Kevin's Watch

*snort*

I was merely the photographer...

Well, I think Pier Giorgio is still floating about New England somewhere, tipping cows and drinking cider and trying to get thayah from heeyah. And so that's why he hasn't chimed in yet. But I thought perhaps someone should say something by now ...

Xar-fest '10 did happen. Erin (Brinn), Pier Giorgio (Xar), and I met up at the Grill, where many a raw oyster then met their doom. We discussed world travel and being a biologist and books. Erin never once mentioned modern monetary theory, but he demonstrated it nicely by paying for our dinner. On the other hand, Pier Giorgio did demonstrate the cybernetic tail he developed in his lab, in a way that the waitress will probably never forget.

Oh my...
Please tell me there are pictures of this..?

Maybe we can get a re-enactment out of him while he's in New York!

Cybernetic tail...
What will Xar come up with next?
He is such a wag!

Damn. Sorry I missed it. But like I predicted, getting away from the house is a once in a blue moon occurrence for me.

Fun time. Thanks to Wayfriend and Xar for an enjoyable evening!

P.S.
Name's actually Erin not Aaron. Just a detail!

P.P.S.
Got to get a hold of some of the books you guys mentioned! I need reading material.

Doh! My apologies ... shoulda asked. Post corrected.

No hard feelings.

Very cool that you guys met! Xar's list for the Who's met Who thread is growing.

I don't know the train schedule, so I can't be exact, but I'll arrive at GCS between 9 and 10 Friday morning. I'll go right to Xar's hotel.

That sounds familiar.

Oh hooray! Wasn't 100% sure if you were coming Friday or not.

I'm taking the tres cheap bus from DC up to NYC Thursday night, and staying at lorin's overnight. Just got a reassurance from her today via Facebook that she is indeed going to pick me up at the bus stop. No idea yet when we'll get into the city. Fist, if you think of it, pm or text me Xar's hotel info -- thanks!

I got back an hour or so ago. Had a fantastic time hanging out with aliantha, lorin, Menolly, and Xar. lorin is a new name for me to add to my list, and I'm thoroughly delighted to do so. She's every bit as great a person in rl as she is here.

Ditto to what Fist said. Great time yesterday with the guys. We walked around Manhattan, spotted Vincent D'Onofrio (sp?) at Borders, and stumbled across a great Turkish restaurant for lunch. Then Fist wanted dessert, so we walked to Grand Central Station to find a bakery. Photographic evidence of the results to come, if it hasn't already been posted in the album.

And another great time today with lorin and Menolly. Lorin and Helldog introduced me to the wonders of Sandy Hook National Park this morning. Then we drove into the city and saw "Time Stands Still" with Laura Linney, Eric Bogosian, Christina Ricci, and another actor who has apparently only done theater so I didn't recognize him. Anyway, then we had great Chinese food. And now I'm back on the cheap bus and headed home.

Fist, I got your text late last night but my phone died. I'll have to check out your suggestion when I get home..

Hmmm. I see in the fest photos lorin posted to the album that someone did wear one of these to the Xarfest this weekend.

Glad to see you posted from the bus, ali!
Safe journey home and have fun with Jenn and Creator!
