Artist Conference!

jaelieIt's been a busy week since my last very hurried update.
I do indeed have a new nephew. Alexander is the first nephew on my side of the family (Matt has three nephews and two nieces, I now have one of each). He was born at 7.5 pounds and like 20 inches long. He's a cutie. ^_~ My sis is calling him Lex.
Hm. I need to find my digital camera's cable so I can take some pictures of them.
Saturday we had my sister's baby shower. It was small, pretty much only family came. Luckily, Annie was feeling well enough to come, and she brought the little one with her. We sat around and visited (I've never been one for party games. Bleh).
After the shower,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sahve and I went over to finari's place to make characters for the all-girl World of Darkness game that our friend Anne is going to run. lolafae and tempest_sky were already there. We visited, plotted, and otherwise had a fun time creating our characters. This'll be lolafae's and tempest_sky's first time to ever play a table-top RPG. They had some really cool ideas for their first characters, though, and I'm fully confident that they'll thoroughly enjoy themselves. Heh.
Lessee. Planned concepts are:
finari will be a "Street Rat"
lolafae will be a "Beautiful Leatherwearing Badass"
sahve will be a "Inventor Tinker Nerd"
tempest_sky will be a "New Age Wiccan"
My character is a skate punk.
It'll be a crazy fun game, I'm thinking.
Sunday was pretty stereotypical. Church in the afternoon and then a very relaxing evening. Monday evening we went to our friends home the Hendersons and hung out a bit, then went home to play some WoW.
Wednesday evening, our usual crew (finari and her husband, dogdoolb, sahve and I) played VtR. That game is developing nicely, and I'm having a lot of fun. Maybe some day I'll transfer my game notes to my LJ. If I do, though, I'll hide it so people who aren't interested don't get spammed. ^_~
Yesterday I picked up Cheryl at the airport, in preparation for our Artist Conference. All the sculptors and painters are coming in today, I believe, as well as quite a few of the attendees. Although, the attendance is going to be pretty intimate, as it is limited to thirty-five.
It's going to be a really busy weekend. Tonight instead of going to the gathering at work, we're going to our church's social, but tomorrow'll be crazy. Originally, I was planning on going out to the farm to help at the house. I should, since I missed last week, but I forgot about the Artist Conference, and I'll be needed here. Tomorrow, all day, I'll be at the shop. It's going to be really fun, in spite of the work.
We'll have our on-site store open the whole time, and games going non-stop in the store area. The break room will be used primarily for visiting and time-wasting. There will be paint classes in the paint studio and sculpting classes in the RAF hangar, which is a small, mobile unit with AC and two rooms just outside of our main warehouse. We're going to have Lord of the Rings (all three) and Star Wars (4, 5, 6) running all day in the conference room on the projection screen for people who need to rest a bit between classes.
I'm going to have my hands full, but it sure will be fun. The artists will be here till mid/late next week, although the conference portion that has the attendees will end on Sunday. I can't wait to take Sandy & Bobby to the little Thai restaurant. I think they'll really like it. Yum! Thai food!
So anyway, if I'm hard to reach this weekend, that would be why. My cell phone doesn't pick up reception at the shop, so if you need to find me, swing by. ^_~
