A weekend review

2:44pm Tuesday 6 May 2008

On the train to Kawasaki with Ami now; I don't have emacs set up fully on this machine, but the battery here is better so I'm using the "new" Powerbook.

Pretty fantastic weekend; two days ago I woulda said Gordon from Kenya most impressed me, seconded by Dana from Houston. Gordon gave gifts to everyone who helped him sell the rest of the gifts he brought form Kenya; I bought a necklace for Ami, and got a shirt for myself. I'm sure UCow's website will have pics that include the shirt, but I don't have pics of Ami wearing the necklace yet.

Yesterday was pretty busy (?) giving out and taking back little radio recievers to hoardes of people going in to Convention Hall B. No real issues there, but some people had difficulty figuing out how to use the receivers, how to know which room to go to, and how to return the receivers when they were done. Out of 600 total, we ended up with 585 at the end of the day (as far as I know). They even made a plea for receivers to be returned at the small (!) reception after the convention.

I loved Gordon's smile and loving giving nature. I loved meeting Op from foundation Movement; his wild hair and equally great smile and downto earth nature were lovely.

Dana sang opera in Houston and has now been in Tokyo for like 5 years and she seemed pretty cool, though I dind't reallly get to talk to her all that much.

Ami and I are leaving Kawasaki; we ate lunch of noodles and melon soda, got a new short sleeve dress shirt for me and took ƒvƒŠƒNƒ‰ pics for us, and a pic of Uncle Cow on the world's shortest escalator.

Speaking of shortest, this little trip was short but it's already 5pm; I slept until noon (Ami until 1 or 2pm) cause I was up until 4am watching John Lear tells all. This morning I was watching a movie by PilotsFor911Truth. I look forward to the truth being released and everyone knowing what happened.
