Since the start of the year the team has expanded and is awesome, but all I can think about is me going to
melloniel "Hey, you're going to let me write for your blog, cause it would be awesome and I know DC pretty well" fully figuring she would laugh at me and tell me no. Never mind all the weeks we went 'GRR ACK WHAT ARE WE GOING TO POST???'

Please, go vote if you'd like (it's question 27) and take a look at some of the nominees.

February 18-21 Gallifrey (LA - Cosplay - Nyssa Black Orchid dress & Tegan Stewardess outfit) - Will likely end up staying about a week and having visits with peeps and a mini Deense-con, not exactly sure of dates. Must also have some basic sewing done so I can spend time with
