more Wiscon

Vid party: Pretty fun, mostly with a couch to myself, which led to literal curling at times. I did get some company when maevele and friend were around, yay. Vids looked better when F.lux was turned off, despite being projected on a textured tan wall. My amazing swap skirt came from futuransky, who clearly has no shortage of wonderful clothes, as she was wearing a great minidress with silk-screened octopuses. The sing-along had a few too many newer songs I don't know, but the Occupy vid and a truly amazing Clark/Lex were definite highlights of the show overall. (I can find neither right now but will link the playlist when/if it goes up.)

Farmer's market: Very depopulated in the rain! You could walk at your normal speed and even go around slow people; this unfortunately meant people felt free to stand around doing nothing in the path, but oh well. Even the booths were thin on the ground. But I got delicious foods and admired impossible things like cooking-only foods (golden oyster mushrooms!) and flowers.

• Kalamata olive bread


• Cinnamon roll with frosting (breakfast; too sugary)


• Sugar snap peas (also breakfast; just sweet enough)


• "Hull-less" popcorn named "Baby Rice"


• Pint of strawberries


• Beautiful rosy-red radishes (if oyceter had been here I might have gotten the black spanish radish to share, but that thing was big)


• Cheese curds (2 bags for $6 rainy-day special)


• Chevre with ash


• Little blueberry bread


• Raspberry turnover


• Little rhubarb pie


• Pesto-and-something croissant

So, picnic on more market goodies, then off to the green room to prep for my panel on PONIES Fantastical Girlhood.

Oh yum! And PEAS!

Once I had stolen a spoon from the dessert salon, I ate the pie for breakfast. But the peas were the best!
