Having responded to a couple of these, I feel obligated to post it in my journal

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember. Don't send a message, leave a comment here. Next, re-post this in your notes/LJ and see how many people leave a memory about you.

The See America Unintentionally Club: Cynagua Coronet/Quincy, xxii and October Crown/Kelly's Kamp xxiii.

Hitting the Caldecott Tunnel at 5PM every Friday Night - "Smoke Two Joints" on KFOG.

Taking the last load of crap from the Oakland house to the San Leandro dump. FREE AT LAST!

You as Princess in the burgundy wool Norman overdress.

The quilt you made me out of velvet & denim scraps - still have it, still cherish it.

TOO MANY GOOD TIMES TO COUNT!

AMEN!

Zamora! Those bastards don't even have the grace to pray over their dead. No Services indeed!

The scavenger hunt at a long-ago Ducal Prize. Trying to sing some Supremes (?) song with you that I didn't know well enough. "Swimming" in the river there, because it was so dang hot.

That was the most fun I've ever had at a scavenger hunt. We won as I recall. It's the conversation as we tried to cool off in the river that I remember....

Memorable indeed, conversation especially. And yes, I think we did win! One of my favorite SCA memories, that occasion. :^)

Didn't see you at P-con (did I?), but did see other folks. OMG R. is HUGE! She can't be that tall; I'm not old enough for her to be that grown up. I refuse to allow it.

I was there, but I didn't see you either, I saw your lovely daughter, who is also amazingly tall. I refuse to believe that we have aged in the slightest in spite of impending teenagers.

I don't know you well, but I have a strong sense of liking you. So, I don't have a particular shared memory; but a whole set of small memories that add up to This Is Someone I Like.

I think it might have first been you, at the shop, who got a good look at exactly how tightly I knit. If it was, you made a comment to the rest of the shop that I was getting sock gauge with the Cashsoft 4ply.

Thanks :) I think it was Sandi who identified you as another 'angry' knitter - and she should know.

Coffee at the old Expresso Garden Cafe.

I wish we could have done a bit more of that.

You always carry a book or a notebook and pen; sometimes all three.

Re: Memory punkmom March 4 2009, 06:31:15 UTC

I miss that place! I still always have a notebook and pen, and now I almost always have knitting with me.

Today I had a sock and a vest.

The good news is that there is a new coffee house opened in my neighborhood. Roy's Station is a great little coffee house owned by local Japantown residents and it's lovely. I don't think they'll have music, but at least they have good coffee, Oregon Chai, Moon Pies and pork buns.
