I'm reaching the very edge you know

Finally I'm home, after Mary-esque travel adventures on the return trip (though they don't bear a dry retelling). I won't be here but a couple of days, and then it's off to Atlanta for FroliCon; so my internet time is rather limited as I dash around playing catch-up.*

Even so, I wanted to let everyone know that I'm back, and that I had a fantastic time bopping around the Oklahoma Steam Expo with my old friend Jess and her family. Jess and James (her husband) truly went above and beyond to provide everyone with a cool crashing space for downtime and refreshments in the hospitality suite, and their buddy Nico did a great job keeping the guests and vendors fed.

ALL HAIL.

Likewise, it was good to see and hang with O.M. Grey and Erica (albeit briefly), and marvelous to meet my other fellow guests – including Bev, who I've known online for a bit. Lovely folks abounded, and good times were had.

I signed lots of books, which was great, though hilarity ensued when I realized I was abbreviating the event "OKSEX 2011″. Not my finest moment of cluefulness, I'll grant you.** Like one of my Twitter followers responded, it sounds less like "midwestern steampunk party" than "a year of loving moderately."

Anyway, now it's time for me to get errand-running and work-doing, as this is my first full weekday home in about a week and a half – and I'll be digging myself out for the next few hours, hoping to be productive before suppertime. Yes, well. A girl can dream, can't she?

* Basically, I'm allowed to blog and/or surf until my laundry is ready to go into the dryer.

** At events, I often sign things with a note of where it occurred – i.e., "Cherie Priest, Nova Albion 2011″ or somesuch. I feel like a signature alone looks terribly naked.
