Yesterday's Fangirlventure

[browngirl]

So, after cooking and signmaking and putting on the T-shirt labeled "Warning: I slash everything" that WD kindly and generously bought for me (which garnered many compliments), I set off for yesterday's viweing of Star Trek at the Hatch Shell.

This will be far briefer than it deserves, but I want to make sure it gets written at all. My butt is now sore from sitting on the hard ground, but it was totally worth it.

I reached blcwriter, who packed extensively and sensibly, and we headed out to meet up with ennyousai of the beautiful tattoos. Soon we were joined by, in no accurate order: veritykindle, ninhursag, daughterofnut, lymanalpha, amazonziti, merisunshine36, castofone, pearlstar117, lindmere, roflolmaomg, and withthepilot and her friend. Our meetup was clearly ordained, considering te Parking Space Awesomeness that befel, and all the wonderful coincidences that got us all there.

(My sign wasn't terribly necessary in the end, but it was amusing to bring with me on the T and watch people curiously reading it.)

ALSO, I met an adorable baby named Tyler, 7 months old, whose kind and generous parents let me hold him (I must look trustworthy, or at least slow-moving) and told me if he'd been a girl they'd've named her a name starting with the same first syllable as mine.

AND MOST AWESOMELY, ladysprite spotted the fangirl gatherination I'd mentioned and came over to hug me and say hi!

Alas, we got rained out of the actual movie. So BLC fit as many of us as possible into her car and we watched The Movie at her place (and everyone put up with my squeaking).

As Lindmere said, it was odd and neat not to have to check one's email since many of the people one would be emailing with were there and all.

Today: Filker Barbecue and Fangirl Potluck! *happy dances*

WHAT.

WHERE WAS THIS.

;___________________; I have 6street visiting me in DC for the weekend. ONE DAY I will have to meet up with you and the amazing people.

Alas, I forgot all about the movie, or I might have joined you. I was near the hatch shell too, earlier in the evening, having just gone sailing at CBI. (Went again this morning, too!)

WHY AM I NOT WITH YOU AND 6 IN DC. That sounds like the awesomest weekend.

[asimaiyat.livejournal.com]

That sounds amazing! I'm so jealous of everybody.

[echoinautumn.livejournal.com]

It has been very awesome! :D There has been a lot of writing-planning done, both for original projects and fic, and so. much. cooking. She's pretty much the ideal hang-out house guest :D

"I Slash Everything" begs for a filk of "I Crush Everything."

Meanwhile, out here, we have Trek in the Park, performed live.

*seething jealousy*

Seriously though, that sounds like it fucking rocked.

I really think you should name your LJ "I must look trustworthy, or at least slow-moving."

because zomg teh funnAY.

[syredronning.livejournal.com]

This sounds totally awesome :) Wish I could have been there :))) They really should invent beaming soon, sigh.

I'd have to watch the scene again...

[gingicat]

That could work... just listened to the song earlier. I'd need to listen to it a few more times.

Duuuuude. Cool. Glad it was fun!

You know, in planetary terms, Boston is a mere hop-skip-jump away from DC...

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

And I forgot to email and remind you like I'd meant to. *facepalms* It would have been great to introduce you to other Boston-area fans I know!

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

As I just said to Echo, planetarily speaking we are neighbors. One day we'll make this happen.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*giggles helplessly* Oh, YOU. It really would work, except that "I crush everything" makes me weepy.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*hugs you tightly* One day we'll meet up, one day! It was totally awesome, and one day I want to tease you in person for your Jimsmushing ways just like I got to tease Ninhursag.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

You know, I probably should. It does describe me pretty well.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

I wish they would! And yet I'd probably be as afeaid of beaming as Bones is...

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

It was *awesome*. I think you would have enjoyed it, too. "_

[echoinautumn.livejournal.com]

IT IS. It would just be creepy for me to be like "COME VISIT ME" or "CAN I VISIT YOU".

But it is, and I would love to meet up somewhere sometime if you'd like! Even if it's just at a midway point like NYC or something :D
