Weekend
I don't have time to write fully about last weekend, because I still need to catch up on sleep from the same busy weekend. We saw seven different friends groups, a comedy show, a wedding, a historic building, and rain. All told, we drove around 700 miles down and up the Pacific Coast.
I'd particularly like to write about the show, House of Gains. We've been seeing some very high-quality improv recently, and I'd like to do better at pinning that butterfly after the fact.
One small joy was that we managed to transport the pink-champagne cupcakes all the way from SLO to Los Angeles. The frosting typically doesn't travel well outside of refrigeration, but we used a system of cold packs around inverted quart-sized mason jars to make the trip. (We put a cupcake on the lid, then screwed the jar on top of it, giving the frosting and pink chocolate shaving protection for the entire car ride.) Luckily we only had to move three this way, though we might try more in the future.
I also managed to give a Christmas gift I neglected to ship last year: The first issue of a Cenobium, a Hellraiser zine from the 80s(?) which I found unexpectedly in the used section of a comic book store. (See, writing more blog posts probably would have encouraged me to do more research about it while I still had it in my possession, because I can't find much about it now.)
