Saturday morning I met Harris and Kim ever so briefly at DragonCon before they went off to breakfast at Thumbs Up. I stayed at Dragoncon an hour or more walking around looking at the conventioners and booths before I had to eat and dose myself with caffeine. The artwork didn't impress me this year as much as in year's past but the other products were incredible. Lots of fun games, costumes and other accoutrements. The people there are always the very best part and they were fabulous, as usual.
Sunday was spent at Drive-Invasion with The Women and men. Chaz had the cami-top and astroturf on the pickup. Grrrcth & Kurt brought the grill and lawn chairs and tiki torch. The nice boy and I brought lots of ice (you can never have too much while baking in the parking lot all day) and snacky bits in his GTO. We watched and listened to performances by Gravy Bowl and The Woggles and Clouseaux. The Woggles now have Jeff from Hillbilly Frankenstein on guitar. Clouseaux has Alice, another former Hillbilly Frankenstein member. It was a groovy evening.
Kim started nodding off during Rock & Roll highschool and husband put her in the car to snooze, which was fine until fireworks shell fell through the sunroof (no harm done, but the shells were warm and stinky- enough to wake her up). Perhaps they should try harder to shoot over the woods? The rockets were shot off intentionally at certain points in the cartoon and movie - the largest display being at the end when the school is blown up.
