This time last year-

[Anne]

I had been sleeping in a tent on Moo's stair case landing for what, three days? I had awful heartburn from transit and a new, special loathing for LA. We were getting ready for the Steampunk Con and just generally hanging around.

I miss Moo And her mum... and CVS.

[Monkey]

Erg, I missed you so much today. Dx

[Anne]

;-; Damn you lack of teleportation.

[Ice]

I am sad I missed the NYC meetup.

Also, a tent on the staircase? How on earth did that work?

[Anne]

That was a pity

Staircase LANDING. xDD I can imagine trying to balance a tent on an actual staircase... Even if I were successful in that Moo's animals would have knocked it loose.

[Monkey]

It was actually in our living room, but whatever. xD


So, I only took a few photos at the con, but here they are:

At the bustle panel, this thing was pretty hilarious:


Then there was an exhibit from a guy who makes guitars:





Then there was some other stuff at in the museum exhibit:



Then I ACTUALLY MADE SOME SPATS. They're not perfect, but they work pretty well. I need to move the buttons since they're a bit big and I still haven't added a bottom strap because I wanted to be able to wear them with flats, but I got a few compliments.

[Anne]

What neat spats WELL DONE MOO FACE.

That was your living room? I thought the thing downstairs was the living/lounge room? ... Or are those different things?

[Monkey]

Downstairs is the family room. (x
