Where Is The Spring?

The spring just cannot get started this year. There have been four Nor'Easters in a row - getting pretty tired of all this snow. April is almost here, and it is still cold and wet and unpleasant outside.
The Michelangelo curator talk was fascinating. I even managed to stop by and check out the exhibit itself right after it. I wish the exhibit lasted longer, but, given that most of the pieces were loaned from outside of the country, it was probably not feasible. The play reading was interesting; always wonderful to see Kate perform. Both author events at B&N were tremendous - intellectual and fun. I did not attend the CTBUH event, and got very lucky with Monster Mania (I managed to do everything I planned early enough in the day, before some major organizational issues came to the fore). I have wanted to meet Kathleen Turner for years, and it was amazing!
Two of the cons I have been planning to attend - the NJ trek convention and A Tribute to OITNB have been cancelled unfortunately. I am thinking of possibly checking out Shore Leave in MD.
