Presh and the BCoats
Presh has never been to a geek event. No conventions, no fan meet-ups, not even a Creatures of the Night show in Berkely. These, of course, are my people though I stay away from cosplay. Except for that one time in college. I think she enjoyed the event. It was not completely overwhelming, though Tucson put on a fantastic show. They have great fans there. I wish we could have stayed up for the midnight RHPS. It is nice to see the next generation picking up where we left off. There was the cheering and the inside jokes and the love. Lots of love.

The Loft - Tucson, AZ
I love this theater. I had dreams of buying the Fairfax theater and turning into a place like this. Great movies, amazing community support, beer, and RHPS every Saturday night. It seats 500 and still the Best Damn Joss Whedon Double Feature Ever! event sold out. I cannot wait for Talk Like a Pirate Day when this event comes to Tempe. The event raised raised about $5,389.00 and my spirits for the night.

Tucson Tussle
We just pulled into Tucson and there is free broadband at this hotel. The ride down was interesting. Saw a big rig push a pick-up truck off the road and had late afternoon waffles from Waffle House. An hour to freshen up then off to The Loft. And as promised, here is a message relay - red fox two is mining near Bloody Gulch. Repeat - red fox two is mining near Bloody Gulch.
Keep flying…

Serenity Now/Equality Now
The convoy is heading south. If you want to hitch a ride the meatup begins at the Sonic then on to Krispy Kreme. Would have preferred to get there in time for The Loft’s Scream-O-Rama but there is mining to do. Remember there are prizes for best cosplay. Obey the feed!

Coffee Cup Flair
Yesterday morning as I settled in at my desk I hear screams and shouts coming from the parking lot below. I get up and look down and see a bunch of SWAT guys running around the parking lot. I takes a beat, but I eventually see the yellow tape and our police instructors with their notepads. Okay…
Speaking of my window, I have been put on notice because it is lacking flair. There will be an unannounced inspection in a few days at which point it better be accessorized. I point to the coffee cup that was left on the sill as I watched the SWAT guys. Apparaently, it was not enough. Any suggestions?
