~~~ The World Science Fiction Convention went well. Art sold, people I hadn't seen in decades dropped by, new people dropped by. I bought a few small items from other vendors, and from the art show. I got to meet Der-Shing Helmer (webcomics creator: The Meek, Mare Internum) in person. I dropped by Black Moon, a party room set up as a bar in a converted spaceship in the universe of the TV series The Expanse; very nicely done.
~~~ I had a booth at a small outdoor festival in the central valley, and that went well, too, in much the same ways. And, unlike last year, there were no thunderstorms just over every horizon, or gusts of wind; just warm sun and cool, breezy shade.
~~~ No more vending until Further Confusion, early in 2019. But I want to get a lot of things ready for next year; mainly art and improved displays.
~~~ Many of the usual long-term projects continue nicely: studio more orderly, more work space, time budgeting, new materials. Others go very slowly: tiny control computers, use of small machine tools, tracking down more of my early work to document it. I hope the time budgeting will help.
~~~ I will be 80 years old on October 15th. I have now accumulated about three lifetimes worth of projects. Statistics are against me, but I am stubborn, and your work inspires me.
