PPPPBBBFFTT!!!

It's just meetings and courtcourtcourtcourt. They don't have a feast 
anymore- problems with the hotel-based '12th Night Con' format, and the 
logistics of a feast for an event where 2000 attendees is nothing to raise 
eyebrows about, and more is not unusual. Last 12th Night feast I can 
remember was... uh, 14 years ago. The year after that they did a buffet (at 
the Vertical Event in a Masonic temple in Tacoma) and that was the last 
time I remember feasting. Last few years we've had fair success at getting 
the hotel restaurants to serve a medievalish meal for us, but that's the 
extent of it.

As to the rest, I'm trying to get new clothes done because my weight is 
still fluxuating, and nothing really fits. Besides, I need a new Silly Hat 
(TM)!

I polished off the chocolate today. Figured I'd just do it and get it over 
with. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we diet...
