Family Party
May. 28th, 2011 11:14 pmMy cousin's wedding was good, and the reception afterwards was good - the only thing was that in between we had about three hours to kill. So we drank coffee, and then we went to a Blockbuster closing-out sale. I now own a $6.99 copy of My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?. And then we visited my grandparents' graves; and by that time we figured it was ok to show up at the golf club where the banquet was to be held.
I learned my cousin has a suit of chain mail - a few years ago, he bought 50 lbs of rings and, with three weeks until Hallowe'en, roped his friends, family and co-workers into helping him link them into mail. I also learned he and a few of his friends went to a LARPing weekend once, but were too scared by the other fans (possibly the panda furry, but more likely the self-cutters) to repeat the experiment. His sister, OTOH, ran into a crowd of cosplayers from Anime North last night and seems to have been intrigued, once she decided she wasn't just hallucinating them.
ETA - here are my parents and brother killing time at the Starbucks, and here's green_trilobite with his iPad.
