Daily Doings at the Line of Death Bar & Grill

I'll try to keep things short. I no longer have gobs of time to do rambling posts, and many of you don't have time to read such posts. So I'll whittle it down to several bullet points.

Happy memories:
* Bringing athenawindsong to her first filk con and first OVFF
* Seeing lots of my LJ-friends in person
* The foresight of one of the attendees -- I heard it was akawil -- who brought green LJ ribbons to affix to our badges
* Giving a clarinet lesson to daisy_knotwise, which got interesting when Katie tried to climb over Mommy
* Chamberfilk, which I thought came together nicely despite the limited number of instrumentalists
* Meeting (and later LJ-friending) beige_alert, hms42, and GoHs micktim and stevieannie
* The concerts I attended
* The conversations and the food in the con suite -- thank you Nick!
* The Interfilk auction -- always a fun time, especially when the Wenches are... um... deployed ;-)

Not-so-happy memories:
* Not spending enough face-time chatting with the LJ-friends I have
* Not meeting more people (and potential LJ-friends) -- despite the LJ ribbons, people didn't come up to me and introduce themselves*
* Having to miss all of Sunday at the con (because I was on daddy duty that day)

*This has historically been a sore point of mine. When people don't say hello to me, I take it as a sign of rejection. But after talking it over with athenawindsong, it seems that that's my projection. Maybe people aren't as extroverted as myself. Or they're too busy with their own lives and agendas. Or they simply don't remember me from year to year. What does this mirror for me? That I am still shy and introverted, that I often don't say hello to people. So if you're an LJ-friend of mine, and I didn't say hi to you at the con, I apologize.
