Hi gang! I hope you all had a great week!
I am still dealing with re-entry pains after spending the week in Florida. I attended the Coastal Magic Convention in Daytona, bracketed by two days on either end in Orlando. This is my third year at Coastal and I continue to find it a fun conference. It is focused on all types of romance and urban fantasy, and is generally a low-key and casual event. If you are looking to dip your toes in attending a con, especially one that is not specifically GLBT focused (but has a lot of representation), or just want something fun and easy, this is a good one to consider. Plus, Florida in February!
I also had a wonderful time in Orlando! I am a Disney junkie, and so are Joel, Rich, and Anna. So we did a day in Animal Kingdom, some time in Disney Springs, and then a marathon day in Magic Kingdom. We were there from before park opening straight through until after closing. It was exhausting, but super fun. And bonus, I got to see Joel’s recording booth while I was there and let me tell you, it is even tinier than it looks on screen! (Also he has super cute dogs)
Now I am trying to settle back into the real world and get caught up with everything before Spring Break hits. And (hold me) I go on a college visit with my daughter in two weeks!
