Comfest 2008: Day Two Begins

John's upstairs making noise as he gets ready; I've showered and shaved (because it itches if you don't), rubbed some vitamin E on my very mild sunburn, cleaned up two posts where the picture got messed up somehow, made the coffee, and now I'm ready to head out to get more tequila, lime, blue curacao, and ice. Jill has prepared a tasty looking quiche that is currently cooking away and has bacon ready for our glorious return after the foraging.

Outside is just gross... the humidity is really high, the sky is a bleak and dreary gray, there's almost nothing moving outside at all right now. It really is the calm before the storm (both literally and figuratively )

ComFest day one was exciting and interesting -- the injuries we sustained were not of the permanent sort, the music was excellent, the cigars were wonderful, the company was beyond compare, and I've been told I finally got to meet drunk Brant (though if that's all there was to it, I have no idea why I waited so long... seemed more like "warm and fuzzy" Brant to me, but...) Later in the evening, after I'd determined that iPhones don't take good pictures in the dark, Karl Christopher showed up and hung out with us for a bit, and when John and I came back to make the second pitcher for the day we picked up our neighbors across the alley (Liz, Brad, Jeremy, and Boogs) and they came down to meet everyone as well... They stayed till the music was over; Brant, Dan, John, Ellen, and I stayed down there for another hour or so until the cleanup crews started to look more than mildly distressed by our presence.

Four bottles of Cabo consumed; that's right folks, four... and we all still seem to be standing (though we haven't seen Jason yet, Gabrielle took him home last night and promised to return him for the 11:00 breakfast...)

Time to wipe the final sleep from my eyes and face the brave new day... Much more ComFesting to do!
