new york state of mind

[entelein]

I am home, after many delays. I did not get to call non-ARG people during the weekend, so I apologize for not being able to connect with them. A lot of my time was spent trying to coordinate getting from Washington Heights to Penn Station over the course of four days, so I didn't end up having much slush time.

Mom drove me in from the airport in her nice air conditioned car, and gave me a bag with the most recent Gourmet magazine, a few slices of cheesecake, and two cucumbers from her garden. She bought extra water bowls for the cats, and left cash on my kitchen table because she felt bad for turning on the A/C, because we actually went into heat emergency here in Chicago while I was gone. She's so goofy.

I feel sad, and I dunno. I think I had a really, really good weekend. I was so nervous, though, and worried. I wonder if other people had a good time, you know? So many people I FINALLY met, after so many years. We have a history. We've all been through so much, as a community of gamers/fiction lovers/puzzlers. This felt good, to get some more anchors in place, because we are likely in for some high tide of interest in the genre, the way things are going.

leaving people you're that connected to is always hard...

To this I say YAY!

And welcome home.

Thanks, Wolf. Your presence was totally missed. We need to hang out again sometime soon, yeah?

In the meantime, we'll do our usual conspiring and sekrit-making. :)

We had an invite to come up for Jamey and Dave's (from dinner at Gino's) 10th anniversary party in August but we have to keep weekends clear for now 'cause Terry's mom is moving into a smaller place since dad died. She's already bought the house, so we'll be going back to St L soon to help with the move. Otherwise, I'd say "what are you doing on August 13?"

And I *so* wanted to be there doing the panel with you guys. I heart NYC anyway.

Aw shucks

I was just thinking this past weekend, "Hey, isn't Krystyn coming to NYC soon?" I've had my head up my ass so much lately with work, I could not remember when it was. Alas, you have come and gone. Sorry to have missed you, but I totally understand about not having spare time. Sounds like your trip was pretty hectic. Next time!
