hardly see outside the inventoy box (Cause I'm less than leased with them) but there's a decent number here that I like enough to sell.

Also, I picked up about 10-12 more stones, including some Picasso Jasper and a delightful uncut/rough emerald cluster. Happy!

Mom's stopped bugging me about not going on a trip with her in June (impossible to get time off, we're beyond short staffed, as evidenced by morgan having to work a double shift on saturday, when I had the day off for my test, and me being alone yesterday, when Morgan had her nephew's christening to go to.) There's 3 of us, two of them in highschool, and optimally, there should be 5-7, so that people can book days off without it being a huge production.

Oh well. We move on.

Getting back into chainmail (actually, have to make an order from my supplier within the week) cause I'm doing a demo/workshop in the end of June. Also means I've got to hunt out pliers. Lossa pliers

You -might- get an update tonight. It depends how late I get home, really. The restaurant's open an extra hour, and I'm closing tonight, so I don't get home 'til nearly tomorrow

But we'll see. There's some pieces to photograph, so I'll do my best.
