And now it's time to kick it!

Actually, no, it's time to sleep, and I couldn't be more excited about that.
I spent today being really sore, achey, sleep depped, and easily irritated. I hope I covered for it okay enough. It was sooooooo worth it, 'cause the party was wonderful, wonderful fun. It felt so nice to do that again, and in such a big space, and to have the big space fill up and for people to have a good time. It's really addictive to have that feeling of a lot of people having a hell of a lot of fun in something you helped create. How I adore my little chosen family.

Thank you to everyone for a great night. Thank you to everyone who came. Thank you to everyone who came that I didn't expect (Rogers!) or put special effort into going (rahna!) Thanks to the dj's, the vj's, the door staff, the performers. Thanks to people who spread the word. Thanks to everyone who helped out, whether leaping to calm and collected crisis management (notably, silmarian and viksin and yaaren), to hanging black plastic, to lending us couches and trucks, to giving us packing peanuts, to making supply runs, to decorating, to running cable. Thanks to everyone who didn't freak out and leave when we had a tricky situation. Thanks to rahna for our super special little sweater creatures. Thanks to djnoise for taking on the risks and the stress of this thing, for being a great friend, and for encouraging me to firedance in front of a whole shitload of people I knew- it was a highlight, and nicely congruent to many good memories. Thanks to S4 for the overall awesomeness, and for making me feel beautiful and special all the time. Thanks for the compliments, especially from those we didn't know who sought us out to share their thanks, thanks for the kisses, for the overdue apologies, and for putting a really kickass beginning on a year I was feeling pretty optimistic about already.

Sappy enough?

Yeah.

Bedtime. But first-

( Three favorites. More soon. )
