SIGH.

So. Long story short. I was going to VanCAF. I was really looking forward to going to VanCAF. But. I am not going to VanCAF anymore, because the bulk of things I was trying to get done in time to ship to the fest, didn’t get done. Namely, the owl buttons and its woeful entanglement with a malfunctioning machine. After tossing a whole bag of defects, I caved and went to the fridge. Took out the last quarter of this strawberry roll cake I got from a small Russian supermarket down the street, and a bottle of Leinenkugel’s Lemon Berry Shandy. I ate the cake in three bites. It was sweet. Then I drank the beer. It was medicine.

By that I meant that it tasted like medicine. So if there’s a lesson learned from this, its to not drink beer after eating something strawberry-sweet-like (or when you’re upset). And that I should have managed my time far better, months in advance, in order to have anticipated and fixed this problem with time to spare for the fest. But I didn’t.

Still flying out to Seattle tomorrow to visit a good friend for a few. Maybe get my head set on straight again.

Cheers.

REBLOG GIVEAWAY.

I’m trying to spread the word about the new Out of Step Arts T-shirts that will be debuted at Heroes Con in June (and are available for pre-order at a special price here). So, if you could help me out by rebloging this post, you could win a free OOSA shirt! Pretty easy, huh? 

How it works:

  • If you reblog this post, you are automatically entered for your chance to win one (1) OOSA shirt of your choosing; either the Toby Cypress (“Arrival”) design or the Liz Suburbia (“Old VA”) design.
  • On 6/3/13, I’ll randomly select three (3) people as winners. Winners will be notified via Tumblr ask or mail. 
  • The three people selected will let me know which design, size, color and “fit” (ladies’ or unisex).
  • I’ll mail you your shirt for free. Winners will not incur any costs or fees.  
  • If the person(s) selected cannot be contacted via tumblr, or do(es) not respond timely, another person(s) will be be chosen.

Not bad for clicking a button. Thanks for your help getting the word out about the shirts.

We’re really excited
