Some further #OVFF purchases: a toy rocket from the Interfilk auction, because rockets should have fins like a friggin' '59 Cadillac, and 'Stolen Season' by @sjtuckermusic.bsky.social because 'Little Bird' is on it.
A red and yellow toy rocket black fins and nose cone, and a CD of 'Stolen Season' by S.J. Tucker.

Convention auctions are *lethal*. I just bought a late 70s Yamaha dreadnought. I'm not supposed to leave with more gear than I brought!

I justify it on the basis that while I have a guitar already, it is not a *good* guitar. Now I have a good, a *really* good guitar.

When did I step through a portal and end up in hell?

Bus. Not bun. Although transit rabbits would be interesting!

Heading back to OVFF--as per tradition, I forgot something and had to go home to get it. XD

On the plus side, the new hotel is a 15 minute bun ride from home, practically door to door.

New hotel this year, and the layout is almost exactly the reverse of the old one, so everyone's hesitating at every junction trying to not resort to about 20 years of muscle memory (self included). :D

She was great at the Pegasus concert last night--but then, when isn't she great in concert? :)

Also now I'm wondering if I can twist Shel Silverstein's "A Boy Named Sue" into something about guys who knit. XD

I know you have several songs on the theme but I didn't know there was a proper collection... but now I do! (also, "Eleanor Roosevelt's Knitting" is another favorite anyway)

Granted it's crochet rather than knitting, this is my project during the convention. It's going to grow up to be a full sized throw and I continue to underestimate the amount of cotton yarn it's going to take. ;)
Crocheted throw project about 2m wide and 50cm deep

Several years ago, they showed "A Night at the Opera" during during the summer movie series, and they ran "What's Opera, Doc?" before it.

It was like seeing it for the first time, and a reminder that these were *made* to be seen on the big screen. Wow.

A toast to my 35th (at least?) #OVFF! Time to enjoy the opening Mad Hatter's Tea Party!
Selfie; I'm wearing a black chef's jacket and matching toque over a charcoal shirt and a Garcia tie. And a smile. :)

There already is one (Conservapedia and I'm not giving them the oxygen of a link—to paraphrase the late great Linda Smith, never mind the oxygen of publicity, I'm not all that happy with them having the oxygen of oxygen) and it's doing about as badly as you'd expect: very.

My personal favorite is 'Can You Knit, Brave Boys' since I'm a boy who knits. :D

Saying that to a corporate drone makes you an excellent person.
