Right, one last real post before I fall down the rabbit hole…
The weekend started with a bang as takaza and I met some of the western suburbs crowds for drinks and dinner at The Bank in Wheaton. We had an awesome time, and it was a real hoot chatting with Patrick, the chef there. I had the antelope appetizer, served on fried plantains. It was extremely tasty! And the pistachio gelato in espresso for dessert was amazing. The company was outstanding as well. We had to leave far too early, but that 5 AM wakeup call takes a toll on you on late Friday nights.
Saturday I had to work. yay. I was in longer than I had intended, but got a good bit of work done. When I got home, Dan and I ran some errands and did some pre-Anthrocon shopping. Sunday was spent doing more prep work (printing paperwork, setting up the Artists Alley cash register programming, and putting the finishing touches on some policies). We still have a few things to do between now and when we leave, but I’m feeling pretty good about things.
And back to work I go…
I keep hearing everyone rave about “The Bank.” I need to go try that sometime.
Stress … urf…
WHe you staff and stuff I am sure it is all the more so stressful. Yet I find I was always stressed before a con despite not being on staff or anything. Just the packing for it and what not was enough. Clearly I’m too much of a ‘type A’ personality.
I am fixing the problem at the root of its cause, with a few tablets of “F*itall”.
