Welcome to "It Must Be Summer"

"It Must Be Summer" is back for Comfest 2013.

Started five years ago by toph and John, the group blog returns for its sixth year for Comfest 2013. Time flies. In the spirit of community that is essential to Comfest, here is a place to share your Comfest thoughts, memories, and experiences. We look forward to seeing, reading, or watching (iPhone video is STILL a dangerous and beautiful thing) whatever you'd like to share here.

If you are reading this and you didn't receive an invite to post and would like to contribute, leave a comment and John or toph will get you added.

We'll see you on the grass in the park.

Rain, rain, go away...


And then the heavens opened up. (And yes, there was much "I wish I could do that".)

Shortly after this picture, it poured rain. There are three categories to describe the states that resulted:

Dry:
Anya

Mostly Dry:
Tara

Uber-Wet:
Ben
John
Jason
Gabrielle
toph

OK, I lied, there's a fourth:

Whole new meaning to the word DRENCHED:
Seth

Seth, however, gamely continued to eat his ribs despite the downpour.

We lasted an hour. A full hour of getting rained on. When they closed the Gazebo stage we gave up. We packed up and tore out of the park, which mostly resembles a large puddle.

So now we are back at Casa de Toph y Jill attempting to dry out and waiting on pizza delivery. That should be REAL quick. Toph says they're quoting an hour. We'll see.

Just to give props where props are due -- the Donatos guy was here one hour and 5 minutes after I placed the call... based on the horrific weather, and the fact that I assume everyone within a 20 mile radius was ordering pizza to wait out the storm, I'll give them the 5 minutes...

They even made the vegetarian sub for Jason and remembered to put no cheese on it -- so they were even doing fully custom work correctly (which is pretty much unheard of... can't get them to leave the tomato off of Jill's sub most of the time...)
