Did I say sixteen of me? I'm sorry, we're only one

[sovay]

Punch line: not only did it not rain on the potluck or even as I was making my way there, after an initial access of Tiny Wittgenstein I had a really nice time. My jaw is rather unhappy with me, and my body overall is reminding me that we cannot run all social interactions on cortisol forever, but I had some very nice conversations and pistachio-flour pastries. It was the kind of crowd where my high school slime mold science project counted as a party piece. I only had to bring half a lemon cake home with me.

I should also mention that I have joined the ensemble of the 29th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony; I will be singing in the mini-opera Creatures of Habit. Please come hear me and various other talented people musically incarnate various bad habits in September. I am looking forward immensely.

I'm going to see what happens if I fall over on the couch now.

I'm glad it turned out to be a good time! ^_^

That's great you'll be singing at the Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony. (I loved the Ig Nobel dramatic readings at Readercon.)

I bought my Igs tickets already! Now I have even more reason to go!

It was the kind of crowd where my high school slime mold science project counted as a party piece. NICE. Sounds like my kind of party.

We got quite a storm here! We were one town over, and as we drove home, the roads were covered with a disconcerting amount of leaves and twigs, and then oh look, big downed branches and hey what? Is that a split tree? It turned out 60 mph winds had been through. And we missed it!

That does indeed sound awesome!

I'm going to see what happens if I fall over on the couch now.

And what DID happen?

Huzzah for the Ig Nobels! Tickets are going fast, folks. Just a spattering of seats left that aren't for the King of Sweden or behind pillars. Be there or be heptagonal.
