I suppose having an elephant fetish wouldn't hurt. :)
The banquet was a lot of fun. Play It With Moxie picked up "Crosstime Bus" this year and I really enjoyed hearing their treatment of it.
After the banquet,
I sat in the open filk for a bit tonight where Barry was good enough to play "Small Designs" for Gretchen before she had to take the children off to bed. I headed up not too much later, as the room was pretty relentlessly cheerful, which wasn't really what I was in the mood for. And it wasn't like Katie and Julie weren't happy to see me.
Or Gretchen, for that matter. :)
