GLEE! Indulgence!

All that fun stuff. Went to Convergence XIII today. More accurately went to the dealer's room, not the con. No laminate required to go in and spend money. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab was there with four Convergence-only scents, one only available if you'd gone to a fashion show the night before and gotten a card. Fortunately I didn't love that one. I loved two of the other three and liked the third. And rather a lot else. Um. Yeah. I bought bottles. I went back for two more later on, too.

I bought enough bottles that I got a double-handful of frimps - 29, counting both batches (the second was maybe 4-ish), as it happened. Frankly, I scare me.

Then headed up to Powell's where I, ah, spent some time. And some money. Then wandered over to the park blocks, sat down, and read until about 6:15 when I headed up to Ringler's Pub (a McMenamin's location) for the meet'n'sniff. This was a blast - I got to meet a ton of people I might not have otherwise, and I also got to meet [livejournal.com profile] solcita. I knew she'd be there and was looking forward to meeting her, but it was especially funny because I came in the door and she was already there and nearly right in front of me. I walked over, waited a moment, and she recognized me. So, so cool to meet her.

The Labbies were there in spite of a very long day vending beforehand. They handed out imps labelled Ah'Duno. Don't ask me what's in it, because Ah'Duno! Dragon's blood, I'm confident of. What else I'm not sure. It's nice and the name is highly amusing. ([livejournal.com profile] solcita apparently got the story from Beth, which is over in her LJ. I didn't hear that bit until I got home tonight and read it. :)

When I got home, my Blue Moon order was here. Squee! Though I think my poor nose is overwhelmed right now!

Also, on my previous voicepost, SpinVox transcribed "bag full of books" as "bag full of Bush". For anyone who saw that, I did NOT have a bag full of Bush. Sheesh.

It was fabulous to meet you, I'm so glad you were there!
