Geez, a lot can happen in just six days...

Dreamweaver finds himself in a whirlwind (underwater? okay, maybe a
whirlpool...) of activity. Dancing with Thyra, stomping a beat for the
Troika, eating pizza, throwing peanuts at some of the really bad punsters
(except John Ockerbloom, he gets a truckload dumped on him for that 12th
Night story), listening to stories (Alaric, _nice_ poem), relaxing after
he notices that Jammer still had the safety on his .45 switched on, and
getting a little confused watching news of Didi-Sprite's recent illness.

	"C'mere, Sprite." and Dreamweaver gives her a great big hug, "I'm
glad you're okay, in the time it took for me to read 3 or 4 posts I didn't
really get to worry much, but I worried."
	"Happy B-day Gypsy and Reverend and... what? Cool, happy B-day to
the Little Shot, congratulations Darkshot! I don't really have anything
for you except some roses, nothing significant about 'em, they're just
some pretty flowers."
	"Anyway, I'm finally coherent enough after New Years, EveCon,
Epiphany, and starting back up at work. Wanna hear about it? Good. I'll
try not to bore you. (No, wait, I didn't mean to drill you with an extra
pun...aaaagh!)

	"The Eve was hectic, but fun. It started around 5pm when I went to
meet some college friends and hang out. Since this is the group I went to
EveCon with, lets call them ConArtists. Around 7pm they got hungry so
while they went out for Chinese food, I went over to the other party of
friends I play GURPs with and do re-enactments with. I'll call them
Skraelings, because they are.
	Festivities there included a turkey dinner, watching 'The 5,000
Fingers of Dr. T', toasting the New Year, and Dragons Breath (thanks to
Jason for the recipe). Around 1 in the morning as the Skraeling party was
winding down, I drove (VERY sober, drinking and driving is a
double-plus-ungood-no-no) to the ConArtist party where more friends had
shown up. We watched 'The Princess Bride' (a la MST3K) and talked until 5am.
	"New Years Day. Time to go home, shower, and go spend the day with the
Skraelings playing GURPs, eating pizza, playing more GURPs, etc, etc until
1am. Then the @#^%&!@ (That's not line noise, that's me being polite)
drive to Crystal City, Virginia. Found the ConArtists, then spent the
remaining time until 4am or 5am dancing, watching 'Buffy, the Vampire
Slayer', and figuring out where to sleep (which I didn't, the person
sleeping to my right SSNOOORED:-( ).
	"The next day consisted of dyeing my hair red and painting the
'Cry For Dawn' insignia on my left cheek, buying books, having what will
probably be the 2nd best meal of my life (sushi and cappucino) and general
zany antics all day and through until about 3am.
	"That evening I did get to meet with and go out to dinner with
John/Leona and Amanda (w/o the Ekho). I won't ruin any VR impressions by
describing them in any detail, except to say that John was pretty large
and Amanda was pretty. We talked about everything from alt.callahans to
animation to re-enactments. Amanda, I'll see you at Jamestown Military
Through the Ages. Gryphon, I'm sorry we didn't see you but you were not to
be found when and where we looked. Anyway, we parted ways with chocolate
and saw each other at various parts of the Con.
	"Home again on Sunday and still no rest for the weary, my parents
were holding an Epiphany party, I still had to be sociable. For those of
you who don't know or are curious, I think Epiphany is when the 3 wisemen
came to see the newborn Jesus.
	"Well, I have gone on far too long with this. Thank you all for
putting up with me. Mike, next shout is my treat."
