[17:15] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:15] <DeryniBot> Hail and Well Met, KK
[17:15] <Mistyck> hi KK
[17:15] <Shiral> Hello Katherine
[17:15] <Mistyck> how are you?
[17:15] <baxtercaroline> Hey KK
[17:15] <Shiral> =o)
[17:15] <kirienne> Hi Katherine
[17:15] <Bynw[GMing]> hiyas KK
[17:15] <Samuel> Hello KK
[17:15] <KK> Hi, guys.
[17:15] * Steffy4s3 passing Terry some duct tape to stay in the room
[17:15] <Barticus1> howdy KK
[17:15] <Steffy4s3> hi KK
[17:15] <the_Bee> hello KK
[17:15] <TerryOBrien> You'd think they'd get the bugs out of these Transfer Portals.  <mutter> <mutter>
[17:15] <TerryOBrien> Good evening, Katherine.
[17:15] <Mistyck> lol
[17:15] <Harvey> Suede bikini it is, then!  One day down.  Three days of costumes to go.
[17:15] <Harvey> Or is the suede bikini only the evening?
[17:15] <Shiral> Terry, I think that one just hasn't been used for a while
[17:16] <baxtercaroline> Sounds like evening wear Harvey
[17:16] <Mistyck> well I thought we were going with the suede vest and denim skirt for one of those days
[17:16] <Steffy4s3> did you check it for energy fluxuations?
[17:16] <Bynw[GMing]> did you have a good week Katherine?
[17:16] <Mistyck> KK:  we're discussing what costumes I can wear for GenCon
[17:16] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, KK
[17:17] <Barticus1> a duct tape miniskirt?
[17:17] <Steffy4s3> and beating up on peer as usual
[17:17] <Mistyck> maybe!
[17:17] <baxtercaroline> Duct tape is a popular choice!
[17:17] <Shiral> Oh dear, our guest of honor is very quiet
[17:17] <KK> A good week, even if no writing got done.
[17:17] <the_Bee> it's a tossup between duct tape and denim
[17:17] <Shiral> Ah well, there are weeks like this
[17:17] <Barticus1> go with the duct tape
[17:17] <Mistyck> lol
[17:17] <Harvey> Two days down, Mistyck.  If you include duct tape, that's three days down.
[17:17] <KK> But we now have four rooms where none existed before. The builders were busy bunnies.
[17:17] <baxtercaroline> What about duct tape and denim?
[17:17] <Mistyck> cool, KK
[17:17] <kirienne> great KK
[17:17] <Shiral> Good heavens, they certainly have been
[17:17] <Harvey> Your rooms are spawning.
[17:17] <the_Bee> mistyck's costume
[17:17] <Barticus1> like tribbles?
[17:18] <Harvey> At the rate they're growing, your house will cover Ireland with 7 years.
[17:18] <Mistyck>
[17:18] <Shiral> It must have been that kind of week; I essentially have a new bathroom in my apartment
[17:18] <kirienne> LOL Harvey
[17:18] <Steffy4s3> did you check them for rabbits Katherine?
[17:18] <TerryOBrien> Katherine: are these rooms in that center section of the manor? The one that looked burned-out back in '87?
[17:18] <KK> We've been carrying things, tossing things in dumpsters--and my last house guest went home on Thursday.
[17:18] <Shiral> The only bad thing is, having the ceiling fixed and the floor fixed kind of made it impossible to work on the computer
[17:18] <Mistyck> when do the next ones arrive, KK?
[17:18] <Harvey> I hope you didn't accidentally put any houseguests in the dumpster.
[17:18] <marimacc> House guests. although often welcome, can be very tiring I find
[17:19] <KK> The rooms are above the kitchen--what will now be Scott's office, with a bathroom/dressing area, a sewing room for me, and a new laundry room
[17:19] <Shiral> That's what happens only to house guests that misbehave, Harvey
[17:19] * cj has joined #Deryni_Destinations

[17:23] <Bynw[GMing]> hiyas Kim!
[17:23] * Mistyck senses that KK's in a really good mood tonight!
[17:23] <Sedina> Yeah, but if I didn't go there this weekend, my college roomie would have shot me for missing her wedding
[17:23] <KK> Weddings are fun.
[17:23] <Shiral> KK, What are the dates of the Minneapolis Con? I don't think we ever got that up on the website. <Blush>
[17:23] <Mistyck> yes they are!
[17:23] <Shiral> That would have been messy, Sedina <G>
[17:23] <cj> first I've heard of it
[17:23] <KK> July 3-6.
[17:23] <Sedina> yeah, especially since I was her maid of honor

[17:24] <Mistyck>
[17:24] <kirienne> LOL Sedina
[17:24] <Shiral> No, This is the first I've heard, too
[17:24] <cj> ah...
[17:24] <Shiral> I think...
[17:24] <Mistyck> what's the name of the Con?
[17:24] <Sedina> Just to warn you, KK, there is a lot of road construction going on in that area...just to make you really experience the "joys" of the Twin Cities
[17:24] <Shiral> I knew about Gencon, but not Minneapolis
[17:24] <KK> I'll get you those questions tomorrow, Shiral--and a partial list of what needs updating on the wedsite.
[17:24] <Shiral> Okay
[17:25] <Shiral> Great =o)
[17:25] <KK> I'm not too concerned about the roads.
[17:25] <Shiral> She's packing her flying carpet =o)
[17:25] <KK> I'm being collected on the 3rd by Naomi Kritzer.
[17:25] <Bynw[GMing]> whats in Minn? and what date??
[17:25] <Mistyck> KK:  go see the USO at Minn airport...there's a wealth of history of military there!
[17:25] <Harvey> She is a special guest.  They should supply her a driver. 
[17:25] <KK> Have any of you read her first novel, Fires of the Faithful?
[17:26] <Shiral> Nope
[17:26] <Mistyck> not yet
[17:26] <kirienne> not I
[17:26] <Sedina> actually, the airport is in Bloomington, not too far from where you'll be at.  I just thought that I should warn you in case you wanted to go see anything else in the area
[17:26] <Mistyck> I absolutely loved the USO at Minn Airport
[17:26] <KK> Well worth reading.  I've got the second book in ms. now to blurb.
[17:26] <the_Bee> what's it about?
[17:26] <KK> Sequel to the first book.
[17:26] <Harvey> Which author?
[17:27] <Mistyck> Naomi Kritzer
[17:27] <KK> Starts out in a music conservatory.  Shades of Deryni flavor.  She learned well.
[17:27] <Mistyck> ooh, cool!
[17:27] <Steffy4s3> ok i missed the author name
[17:27] <Steffy4s3> oh???
[17:27] <KK> She's one to watch.

[17:29] <Shiral> There's NO way I'm going to a bookstore on June 21st! <G>
[17:29] <Kelric> considering I'm getting my copy from someone who preordered at B+N but needs a spanish copy not an english copy.

[17:30] <RainbowDragon> I see
[17:30] <Harvey> Everybody that goes to Minneapolis says to go to the big-ass mall there.
[17:30] <KK> So progress is being made on numerous fronts.
[17:30] <Steffy4s3> cool katherine, i am wearing out my copy of KKB LOL
[17:30] <Ghostgames> Ooh, Katherine, that reminds me, I lost the contact info for your editor (to inquire about advertising the Deryni Adventure Game in ITKS and vice versa....).... Can you email that to me again when you get a chance?
[17:30] <Mistyck> mall is just a hop skip and jump away from the airport
[17:30] <KK> I understand it's right across the street from the hotel--or is that the one in Indianapolis?

[17:40] <Steffy4s3> sounds like very busy week Katherine
[17:40] * VirtualBabe swoons to think of Katherine in a full formal gown
[17:40] <TerryOBrien> Don't know if I ever could qualify for a white tie dinner. Don't even have a black tie. <g>
[17:40] <Shiral> For one thing, men are wearing white ties <G>
[17:40] <KK> Yep, but I hope to be back on some kind of schedule by this time next week.
[17:40] <kirienne> LOL Terry
[17:41] <Shiral> No ties at all
[17:41] * kirienne has never even been to a black tie dinner
[17:41] <KK> I must also start seriously organizing my packing for the trip.

[17:42] <kirienne> good luck with that Katherine, packing can be a job
[17:42] * Kelric Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[17:42] <Mistyck> KK:  have you had a chance to look over the DATZ submissions or have you already sent those back to Julianne?

[17:42] <Shiral> Sure can be
[17:42] * kirienne never went to any of the proms either
