dancerjodiLast night was just lovely. I met the Supah and we went into Harvard together to meet Tiggerette and my hubby to get in line for http://www.harvardhumanist.org/news/2009/02/09/joss-whedon-2009-cultural-humanism-award-winner (since K works at Harvard U, she was the 2nd person in line - a very long line). B and I walked over to Crazy Doughs in the garage to get us all some dinner (largest pizza box ever) and we ate in line, finishing our dinner off with the remainder of the schmancy cupcakes. I do have to say that they were all very good, but the lemon was my favorite.
Joss was very interesting and entertaining; I'm so glad we went. Its funny that it was sponsored by the school's http://www.harvardhumanist.org/humanism group, and this concept is something I've been thinking of more of late due to life changes, family activities and checking out the local UU church. It was nice to see how the Harvard group had prepared for the Q&A session, selecting video segments from Joss' works and asking relevant questions in that regard. When they opened the floor to the peanut gallery the questions got much less useful (when we saw http://www.bruce-campbell.com/ speak at the Brattle a year or so ago he replied some some of these such questions with "what kind of a jackass question is that?" - Mr. Whedon was much more gracious but the reply would have been appropriate).
After the Q&A there was a signing portion of the eve that though huge (a filled house) went quickly. They said no photos and no personalizing, but the Tiggerette was sneaky and leaned over to tell him that we were celebrating our anniversary, and so when we came up to him from behind her he wrote "Happy Anniversary Brian and Jodi" on our lithograph (already signed by Nathan Fillion, thanks to The Supah at Dragoncon last year). We're going to have it framed artfully on Moody Street with http://local.yahoo.com/info-10234686-frugal-framers-waltham along with my signed ticket stub w/ the date - he always does such a good job of these things. The only question is, where to put this thing? We don't have a ton of wall space in the collectibles room.
It should be a nice rest of the weekend: ballet class, going to the local artist/farm fair http://walthamlandtrust.org/calendar-events/warm-up-to-earth-day-indoor-market and hitting Salem later for http://www.darqsalem.com/ . We're going to my sister's for dinner tomorrow night and hoping to catch the zombies meandering through Somerville/Cambridge before we head out.
Have a wonderful weekend folks!

Date: 2009-04-11 02:21 pm (UTC)I've been thinking about this for a while, ever since I heard an NPR show about it half a year go. The Chaplain is supposed the be super cool. At the time, though, when I went to their website I got the impression it was only for Harvard people. This seems to not be the case. I should check this out.

He does, huh? I think either you or Brian suggested I do that with the Weird Al picture and ticket stub.

Date: 2009-04-11 02:22 pm (UTC)Is that the first time you've been up to Salem for the night? Let me know what you think. I've been the once - opening night - and if it hasn't changed, yeah it's still not worth the drive. Caustic/Gothsicles was WAY more fun last week, except for the normals in the bar and some incidents with potentially spiked drinkies. (Not MY drinkie, I don't leave those in a strange place)
*Hugs* Happy Anniversary! I love reading the schmoopy!
