Eric: I ain't dead. I'm on vacation.
For those wondering, I am actually on vacation. In the action packed wilds of California. I am typing this at Baycon, for the record, where I am having a lovely time.
The theme this year is... er.... purple.
Purple.
We don't get it, ourselves. But what the Hell, right?
The "since when are there media guests at Baycon" media guest this year is Stephen Furst, who I'll admit I'm more interested in meeting than I was Chase Masterson. Chase Masterson, however, looked vastly better in a tight dress.
It is Baycon. It is that weirdly relaxed and happy take on Conventioneering. It is Memorial Day Weekend, that time of year I am in California, with friends. I have seen Shaenon Garrity. And Darrin "Gav" Bleuel. And Greg and Elizabeth Dean. I have seen my friend Russ, who is smarter than I am in every conceivable way.
I am on vacation.
Dude.

California is nothing special...but I suppose I would say that since I've been living out here almost all of my life.
Enjoy yourself, Eric! California has a lot to offer, regardless of what I say.

Congratulations on your elevation to the royal 'We'! You look good in purple.
Does this event mean you've obtained editorial perogative over and above Websnark? If so, use it with the principles of justice and mercy in mind.
Well, for the most part. Some folks- spammers for example- deserve decapitation as a warning, followed by some really severe punishments for a second offense.

I'd have more of a problem if the theme was Chatruse or Pastel. But that's just me.
By the way, who's Chase Masteron?

Some Star Trek actress, apparently.

Wow -- I suddenly feel horribly, horribly geeky for knowing exactly who Chase Masterson is, and for owning her CD of torch songs, "Thrill of the Chase."
I also feel juvenile for vividly remembering her first appearance on "Deep Space Nine." She was a scantily-clad Dabo girl, Leeta, who visited Dr. Bashir's office to complain of a "chest cold," and it was obvious that Leeta was just coming up with a flimsy excuse to meet the doctor and say, "Hey, look at my chest." (Trek nitpicker Phil Farrand wisely notes that the appropriate prescription would have been a heavy sweater.)
So, yeah! Chase Masterson! Awesome.

Um, that's scary.
I mean, Furst rocked as Vir, but I wouldn't want to see him in a tight dress without a unicorn chaser.
