I just got back from my long weekend in the Xenaverse. I'll have a wrap up over on AfterEllen.com tomorrow with some new photos... KT is still on her way back, so I don't have the last batch yet.
And then I'll do a somewhat different round-up here, most likely with even more, other, photos.
All in all I had a wonderful time, but any delusions I had that this was a vacation? Like I said, delusions. I worked every minute I was there. I went down there tired, and came home exhausted. All I want to do is sleep, and guess what?
Chat Month on PetHobbyist starts Friday night, with a guest chat with Nathan Winograd, author of "Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No Kill Revolution in America." (Check it out here.)
So not so much with the sleep.
I also had the chance while I was down there to go out with Teresa Ortega from In Sequence. We dashed through the downpour to a little coffee place and talked about Xena, the early years of the fandom and what it's become today, our theories on why the fandom is growing instead of shrinking, and a few million other things, before she made the very long trek out to Burbank to drop me off at my hotel -- in the aforementioned downpour. Thanks, Teresa, and it was a blast! And be sure to check out her post about LOLXena.
In other news, my mom picked me up at the airport and spent the entire ride home ecstatically recapping Ted Kennedy's speech endorsing Barak Obama. I know John Edwards still has her heart, but she's supporting Obama in a big way, and spends most of her free time online, CNN in the background. I think she's spending more time reading dKos than I do.
She's 72, folks. Gotta love my mom.
The dogs missed me. Jeff at PetHobbyist apparently missed me. I wish I thought that Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor were gonna miss me, but probably they're even gladder it's over than I am.
And now, back to work!
