Seven lonely days and a dozen times ago I reached out one night and you were gone. Don't know why

Worldcon question: who from outside North America is going to

inter_action, and would like to play with some ribbons?

I thought it might be interesting to bring some silly ribbons and have other people hand them out.

flickgc,

flyingsauce,

sneerpout and all the rest of you: whaddya say?

I've got a particular style set aside for Lucy Z. and/or Zara B., since it was their idea in the first place, and I was thinking that Alice Lawson might want to hand out the "Sunnydale Visitors Bureau." And I'll drop off "2nd Generation Fan" (3rd, 4th) with

jamesb for his department. But that still leaves a number of others to share. Any UK or european filkers in the audience, for example?

Speaking of sharing, I'm bringing some Kentucky Bourbon Fudge to share. (Hence the song referenced above.) Made by genuine Trappist monks, in fact. Stop me and ask for a bit.

Server update:

dd_b says it looks like a drive controller failure that took everything down. Recovery looks promising for most of the site, although there's still some uncertainty about my twenty-eight kilophotos. In other news, www.lasfs.org is back on the air, having been relocated to Scott Beckstead's server, and for the time being www.loscon.org goes to the same web page. And I'm going ahead with signing up with Dreamhost to host some websites I'm in charge of, like the Fan Gallery and

animelosangeles. (Which are both sponsored by organizations that have a budget.) Funny thing about Dreamhost -- they're local, about five miles from my house. (

dd_b, I put down "dd-b" in the referral space.)

I'll be very pleased to be the bearer of Pervy ribbons.

Me too!

You doing any Hogwarts Alumni ones this year? Cos, having posted more on my LJ about HP than anything else, and organising a Purely Potter Party, I can't see anyone better suited to give them out...

I've never done a "Hogwarts Alumni", actually. Must be someone else.

Chaz

I think you were the one who gave me it, but it must have been done by someone else at Torcon, as it's got the Torcon logo on it.

So -- wanna do a Hogwarts alumnus run? ;-)

They might have handed them out at N4 at the T3 thank-you party...

Do you want something HP-related instead of joining

zarabee with the Pervy project? I might be able to accommodate you...

Yeah, why not? Though Zara needs to point out that I was a founder Pervy...

Well. pick one:

PERVY
MUGGLE
SQUIB

Muggle, please! Or Filthy Mudblood...

Sorry, but I'm not going to be there! (I don't like Worldcons at all :oP)

Good luck with the ribbons idea - and my fingers remain crossed for your photos.

BTW, yes I will DJ for Anime LA 2. :)

Thank you very much. I take it you got my note...

:)

I'm quite happy to do ribbons!

I'm newsletter party reporter, if it makes any difference.

Ah. Want to hand out "Party Host" ribbons as you go along your route?

I can certainly do so, but it's not a requirement if you'd rather do so yourself!

Actually, until you brought up the subject of party reporting, I was going to leave the "Party Host" ribbons at home.

But if you'd prefer one of the other styles -- see my other post, below -- or "Glomp Me!", for that matter -- it's not too late to make up your mind.

Chaz

Ah, ok then!

Yes, Party Host is fine.

Done. I just put 80 in my luggage. (Kurt Baty gave away 60 last year, so that should be plenty)

Yup to ribbons. Catch you there.

Here are some of the ones that I'll have...

Fan Boy, Fan Girl, Silly Ribbon, Evil Smof, Good Smof, Friends of Tux, Gender Outlaw, Straight but not Narrow, Flexible, Vanilla Pride, Hot Bi-Polar Babe, Immortalized in Song, Tuckerized, Jailbait, Live Journal, Sourpuss and Crankyface, Browncoat.

Just a few of these: First Church of Roscoe, Foofooist, Seekers of Ghu, Old Phart.

Plus a few others; I'm looking for a Scot (Sparks, are you listening?) or anyone involved with Interthingy.org, and I've got "Ribbon Slut" but those will probably be handed out late in the game...

Sparks isn't on LJ, but there are a few other Scot fans around, like pickwick and surliminal. Not to mention munchkinstein, who's one of the mad Convivial mob.

Send them my way... I've got a ribbon that should be handed out either by one of Those Bastards from interthingy.org, or by a Scot. Or both.

Chaz

I am all a quiver as to what to reply to first. Should it be the suggestion that I am part of a mob? Or perhaps an enquiry as what this ribbon thingy is? Or is that tantamount to volunteering for something which, Reductio aside, I was doing so well at? Or perhaps I should enquire as to Kentucky Bourbon Fudge as made by Trappist Monks? It all starts so badly but ends so well I really don't know what to think.

Well, see, there's this "Clan Thyngye" mentioned on interthingy.org. Want to go around identifying members of Clan Thyngye?

Trappist Monks: The Abbey of Gethsemani, in Kentucky (Trappist, Kentucky, in fact; it's near Elizabethtown, which is near a major junction of two freeways) is home to about a hundred monks, that do the traditional monk thing.

Among those, they work to make things that they can sell to the outside world. Like cheese, for example. But they won't ship the cheese during the summer -- if you want Trappist Cheese from Kentucky, you have to wait, or go there yourself.

They also use some local bourbon (they don't say exactly which whiskey, but the nearest major distillery is Maker's Mark) in their fruitcake, which is very moist and I'm told quite delicious. But I'm not a big fruitcake fan... And they make fudge. Chocolate fudge with walnuts, and vanilla fudge with pecans (or maybe it's the other way around), and both flavored with bourbon.

Nummy stuff. Delicious. I Want to have some, but my doctor won't want me eating the whole box. Therefore I'll bring some to share. (Possibly to use as bread-and-butter gifts if we end up staying in someone's guest room, like Sue Mason's for example.)

I'm very impressed with that Clan Thingy thing. So to speak. Provided I get to meet the Whisky Thyngyes I could happily do the ribbon thing(y).

So... who are you, so I can have someone point you out at the convention?

Chaz

Ah, the difficult questions. I will appear on the convention role as Munchkin but, other than Friday's play, I am not obviously in any one place at the one time. Lucy Z. can spot me in a crowded room and my girlfriend is helping her with the Gopher Hole early on the Thursday so we could probably arrange some meeting around there in the first instance. That or a bar which I am distinctly not averse to. ;-)

can you send me some of this fudge? It sounds absolutely wonderful.
Maria

We could do that -- we have a care package to ship to you as soon as we can get a shipping address to send it to. (Hint, hint.)

Also did you get the message about http://www.maria-rodriguez.com/ being back on the air?

Or is that misplaced?

Anyways, this reminds me to talk to you about replenishing my ribbon supply. I "need"[*] more by either LosCon or SiliCon. No biggie if I don't have them by NASFiC; I'm not doing EitE activities there...

Z

P.S.: * -- Hah.

"When you make an assumption, you make an ASS out of U and MPTION." (from Long Kiss Goodnight)

We'll be in UK for two and a half weeks. We'll be back in California for 14 days, then off to Seattle for NASFiC.

I'll probably put in an order while I'm back. Get me your info by 19 August.

I "need" 300 of the fans/friends color. Still got enough of the cast/crew coloration to hold me for a while. ;-D

Hey, look, it's well before August 19th -- and I'm still me! %-}

Thanx!!!

Z

P.S.: Do you happen to know anybody who needs to split a NASFiC room?

I'm not going to put a ribbon order in this month, so I'll deal with it in September or October.

Split a room... maybe...
