I attended a reading by Ursula Vernon. Yay!
A. and I drove into Richmond for lunch at Crafted. The hotel restaurant was behind on orders so not seating anyone else for a while, and I didn’t feel like eating burgers and hot dogs at a buffet. Crafted was _amazing_. I had a couple Equinoxes. A. and I split a large pretzel (one of the best I’ve ever had) and some wings (excellent, and the two sauces were both good — bbq and korean, IIRC). She had most of both, and I had a side salad with a really, really, really good dressing. We asked for advice on where to find vegan baked goodies and they recommended Minglewood. Service was really amazing.
Minglewood was incredible. I got 6 chocolate cupcakes, because a chocolate cake was not available (if I ever plan to be in Richmond again, I’ll pre-order one, for sure). I also got a couple brownies and a chocolate chunk cookie. Everything was amazing. We got the cupcakes for K.’s birthday (which is later, but why not have some fun while we are together?) and sang Happy Birthday to her.
I attended the Masquerade and took pictures of the Genshin Impact costumes for A. It was fun, a nice mix of people who did really great, creative crafty stuff, and people who got things on Amazon and adapted them or just wore them as is but with some in-character delightfulness. Good crowd!
