A fugitive from fannish justice.


  • My infamy as they guy who is on every panel is growing. The latest newsletter features a wanted poster. (PDF)

  • You'll also see the top ten reasons I've been missing so many panels. We had fun writing that.

  • It was [livejournal.com profile] johnnyeponymous who misspelled "Marillion."

  • Today I had three actual scheduled events; Two Weeks A Year, My Ass, Really Long-Haul Trucking, and How to be a Good GM.

  • Between those, I wanted to attend Moon or Mars and listen. But Jay Freeman ordered me to sit on the panel.

  • I love it when I pit my high-school education against PhDs.

  • But the panel went very well, and I think my contributions were well-received.

  • In fact I got positive comments for all the events I've done so far.

  • Done with actual scheduled things, but there are two panels I'm going to crash tomorrow.

  • Very impressed with this year's art show. Had we the money, there were about four pieces I would have happily brought home.

  • The Dealer's Room is on tomorrow's agenda.

  • I was planning on hanging around for the parties, but after dinner with [livejournal.com profile] kshandra and [livejournal.com profile] murphymom I was feeling a little off and decided to call it a night.

  • It seems that I really need an on-site room so I can escape to rest when I need to do so.

  • But coming home i caught the Giants game. To my surprise, Buster Posey had been called up. How'd he do?

  • 3 for 4, 3 runs batted in. Nice debut.

  • Elsewhere, Roy Halladay pitched the Major Leagues' 20th perfect game against the Marlins.

  • Time for bed.

What is that - two perfect games in as many weeks? Wow.

EDIT: Keith did the math for me. That's some impressive shit, mang.

I have a sneaky suspicion this will end up being a meme.

Hmmm, actually...

(Snickers evilly and goes off to look for Waldo pictures).

Two Weeks A Year, My Ass, Really Long-Haul Trucking, and How to be a Good GM.

Hmmmm, I count *four* events there. I bet the second one was popular with all the ladies.

I was at Halladay's previous brush with greatness -- his first major league win, 8 2/3 or no-no and then a homer to Booby Higginson. My best friend is a Tigers fan, so we went into town to watch the game and the Jays threw this rook out there at them. So that was pretty special.

Posey's been called up? I wasn't expecting him until mid-June when they could get around that inconvenient salary issue.

With Renteria and DeRosa both out we needed some help. Huff is playing left field and Posey has been playing first (and doing a decent job at it.) I'm really impressed by his patience at the plate. He really knows how to work a count and has a good eye for close pitches.

I enjoyed the GMing panel; thanks for taking the time to create the handout.

Since you’re a Traveller player, you might find Diaspora interesting; it’s a workup of the FATE system done by die-hard Traveller fans.
