... but first things first.
I had intended to go to bed relatively early last night. I was tired after a busy week, and I wanted to be able to get up early today, spend a leisurely few hours with the newspaper, and then head off to the Anticipation gathering/BBQ.
So what did I do instead? I sat at the computer until 5 in the morning surfing Youtube... and then slept until almost 2. *headdesk*
Anyway, the gathering was small, but fun. Ian (the seven year old son of two of the people who were there) was fascinated by a Meccano contraption that one of the hosts had set up and the massive collection of Lego. Much talk about fandom occurred, as well as some non-fannish topics. I now have more knowledge about kilts, which is always useful. Well, maybe not... unless you're a trivia geek like me. *grin* I got home around 1:30, and should probably get to bed soon because I have another gathering/BBQ to attend tomorrow.
But before I go... thanks to a comment made by
terri_osborne, I was motivated to Google myself. (Jeez, that sounds dirty.) In amongst the references to Polaris, Torcon, Keycon, Anticipation, Conadian, L.A.Con IV, theatre and various North American Bridge Championships, I came across a couple of short videos that I was in a few years ago, and hadn't known were online.
First, "Super Mechanical Fighting Team Jesus". The premise came from an ad-libbed line in a video that we made a few years earlier. That's me playing John the Baptist (and doing the voice of Jesus - we dubbed each other's voices. Don't ask.)
Here's another one, with me as The Beaver. Again, don't ask...
