MFF: A very brief con report

Advantage of flying out of White Plains: Easy in, easy out. Except of course when apparently you've got your toiletries packed incorrectly. (My "logistics invisibility" shield worked fine, but it didn't extend to lediva, sadly.) Disadvantage of flying out of White Plains: small little commuter plane. Claustrophobia city.

Highlights of the con: Getting to see a lot of folks I haven't seen in 2-4 years, and having it feel like I was still close with them. Dressing up in a witchy black cat costume and reading Cat Wisdom cards and Magic Eight Ball for over five hours with barely a break, and actually getting quite a few good readings out of them, despite them having pictures of things like cats contemplating eating frogs and stuff. Lesbian pillowfight room parties, even without any actual pillowfights. Sleeping in, to the point that *lediva* had to wake *me* up.

Lowlights of the con: Running a poorly attended and really moderately crappy World Tree session. Not having there be any Karaoke Revolution to play. Not seeing some people that I'd hoped would be there.

All in all, a good sort of physical and mental reset for me. Many thanks to everyone who made it happen. Many thanks to bard_bloom and projectmothra for hanging out at home together so I could go.

Fred Soll Group Order/Sale

I was making this offer over at evil_enablers, but I thought I'd offer it on my own journal as well. Sorry to any who may be bored or offended by all of the selling.

*******************************************************************
As I think a lot of you know, I run a webshop which carries a variety of natural incenses. I need to place a new order with Fred Soll Incense for the shop, and since I know it's a favorite of a lot of the folks here (and since reseller minimum orders with them are pretty high), I thought I'd offer all of you an opportunity to get some at a discount.

These are all natural, thick sticks, and pretty much the most intense natural product I've come across. Each stick lasts over an hour, and you won't want to burn the whole stick at once unless you are in a very open space. These are hand rolled in Taos, New Mexico on a resin base, mostly Pinon Pine. I highly highly recommend these if you like strong, bold, resinous scents.

If you'd like to get in on this group order, let me know which items you'd like by commenting here or by email to vickib@gmail.com. I'll offer you 15% off the usual retail cost. I'll also offer you free shipping (US/Canada addresses), and a 15% discount on anything else from Mother's Hearth that you'd like to have shipped at the same time.

I can take payment by PayPal, any kind.

( On to the scents! )
