wiscon, weddings and weather
May. 30th, 2007 11:46 amWiscon was a fabulous weekend full of fun and thought provoking discussions and yummy food. Favorite panels included: the Heroes panel, mostly because it was the first night and most of us were sitting on the floor so it had almost a slumber party feel to it. I also enjoyed the women in comics panel, the Fun Home panel, and the weaponry panel was very unexpectedly cool. Some stuff felt a little over my head...like there was a panel we went to about the X-Women, and although I have strong opinions about the third movie, I haven't read the comics so I can't be all, "That was completely out of character for Magneto!" But I had my knitting with me so I was a happy camper anyway. On the way back we stopped at House on the Rock, which I'd never been to before, but must go to again (esp since we didn't see all of it). So overwhelmingly amazing! I told Shawn that I want to live in the carousel...not the house just the carousel, and I will take all my meals there and sleep in the carriages and spend my days riding unicorns and seahorses.
Haven't written too much about wedding planning, but that's because it feels like we got all the major stuff done with in a few weeks. Place, caterer, dress, photographer, dj...done, done, done and done, and we're both extremely happy with the choices we made. There's some fiddly stuff to take care of...I had been thinking about making beaded bouquets and have decided that that's where madness lies. Maybe I'll just do the single orchid thing, if I bother with bouquets at all. I just spent the morning looking at handmade tiaras on etsy...ignoring all the pretty, silvery ones and focusing on the funky looking ones, preferably with red beads and black wire. Still wondering if I should attempt to make one myself...don't think it would be too hard to make one with a crochet hook, but some of the stuff I'm seeing is so much more intricate than I could ever do myself. Hmmm... In any case, I'm extremely excited to see how this whole crazy experiment turns out.
It feels hot and humid out. I like hot and humid.
