A brush with Bloomers!

NEWS ITEM NUMERO ONE-O:

Meera is married!!! What a gorgeous day filled with gorgeosity. And such.


NEWS ITEM NUMERO DUE:

Kristin's Old! Happy B'day K-Diggety!


NEWS ITEM NUMBER TRES:

Sarah and I visited with everyone's favorite Bloomers today! For all of you NOT joining the Sinstitute/Imposium (um, I guess that's everyone except me), you may still be excited to know the following tidbits:

1. There will be hand-printed napkins. (We got a preview - the Artist's Proof, if you will.)

2. Brendan Fraser will not be appearing. You find this information confusing, if not unnecessary and unrelated? Oh, WE got the story. That's right. Uh huh.

But he's not coming.

3. Tobin Anderson IS coming! Sweet mother of Handel! I'll have to put the moves on him! (Yaaawn... stretch... and now I'm touching you.)


Bloomers herself is in fine form, despite finding out that she got her last paycheck EVOR in June and isn't getting a cent for all the incredible work she puts into the Sinstitute. Of course, they couldn't keep her away with Bloomers Repellent, if anyone were stupid enough to make such a product.

What was the institute like?

Looonely without you, of course.

Also, long, busy, exhausting, enlightening, wonderfully social, etc. I think the word got around to more people that they're supposed to bring some critical thought to the podium, which was a relief. Much less book promo crap to deal with.

We got to see celebrities, of course, including jLiz, Dylan, Meredith, Jen Nissenbaum, Bindy, and sundry others.

Tobin was brilliant. Effing brilliant. Of course, he was talking about music, so he had me at "Baroque."

Sigh.

And Bloomers cried, and Cathie cried, and it's true; she's now retired. Let me throw in a wee sob.
