great weekend!

okay so ross had to work saturday, but i got a big part of the fence stained on friday and then pixiecup came over (pink hair and all) and we worked outside before going to the ice cream social and then up to the witch's hat tower in st. paul. it was a lot of fun. the view was incredible. you could see both st. paul and minneapolis from the top.

then i went to game. got lost on the way there. again i have mixed feelings. some really fun things happened . i got status for no good reason (although sarnait has earned it and not gotten it plenty of times - i shouldn't complain) and got torn away from what i was doing a lot. the influence system they use is really tricky and i haven't completely figured it out yet. there is a lot to keep in your memory. some kid had a tantrum in the middle of game and left in a huff. the drama does little to impress me.

susan and i had a really nice day together, saturday - talked about art n' stuff before going out to see lojo (a friend of susan and mike's) play at an irish pub in stillwater. man am i glad i went! there was really a strong feeling of community there. michael got up on stage a few times as did adam stemple of the tim malloys for those of you who know who the hell they are. mostly it was just lojo on guitar/mandolin and loraine (who happens to be neil gaiman's assistant) on fiddle. good stuff.
