Had a good time at Summerstar although it was pretty wet Friday night. I arrived within only a few minutes of gate-close because of really heavy traffic between Tacoma and Olympia--for reasons I cannot begin to phantom--and set my tent up in the rain. It paused raining long enough to load up the tent and get into bed. I was quite comfortable and I slept in the next morning. Most everything had dried off by that point.

Spent Saturday hanging out. I recognized a few people from two years ago, but was pretty much entirely on my own. Made some new friends and enjoyed a relaxing day. The main ritual was awesome again this year, again complete with some light misting that cleared up after we were done. Yeah water. Danced by the revel fire a while and called it a night.

Got packed up this morning and back to Seattle by around 5pm, had dinner with some gamer buddies, and hung out with

snarg who was visiting this week from Victoria. During dinner my folks called to say thanks for the Firefly DVDs I sent for Father's Day, and to tell me that they couldn't stop watching them this week and wanting to know more about Serenity. I figured my Trekkie mom and Louis Lamore fan father would like it.

Can't Stop the Signal!

All-in-all, excellent weekend. Pretty much the only downside was no time with

jeliza, but hopefully that will be happen sooner than later.

PS: Happy birthday,
