Last night,
cattitude and I went to Vanguard, the monthly Seattle fandom social. This month it was at the home of
kate_schaefer and her husband Glenn (who is not on LJ or DW as far as I know).
I've been wanting to get to one of these since we moved here, but logistics of one sort or another (ranging from that month's being way out in the suburbs, to my being out of town) had been getting in the way. So, we took a couple of buses over to Wallingford, for a couple of hours' pleasant conversation with a variety of people.
I had a long, pleasant conversation with Glenn, Elinor Busby (who I knew from ages ago in A Women's Apa, but hadn't met in person), and a woman named Keir who I had never met before, sitting in a quiet spot in the living room. Plus other shorter interactions with a variety of people, though as Kate noted she had been too busy hosting to say much more than hello with us. I should get together with her when she doesn't have a couple of dozen guests, including small children. (We manage to talk in Madison, it should be possible in Seattle or Bellevue.)
