Dawg and I have confirmed tickets for TequilaCon. We are excited to see you there too, so please show up so we can drink tequila with you. (Lisa, we will miss you. We will have drinks in your honor.)
Tuesday I walked to my favorite deli to grab a sandwich and this time, unlike any other time, while I was walking to the deli the pigeons who hang out in the trees and on the sill of the building at W 55 and 10th decided to fly and flock around me. A few birds even touched my jacket and blew my hair around. I just kept walking and they kept following. When I got to the crosswalk at 10th they stopped following. I went into the deli for my food, came out with it very well bagged, and came back to 10th and W 55. The birds were not in any type of formation when I got to them, but they all returned to the sidewalk, swarming me again. And they kept hanging around me — behind me, to my sides, in front of me, in the air. I’m thinking it’s my cockatiel coat. Or I’ve been inducted into the flock. Whichever works for me, I love pigeons. (And squirrels.)
I got to the last chapter of Dewey on the E train Tuesday night and tears were popping over the edge of my eyes so I had to stop reading. Dewey was 19 during that last chapter. It is not a happy ending, as Sybil warned me. (Thank you, Sybil.)

Isn’t there a sappy ballad about the bird thing ?
(Hey, Dawg – I gave you a cue. Take it from here.)
Note to self: remember to bring a mermaid tattoo for Poppy again this year.
I hope to see you guys at TequilaCon. I really want to go, but am not totally sure yet if I can.
Woo Hoo!!!! Awesome times.
Can’t wait until we know where so we can get hotels but my flight and car are booked.
Tequila! Tequila! Tequila!
Boo to the end of Dewey! Had I known it was a tear jerker I never would have gotten it. They ployed me with a cute kitten on the front!
I’ll have to see if I can find a post from my old blog about my pigeon friends in San Francisco…
Pigeons? Do you like the rats too?
Send me your details so I know when you’re going. That will help me figure out if/when I will go.
Bert, who also loves pigeons, is one of my favorite Sesame Street characters.
Just thinking of that ending makes me want to cry!!!
That is hilarious (forme, anyway!) about the pigeons. Feathered rats with wings.
I wish I was going to TC!:(
Oh thank GOD you guys are going!
Partayyyy!
(are you thinking of going to ConFab?)
I want to go to TequilaCon… but I’ll be *very* knocked up at that point. And pigeons? Eww. Squirrels? Terrify me.
I can assure you I am still bitching at my Math teacher for having a 7am final the Monday after TC thus preventing me from going!
I was really looking forward to seeing people again too! (Considering I spent exactly 2 minutes in Orlando in October.)
Love the pic–so very pretty but not as pretty as you;-)
