So. Portland is a thing that happened.
(This is actually Irish from about ten days ago but I'm re-posting it now so I have some hope in hell of figuring out where I was when I went on vacation.)
I'm ... not at all sure what to make of what happened. It seems like we made considerable progress being a Thing That Exists as far as Grimm production and cast are concerned? Or maybe a People Who Exist. One of the two. And it was a lot of fun, the other stuff. We saw a Cirque show (Totem), we saw a Delta Rae concert, we had lunch with a friend a couple times, we hit up Powells for an amount of money I am ashamed to speak of (but oh the tasty books I got, except one), we walked all over Portland or at least certain areas of it. Saw a couple outdoor settings. It was, overall, a really productive and relaxing trip. Even if I did get sick for a couple of days, and I'm still trying to shake this cough.
But there's not much in the way of concrete information there about a few vital things, such as how we're received? Does the cast talk about us? We do have reasonable evidence that someone has been talking to them about us, but who? How? In what light? Argh.
Anyway. I'm back. I'm mostly recovered. Recovered enough at least to restart my exercise routine, which, ow. And scaling it up a bit for Dragon*Con, double ow. Although it's hard to say what Dragon*Con will be this year. There's not nearly as many people going who I want to meet as I'd expected. So we'll see how that goes, but at least I'll be fit and look awesome in costumes. And there may be panels. I have to see what various tracks are doing.
