Getting to wear my mom’s kimono to the banquet. I didn’t know how to tie an obi so I sewed one on the night before we left for Columbus, and used VELCRO as a fastener. Velcro isn’t exactly traditional, but it worked. I’d like to think Mom would have been amused.

Seanan’s demonstration of how a Cone Snail devours its prey. Seanan knows WAY too much about poisonous animals.

Performing Starsoul in open filk with Brooke Lunderville.
Open filk on Sunday afternoon and evening. All the open filks were fun, but I enjoyed Sunday’s filk the most. The atmosphere seemed more laid-back. Sunday’s afternoon jam was WAY fun — this is one of my favourite kinds of circles, where everyone’s just playing and singing along for the pure fun of it.

Hearing Erica sing Elektra’s Song (by Chris Malme).
Hanging out with Erin and Rand in our hotel room. Loved hearing Erin sing. We also got in some serious girltalk.

Sib’s improvisation workshop. I was too busy trying to avoid being assassinated to take any photos, sorry.

Singing Magic In The Air to Sue and Tom (part of our wedding present to them earlier in the year) and seeing them make up actions.
Seeing Katy and Steve again. It’s been way too long. Loved their concert.

Toyboat’s concert, especially watching the star performer above.
Getting my hair braided (a bit of it, anyway) :-).

Here’s a link to a web site with photographs showing how to tie your obi properly in only 28 not too difficult steps. IIRC, my mom always got her sisters to help:
