Hopping Along

It is nearly the end of May already, things are just hopping along.

Zippers did not disappoint - wonderful, loud night of irreverent fun! Went to another great mineral show in Edison. Though it did feel like the selections were somewhat less varied than last year, the overall experience was still very much worth it - there were very nice exhibits, plus I walked away with a couple of neat purchases for my collection. Perlman is utterly brilliant, goes without saying - my grandmother and I have enjoyed the concert immensely. Chiller turned out be extremely successful this time around, met some wonderful actors. Both the book launch and the NYC archaeology talk were excellent - both involved people directly responsible for the subject matter, who gave interesting presentations. I do wish I had managed to get the tickets for the Saturday show of Letters Live, it turned out to have more of the names I really wanted to see perform. Alas, but seeing Cumberbatch and Dancy perform during the Friday show was fantastic nonetheless. The Discovery panel at the Vulture Festival turned out to be a resounding success, so much better than anticipated - lots of familiar faces of fellow fans, and I got to grab a quick selfie with Michelle Yeoh!
