11/10 Recap with Katia B.

The session on Monday with Katia B. was nuts with easily the biggest turnout we’ve had yet.  Not only that, but we hit capacity really fast, and were turning folks away by 7:30 . . . and we turned away a LOT.

Hell, we even turned away two close friends (sorry Larkin and Jeff!)….so if you want to be absolutely sure you can get in, PLEASE show up fifteen minutes before.  We were were already half-full at that point, so that may not even hold true for much longer.

Not only that, but several members of the media turned out, and when we find out a little bit more about that, we’ll definitely post something here.

In any case, we certainly weren’t expecting that much of a ruckus (as welcome as it is , so we’re going to switch things around a little for the next one.  One, we’ve got permission to abscond with a bunch of the tall chairs from downstairs, which, with a little reorganizing, will create a lot more space and help the back row see a lot better.  Two, I can’t count worth a DAMN, so Bill is going to handle the money from here on out.

Also, if you haven’t noticed, we accidentally had our camera on the wrong setting, so the photos aren’t at the best resolution…..still, hopefully they’ll give you an idea.

BTW, that last photo just took me 45 minutes to upload.  Apparently Katia is too pretty for the internet, cause she broke it.

Oh, and that is SO alcohol abuse if that isn’t a pint of cola.  We’re just going to all pray it was.

In any case, we had a slew of contests as usual with prizes from Atomic Books.  If I remember correctly, this was the winning entry for the James Bond themed contest.

Special thanks to Katia B. for doing a wonderful job, Dionysus for drinks and eats, Lynn, the owner of Dionysus for letting us tear up and put together her dining room (and getting Bill and I positively lit into the wee hours of the morning after everyone left), and Bill for helping me shove around furniture and for stopping me on multiple occasions from handing away $20 change on a $5 bill.

Next session is November 24th with Viola van Wilde of Gilded Lily Burlesque.  There’ll be a post tomorrow with some more announcements and in a few days another one with the new flyer.
