Good morning everyone!  I thought it was late enough and didn't feel like going without a morning coffee thread so here it is!
 
ThaydFest was an amazing amount of fun and got to meet a bunch of new people.  I can't wait to meet more new people and have fun at more community events such as that.  Even most of the non-rp'ers that came around were having a blast and that was good to see.  Sorry this one is short, I'm a bit fried and just finished my morning show.  I hope everyone had a blast yesterday as well.

ThaydFest was amazing :)  I haven't had that much fun running an event in years.
 
I stayed up super late and slept in.  Good thing it's a weekend!

			I stayed up super late too but couldn't sleep in. Silly neighbors always drill and hammer something at 10am. It was still worth it though :)

Hi hi, not much to recap on yesterday as had to spent most of it working on drawing & cv presentations for next week, only had time for quick daily run on Nexus.
Ended up having sore throat & headaches last night making it hard to sleep, so took milk & honey to hopefully soothe throat along with usual breakfast.
 
 
Will try working on rest of presentations today, hopefully cold not still remain on day of performance next Wednesday.

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?I ended up going to work yesterday. 14-and-a-half-hours shift FROM HELL means I got home past midnight and went to bed past 1am. I woke up at 7am so I am still very tired and will probably go take a nap after I am done writing this. Oh yeah, I had a fruit salad with vanilla yogurt this morning. Come to think of it, I probably should have made it into a smoothie.
 
Protostar!
 
In WildStar news, not much has happened since I barely played yesterday. This morning, I did my dailies and the usual challenges. I did get a new dye out of the trunk of tarnished tints. The highlight, however, is getting many sweet deals on multiple dyes that can be found in a Duffel Bag of Distinguished Dyes. For less than a platinum, I got Exile Blue, Infradread, Protostar Green and Ultraviolent dyes. Hopefully I will keep on getting some sweet deals!Sleepy time! Go!

It was my turn to sleep in this morning (we have a 2 year old, so my husband and I rotate on sleeping in on week-ends)...
Well, he cheated and brought a bag of freshly opened coffee under my nose... And proceeded to make coffee for me. Couldn't resist THAT. 
 
So I'm up now... *sips coffee* *lurks forums*

Yesterday was awesome!
 
Thaydfest was great!  Again, thanks to everyone who showed up and especially to those who organized.  And now, some pictures!

Also, I stayed up a little later to start working on the interior of the temporary bar, semipermanent cabin, and eventually-to-be-replaced-by-blank housing plug, and also on my new engineer, when Kytar showed up!   So now I've got two officers between Vanica and Kytar! :D  So happy to see Kytar last night, so we hung out on the Shadowcaster to go over the intricacies of housing.
 
I can't wait for drop 3.  I'm logging in now, and just happy there are other people to help with the organization a bit.
 
See you all on Nexus!

Good morning good... well, afternoon apparently. Unless you're in the Pacific islands. Wanted to respond sooner, but I wanted to make something in honor of Thaydfest yesterday. Specifically from the race portion.
 
Lizabelle Dewpetal, formerly of Evindra.
(Sloppy job, but I don't have a whole lot of time to work with before work.)
 
 
So, Thaydfest was fun! I especially liked the RP quest and the trivia (Which I managed to get a few correct answers on). I wouldn't mind seeing more RP quests, they're pretty immersive and a nice test of seeing if I can remember locations. Also learned a few extra things from RP 101 that I could implement to my repertoire.
 
Dominion-side, didn't do as much, but I did do some dungeon runs. I finally got to see normal Stormtalon's lair, so there's progress! Kinda tricky compared to Kel Voreth.

So it's afternoon now, but I should do a proper coffee post now that I'm awake!
 
So yesterday in Wildstar was ThaydFest, which went really well.  We hit some snags which will always going to be the case, but everyone pulled together to work through them and make the event a success.
 
After ThaydFest my brain was much from 8 hours of coordinating and chat announcements (and even running some contests), so I had a late lunch, then did crafting dailies, then logged out and took a nap.  Later I came back and took some guildies through Siege of Tempest Refuge - for once, the RNG was kind to me there.  We didn't get any tanks until the last wave, and then it was like the game decided it was Tank Time - we had both types of tanks in the wave plus the tank boss!
 
This morning we did a Crimelords of Whitevale run.  Have I mentioned lately that I love Crimelords?  No?  Well, I love Crimelords.  I love it so much.  I love getting into character a bit when we run it, and it's just plain fun.  It makes me want to put on a suit jacket and a fedora and put my heavy gun inside a violin case on my back.  Ya know what I"m sayin?
 
Then it was off to RL.  I had to go do a walkthrough on the place I'm moving to next month.  I have a pretty nice little townhouse right now, but a friend of mine is getting married and needs to do something with her old house - so, I'm going to rent it from her for basically the same that I pay right now.  The new place is in a really nice neighborhood, and has about twice the space as the current one - seriously, it's palatial.  Like "I'm gonna need ore furniture" big.  To be honest, it's way too much house for me, since it's just me and the dog and the cat, but it'll be really nice when I have company over and stuff.
 
Anyway back from that now, and have a general timeline for when the move will be happening (in a few weeks), and so now it's an afternoon of Wildstar... and laundry.  About to log into the game and see if I can scare up some people to run Sanctuary of the Swordmaiden, I think :)
 
Oh yeah - this morning as an experiment, I crafted a set of Epochos armor and stuck it up on the AH to see what happens.  The stat allocations I use on armor are different from what a lot of people do - mainly because I feel like pushing a single stat at the expense of every other stat is cheesy and I hope those mechanics get changed soon so that people aren't just piling everything into their AP stat - so it will be interesting to see whether people buy this stuff or not.  But I had a bunch of rough hybrid cores laying around so why not?  Maybe it will make me a little bit of money :)

For all Blazing Saddles out there checking in, I would like you guys to drop by our forums, head to General Discussion, and weigh in on our "Questions on New Guild Stuff" thread.  I need everyone's feedback so people aren't locked out of content during scheduling.  I also want everyone's feedback before we move forward with new initiatives.
 
Thank you, Vanica and Kytar, so much for stepping in.  I feel like we can run a lot more stuff with a few more hands on the controls.  I can't even describe how happy I am hearing you guys and your ideas!
 
Have to post this message a few other places to round up everyone and try to corral them onto the forums for this discussion, though.

			Sorry I haven't been on the site much man.  I'm so RP centric and with two characters, a lot of times I don't have much to contribute. I can't even finish dailies today.
