I'll be spending most of the weekend at the Dragonflight convention playing Portals of Midwrathe and generally hanging out with geeky friends. DF is a local gamer-focused convention with lots of board games and RPGs.

What makes this convention note-worthy compared to the bazillion of other conventions I attend is that it marks my third year living in Seattle. Dragonflight 2001 was a week after I moved, and my friend Karen introduced me around to the various RPGA folk at that convention--Karen is the friend who died suddenly a few months back. I only stayed Friday night because Andrea returned from her Intel training the next day and it had been a month or so since she had moved to Portland from Austin, so I wanted to get down there to see her as soon as possible.

In some ways, it feels like a lifetime since I lived in Austin. I miss so many things and people, but I know that it is no longer home. That first year in Seattle was really, really hard but things are much better now in general. Still, there are a lot of poignant memories of Austin and my life there, the life I thought I might have following Andrea to the Pacific Northwest, and the good friend gone before her time.
