I had a lovely lovely visit with my family this spring as well. My Judy came and spent a few days with me in February, accompanying my Poppy as he went to a trade show held out at Navy Pier. They actually stayed at my place, and then Judes stayed a few extra days and we marathonned some Jake 2.0 and pretty much deleted my store of wine. Then I went down to Florida for MegaCon, which marked my first occasion interviewing Ms Allison Mack face to face. She's a lovely, bright, delightful young lady and that interview should run at allison-mack.com next month, with a companion piece going up at MediaSharx at about the same time. Judes had a blast at the convention, and she got to meet Marc Singer (Donovan from V), Noah Hathaway (Atreyu from The Neverending Story) and we spend Saturday in the autograph line for Allison, who gave my mother a huge hug. How's that for classy?
The last week-end, Deirds and her friend Christine came up to visit and we bummed around Chicago, and spent out nights watching big vast chunks of Odyssey 5. Because yes, I am ebil, hooking them on a show which ends with an evil unresolved cliff-hanger. We also caught the Friday night Frodo-A-Go-Go at the Royal George, and got to marvel at Vuch as an Ent. Any Chicago folk who haven't caught the show yet, you've two weeks before Vuch and Freds move on--so what the hell are you waiting for?
And I finally got around to uploading the photos off my camera!
