A bit more about Stumptown

Things continue to be rather busy in my world this week, but there were a few more things about this past weekend's Stumptown event that I had wanted to comment on and just haven't until now.

‡ There were many men in kilts. Utilikilts, I should specify. At least I think they were. They weren't tartans, and Utilikilts is based in Seattle. At one point I nudged evannichols and nodded toward a nearby table with boxes of comics to look through and said, "Kilt, jeans, jeans, kilt!" to describe the men standing in a row.

‡ Shing! She is an adorable webcomic and amateur knitter and highly talented watercolorist and many other things. I bought a few of her postcards and said I'd link to her stuff, so I will. There's also a picture: .
Her primary site is sawdustpress. She was too precious for words.
‡ A woman came near the table while evannichols was taking some time off from being around people and I drew her into conversation due entirely to her shoes, which looked identical to this:
.
Cat shoes. CAT SHOES!!! I told her (and thusly, told myself at the same time) that once I was employed again, a pair of those (though perhaps in a slightly different colorway) was going to be my first gift to myself. She (and they) were awesome. The wearer of said shoes was up from SoCal, one of a few people I met over the two days who teaches courses to do with comics and that medium. That makes my fangirl heart full to bursting.

So now it's Tuesday evening; I had my modeling gig at PCC and am very stiff and sore from the extended pose I had. And it was raining and windy, so no jogging, but I will do some Pilates in the comfort of my own room later on. Tomorrow is lunch with Evan at BHFT and a sleepover, so I probably won't post again for a day or two. ;)
