Though our team got trounced, a fun time was had by all. It was great to get out of Chez Quinn for good behavior, though the tracking anklet cramped my style a bit. But what I liked most was meeting with good author friends and talking about writing. In the middle of the month. I don't usually get to do that more than once a month at our chapter meetings. Awesome.
A close second was eating at Neato Burrito. Man, I love that place. I keep threatening to compose a sonnet about all the wonderful goodness encapsulated in that eating establishment. It's not just the great food. The ambiance is a major factor as well. And their sour cream-feta-jalapeno salsa will need its very own verse at least.
We had a good time, saw some great roller derby and the freaks were letting their freak flags fly in force last night. I saw some truly wonderful characters that I admired from afar who got my writer juices pumping. Because some of them will definitely be making cameos in my stories. Just like my backyard carnies.
I almost rode my motorcycle to the bout, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. It's been a rough summer for me. I've only been out on the cycle about three times. And I'm jonesing for a ride.
*sigh* Doesn't she look so lonely? |
So what did you do this weekend? Do you go anywhere in particular to watch fun, real-life characters? What would you write a sonnet in tribute to? Inquiring minds wish to know!

I had a great time with you guys! I hope I wasn't too annoying with my critique of strategy and stuff. LOL Nothing like someone coming into a sport on day one and spouting off about the rules. *eyeroll* But I loved the atmosphere of it and can't wait to go again!
And I would TOTALLY recite your sonnet about Neato Burrito everywhere I traveled, especially the part about the jalapeno-feta salsa.
Ha! Not at all. I enjoyed dissecting the defense.
And on the sonnet? I had a feeling you would!
