Info Island anniversary
May. 21st, 2007 03:17 pmThis weekend marked the first anniversary of the Library 2.0 effort in Second Life. The weekend started with a Victorian fete and fireworks show. Scar & I had been working on the fireworks thing for weeks and I think it came off really well. He came over and we ate brie (triple cream!) & pate with strawberries and chocolate martinis as we sat side-by-side with our laptops. It is funny how hard it is to remember that one can communicate in this world when doing things together in SL. *LOL*
I didn't get to enjoy most of the weekend's festivities because life was so busy this weekend. I went to some of Saturday's visions meeting but then headed to Berkeley to help organize the Lubisha and attend Glenn's housewarming. It is so nice to see her back in her house and it looks AMAZING! She made one of othe rooms into a library and most of the book cases are in there, which makes the front rooms look much bigger. All the fresh cream paint and new hardwood floors make it light and airy and just really fabulous looking. I stayed too late though... when I left I found that the 80 to 880 interchange was closed and it took me almost two hours to get home. I just fell over and went to sleep upon arrival.
Sunday I woke up about 6:30 and went inworld for a little while. Then I did some life maintenance things and got ready for the CoG meeting. There was a Where's George gather at Lanesplitter Pizza (where we always have our Berkeley gathers). It was Lanesplitter's anniversary so they didn't open until noon, but we got in and I bought an excellent sundried tomato, spinach, gorgonzola and garlic on thick crust to carry off to the CoG meeting. It was fun seeing my George buddies and swapping money to take to Colorado in a few weeks.
The CoG meeting went better than I fear. No one stoned me for bringing up "the topic" one more time. *sigh* And there wasn't any other business really so we were done by 3:30. I think that is a record. Everyone hung around though and chatted and ate (besides my pizza Glenn had lots of housewarming leftovers) and it was just really nice. I headed home and spent a little time at a Tao de Ching talk in SL. Russell got home from Santa Barbara and we finished watching Shortbus. I think I need to buy that movie, just because I foresee myself talking about it to people. We'll probably watch the commentaries and extras this week.
This week! Tonight I have to shop and start cooking for Tuesday dinner. Then tomorrow *is* Tuesday dinner. Wednesday is the SJ Rep, Thursday is the Pagan Sing. This coming weekend is BayCon. Hopefully somewhere in there I'll see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marypcb and sbisson. The following week is just as crazy and then I fly to Denver for SLA. I think I need a vacation! (And I just got back from one.)
