Saturday was good. Went to Lawrence for KanPoly, stopped by Brits to see my sister-in-law and pick up supplies, then hit the Free State Brewing Co. for some fresh beer before heading home. That evening was the 40th Anniversary Soíree for the Kansas City Science Fiction and Fantasy Society. I had spent Friday night finishing the special edition of the club 'zine for the occasion, and it turned out pretty well, I thought (though I was reminded afterwards I had forgotten to include the first contribution I had received; this will be rectified with the online version). The Board was kind enough to present me with the first ever Tom Reamy Award for Excellence in Science Fiction Endeavors. I was pleasantly surprised, and deeply appreciative of the recognition.
Sunday a bunch of people went to the Royals game. Whilst there, my phone went off. and it was my old buddy Tim Miller, of FenCon. I could almost hear him, and there was some problem with their program book*, and "Help us, Obi-Paisley, you're our only hope!" I told him I would call back when I got home.
( And then began the madness. )
Yes, I am insane. And good. To celebrate, here's some music. I am getting closer and closer to 30K in my iTunes. Thank you again, Parris, for the Shuffle, it has been a brain saver at work.
1) Moanin', Art Blakey
2) Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3) Patent Trolls, Crystal Swells
4) Front Row, Metric
5) Sparkly, Young Magic
6) Menace, Brian Eno
7) Way Down Now, World Party
8) Angels, Black Mountain (10/06/07 Le National Montreal Cananda)
9) The Attitude Song, Steve Vai
10) Tightrope (feat. Big Boi) (Organized Noize Remix), Janelle Monáe
and then some
11) Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing, The Beatles
12) Americano, Leningrad Cowboys
13) Phantom On The Bottom (The Lady Tigra vs. Justice), DJ Paul V.
I must go to a ConQuesT meeting tomorrow to re-acquire the box of books I sent home with John Platt following Renovation, so I know what I don't need to buy at Archon next weekend. Otherwise, after a well over 40 hour week (I am usually doing 28) at work, plus all the other chaos, I hope to do some serious sleeping.
*It should be noted I layed out the FenCon VII program book last year, but I had a whole week to do it.
