99.999% of today was fantastic —
I finally got to meet my agent, Michelle Brower, for lunch :D. She was as cool as I thought she’d be ;) — we had a great time talking, it was so good to finally meet her in person! I can’t wait to see her more on and off during the convention :D.
Then, Rachel and I met up and did the Museum of Natural History — the dinosaur skeletons in particular. Super fun.
Then-then — I met up with Mary Rodgers, Lilah Wild, Amy Lau, Danielle Friedman and Sam Schreiber again for dinner at a fabulous tapas bar, where we drank sangria, chatted, and watched flaminco dancing.
And thennnn at the end of the night — you may have noticed the lack of pictures in this post, alas — I forgot my awesome new phone in a cab :P. Bah.
So peeved at myself! There’s nothing for it, but for me to feel dumb, so grr and double grr. I called in to the lost and found for taxis and put in a claim, but my hopes are low. I’ll do the insurance thing tomorrow (the claims center is closed right now) and I’ll give the lost and found a call in the AM, but grrr.
Mostly, I’m peeved about losing the pictures. I can deal with getting a new phone, I can suck up paying the cash, but I took some really great pictures this trip — and this is the first time I’ve been a photo person in years, really. I’m sad to have lost them, and bummed that even if I do get a new phone, it probably won’t be till Thurs, too late for more photo ops. The whole thing is irritating.
Anyhow. Trying to concentrate on the awesomeness of agent and friends — and editor lunch tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me to get good news at the lost and found tomorrow morning, please.
