Sounds like a shiny event, Traevynn. Wish I could be there.

Wish you could be here too, Gayle. It's been far too long since I've seen the BC crew. If you happen to be in Victoria next weekend (Independent's Day get-away for me and mine), come say "Hi"! It would be great to see you again.
Hope this weekend goes super well for you!
Cheers :mrgreen:

I live no where near this event and I'm excited.

-shakes his fist in the general direction of Seattle for being not close at all, but close enough to be tempting and inviting, and in the end, infuriating at a distance-

Seriously though, knock 'em dead.

Good luck, Robyn. Wish I could be there.

(But I will be at the San Diego one, along with several other former/current CSTS organisers!)

Traevynn · **Posted:** Fri Jul 16, 2010 9:02 pm

Thanks William! The tickets you "Seattle-ized" look gorgeous! You are totally awesome! I put you on our brochure that lists the sponsors/donors/shiny people that helped our event. I'll send it to you if you like.

Gayle - have a great time at Comic Con! It sounds like a fantastic place to have CSTS. Send a wave from Seattle to all the organizers you meet up with!

*deep breath* :shock:

samatwitch · **Posts:** 766 **Signal Origin:** Vancouver, BC

Keep breathing and keep smiling, Robyn, you'll have a fantastic event, as always. Can't wait to hear more about it afterwards.

Traevynn · **Posted:** Sun Jul 18, 2010 11:20 pm

Xie xie, Gayle! BTW - Cora made sure to say 'hi' to me and she also won an AWESOME raffle basket! One of these days, you'll make it to the event and I'll be sure to give you a big hug. :wink:

This year the event was the smoothest and least problematic so far. We've learned to be flexible and not worry too much about things taking longer than predicted and it also helped to have gotten a few extra minutes to stay late and clean up.
I'm sore and stiff and running on almost no sleep today but it felt like it was a job well done. The live music was fantastic with Vixy & Tony and Marian Call and all the local musicians that joined in at the last minute: SJ Tucker, Sunnie Larsen, and Betsy Tinney. The last song was, of course, "Mal's Song" and hearing it sung with enthusiasm by a large crowd made me tear up a bit; "honestly, there could be tears." :cry:

We used William Pace's beautiful boarding passes that he designed and was kind enough to modify with our date and a Seattle stamp on the back. There were many comments on the commemorative ticket with statements about saving them forever.

I have to agree that mine is going into a place of honor.
More details to follow and photos will be posted on Flickr (do we still have a CSTS Flickr page?) and the Meetup site.
Signing off for now - gotta go count raffle tickets to see what the donations will be.
Cheers!

Sounds like a great event, Robyn. Congratulations!
