Ooh! A new thread!

I’m really really really excited! THF and I are making a bunch of stuff for everyone, and we found something awesome in Mexico for the GAPAs. (Which we’re giving them/you at the Kokonvention). We would get one for everyone, but we only have so much money…

And yeah. I’m excited!

[I assume you mean Washington state? It would really help to be specific when you post, since we have sufficient confusion sorting out the Washington, D.C. event. Thanks. –Rebecca]

I don’t know if I will be there on the fifteenth, but I am SURE about the tenth. But my mom didn’t actually get me signed up for the singing thing, so the fifteenth is a definite possibility.

Speaking of singing, did any of you watch the show where they pick the new “Grease” stars?

If so, you’ll know Laura. Yeah, I come from the same town as Laura! I was so happily surprised to see her there! Yeah! She played Dorothy in one of our towns “Wizard of Oz” plays. (The audience liked the play so much they continued it farther into the year.) Kendall (I dunno her last name) played Dorothy the first time, and I got t watch them rehearse. But yesh, I come from ze same town as zee Laura! Yay!

Sorry. That had nothing to do with the Kokonvention subject.

Alice – I would love to go to a Washington state kokonvention, but unless Panda and I do some uber-incredible-blow-their-minds-off-their-rockers sweet talking, I don’t think we will be able to come.

A Kokonvention is a get-together of Musers and their parents. Chicago MBers held one last year. Now Rosanne, Lady Bunniful, and I are organizing a double Kkon to be held in Washington, D.C., on August 10 and 15.

18- That doesn’t matter. I live in NJ, I don’t know how far away but probably a few hours, and I’m going to one. It’s not worth missing, anyway. Bring an mp3 player, book, headphones, and any other means of portable entertainment that you want and you’ll do fine.

18 (rabbity) – 4 hours? That’s about how far I am (if not farther), and I’m going. I might be able to come to NJ, though. Hmm…

25 (Traggle) – Yes!! I’ve been dying to go to Boston for years! I lived there for several years, and maybe that will be a good excuse for my parents to take me there. It does take ages to get there, though…

27 (rabbity) – It’s a day (or two, depending how many you’re going to), and you’ll probably be eating. I think we’re going to a restaurant, but the GAPAs can answer that better than I can. Actually, it’s a requirement that parents come!

27-Just one day each. And, um, Robert-is the food place called The National Press Club? I think that is the one he said…

Kt lives in Texas and is going, and Cappy lives, well, she just said, so most people seem to be prepared for the long haul. Yay for me-I only have an hour or so drive!

Here is the information from the last thread…

The GAPAs have been conferring amongst themselves. In typically all-embracing GAPA style, we’ve decided to hold two Kokonventions: a big one on August 15, and a smaller one on August 10 for those who can’t make the other one.
We’re still working on a program of events for each. Right now, the main difference is the August 10 will have three GAPAs present (Rosanne, Robert, and Rebecca), whereas August 15 will have just two (no Rosanne, alas).
Soâ€¦ roll call, please. Who’s still interested?

Here’s the current list:

Parent(s) required. We also need to have emails from them giving permission. As we get the scheduling information settled, we will send it to the parents on our list.

NOTE TO ALL: At this stage, please be aware we do not really know who is coming which date. The attendance lists in post 32 are only tentative. Also, we have not heard from all the parents of those who have expressed an interest.

I can’t wait, I’ve got it marked on my calender with HPBs all over the place. I’m not sure about bringing a poncho and goggles, ’cause that would be too hot. Maybe I’ll just bring an extra set of clothes. Will we really need them?

Larry Gonick, who experienced pie-ing while on the road promoting his Smart Pies book, strongly recommends that we avoid whipped cream. He says the high butterfat content makes it hard to remove, and you smell like sour milk for days. He suggests shaving-cream pies instead. I think I’d rather be pied with something edible, though. Maybe non-dairy whipped-cream substitute? Clearly some research is in order.

I looked it up online, and one site says sticking peeled and cored apples in a food processor with some water makes a really non-messy (hey, you don’t smell like cheeze after and it doesn’t stain) pie filling.

easy pie filling:
1. peel some apples.
2. cut them into slices.
3. take out the cores.
4. stick them in a food processor or bender.
5. add one tablespoon water for each apple.
6. blend.
7. stick in a tin pie form.
8. cover for journey with tin foil.
9. uncover.
10. throw.

Also, the pie recipes were on topic, suggesting what fillings might be used for pie-ing (in response to comment 54).

ATTENTION! There is one thing the GAPAs would like to request: Please bring a pie. Not a real pie — a fake, symbolic, or “dry” pie. Any fairly substantial combination of materials will be fine: fabric, cardboard, foam rubber, whatever. It can be realistic or stylized, whichever you prefer. A strap on the back (e.g., elastic) will make it easier to manipulate.

(We’ll try to have a few extras on hand for Kokonventioneers who can’t make their own.)

85 (Robert) – Cool! I have a pie from my Kokopelli costume next year, and I’ll make some more, too! *dies from pie-making fun*

Are we going to have a fake (fake? what do you mean fake? any pie is real! even if it’s made of aluminum foil and paper plates! gah!) pie war?

I know people can make their own pies without any help, but for the pie for my Kokopelli costume last year, I used an aluminum pie tin with a colored paper plate stapled to it – and for the handle in the back, I just used the extra pipe cleaners from my Kokopelli hair

The pies are needed for the greeting ritual (which we’ll invent and elaborate on as the spirit moves us) and would be useful props for any number of other activities.

As for pie wars, we don’t encourage them. On the other hand, we haven’t been particularly successful in preventing them, either.

For this play Drama club helped out with they made pies for a few scenes that looked good and could be loaded up with shaving cream/substitte fillings. Here’s how they were made:

– 1 pie tin
– several peices of light brown (crust-colored) felt
– 1 peice of foam, the really spongy thick kind you find protecting tvs and stuff in their bokes (not styrofoam.) Actual sponges can be substituted here (wet them first then let them dry, so they’re squishey)
– Velcro (opt.)
– scisors
– a glue gun
-markers

Take the felt and cu it into 1 inch strips, the cut those in thirds/forths/peices. glue one onto the pie tin at an angle so it’s a bit slanted towards one direction (glue gun glue holds better than regualr school glue, and dries faster). Glue the next peice of felt slightly overlapping it, and the third peice slightly overlapping the second, and so on around the tin. There you have your crust.

Next, take the foam/sponges and cut it into the relitive shape of the bottem of the pie tin. It should come about halfway up the sides. If using sponges, glue them together so they’re in one peice (I havn’t used sponges for this so it may not work, if they don’t stay together don’t do this).
Glue this insert into the bottom of the tin — OR — put velcro on the bottom of the pie tin and glue the opposite peic to the insert. This gives you an easy way to remove it and wash it if you’re using something other than shaving cream.
The purpose of the insert is to cushion one’s face as it’s slammed with a pie. It does make a difference.

Color the top of the foam/sponges with a marker in a fruit-filling sort of color (red, blue, or someother type of filling can work too) and glue more strips of felt over the top of theese in a criss-crossing pattern so you can still see the color. This way, even if it doesn’t have shaving cream/filling in it it still can resemble pie.

Pie people! [}~

Hope this works, most I just figureed out as I went. We did make things like this, but they used a different, thick material instead of felt that was oddly shaped and hard to work with. No coloring/extra felt either.

And another thing, I know a while back everyone was talking about bringing musical insruments. Is that still on? Robert said something about there being a piano in the restaurant we were going to eat at. If that’s still the case, I would like to know if anyone else is seriously going to bring their instruments.
I just don’t want to be the only person that shows up lugging an instrument. Also, will there be any safe place to put stuff, or will we just have to carry everything around with us?

98-Exactly how you want your name spelled/capitalized, and your favorite color. Part of the problem is collecting the information from old kokonvention threads, so to get your name tag made sooner it would be nice if people could post it again. I will be going through the old threads, too, but it will take a little longer… I don’t believe you ever gave your info, so if you could now that would be great!

And I don’t think I am going to bring my guitar, as it might become an encumbrance during pie-throwing. people with slightly smaller instruments might consider bringing them, but I don’t think I will be.

Let’s all bring our instruments to the kokonvention! It would be fun and interesting! You could make all kinds of music with a violin, two people on a piano, a flute, a concertina, and a trombone! Actually, you all might agree with me, but if I were somewhere normal, people would start giving me odd looks around now. And they might get hard to carry around after the playing.

We don’t mind moderating. Moderating is what we do. “Moderation in all things”: that’s our motto.

From Union Station, take the Metro to Metro Center. (It’s on the Shady Grove line, and it’s three stops away.) Leave by the southern exit (to the left of the way the train is heading; you’ll have to cross under the tracks) and head southward on 12th Street. South is downhill, in the direction of Pennsylvania Avenue and the Mall. Barnes & Noble is on the northeast corner of 12th and E Streets. The Kokonventioneers will Kokonvene upstairs in the cafe.

Yes, I’m about to send around another e-mail burst. The agenda is simple:

Friday, August 10: Tour of “Science” magazine, lunch at the National Press Club, musical soiree.

Wednesday, August 15: Tour of NPR, lunch at site to be determined (maybe the National Press Club again, maybe somewhere else for variety), meet with Ivars Peterson at the Mathematical Association of America.

For each day, we’ll draw up a list of optional late-afternoon and evening activities for those who want to keep going. August weather here can wear you down, though, so we didn’t want to overschedule the Kokonventioneers.

That’s the basic plan.

Agh! My parents have just confirmed that I definitely won’t be at the kokonvention this year. We’ll be right in the middle of moving then, so there just won’t be time to drive to DC. But I hope all you lucky people who can attend have lots of fun!

Will this be an annual event? If so, I could probably make it next year. And Chicago musers, tell me if you have another konvention of your own! I might be able to make that one, too – Chicago’s not exactly close for me, but it’s a considerably shorter drive away than DC.

I would suggest a Kentucky kokonvention, but I’m pretty sure there aren’t that many musers around. Correct me if I’m wrong!

If it does turn anual, perhaps we could move the location around from place to place, so everyone could have a chance. Or even if we kept it in the same place it’d be fine, I’d likely get to go to one, with a longer time to ~~beg on bended knees~~ ask my perents.

Hmm. Still rallying for a Chicago Kkv. Perhaps if there was another Chicago one, we could go to the Taste? Or the lake? Definatly I’d like to see if it could be arangd to get to the Muse HQ. But that’s another time.

Heck yes! Oh, this is kinda random, but I have a great story to tell.

So last Tuesday, I was hanging out with my bf (who is a redhead) on the dock by my neighborhood lake, and we were just laying there, looking at the clouds, talking about nothing in particular, when, all of a sudden, bf is like, “Hey, look, a plane…SAVE ME FROM THE SEA HAG!!!!!!!”. And I was like, “*gasp* I’m insulted!”, and he’s like, “No, you know I’m just kidding…[and then, in a whisper]…sea haaag…”. And I just burst out laughing.
So it was kind of a running joke for the rest of the day, and we decided that the Sea Hag (no, not the one from Popeye) could breath underwater (because she was already dead), and could control all the catfish in the world (I later decided that she could make nearly indestructible bubbles, too). It was pretty sweet.
So then we decided that he was Typhoon Adam (“Adam” being his name), and he could control water, and moved about by making miniature typhoons, and riding in them. And his hair turned blue when he used his powers (mine became seaweed).
The next day, we went to play performance (since we were both in the play), and told everyone of our imaginings. So of course our friends had to take part in the fun, and they decided that Typhoon Adam’s hair could light on fire, too. And then they came up with a bunch of powers/names for themselves, and everyone was happy.
The end.

Sorry, that was really long, but it just came to me when we started talking about magik.

ATTENTION! Tickets to “Stardust,” which opens in downtown D.C. on August 10, are now on sale. It’s an easy walk from the Kokonvention. You can buy them on Fandango.

We should be finished with our scheduled afternoon Kokonvention activities in time for the 3:45 show, but the after-dinner alternative (7:20) also offers some advantages for those who plan to be in town that late.

Do we have to go to the movie? it sounds like that’s going to be a major event at the kokonvention…. I don’t know if I’ll go. Probably not, but who knows? Yeah, why do the GAPAs need to know our names beforehand? My mom sent in first and last names, but the rest of you will have to wait to know my name. *laughs*
Anyway, back on subject, about what time is the konvention going to be winding down? or will it be a big party that goes on FOREVER!!!!!?

What are we really going to do with them? Just carry them around and look goofy, or what? Maybe we could all swap pies and keep them as suvineirs, I dunno. *shrugs*

Attention, Kokonventioneers! Don’t worry if you don’t feel inspired to make pseudopies (“dry pies”). The GAPAs will whip up some quick-and-sloppy ones this weekend so nobody will go without.

If you haven’t made yours yet but plan to, think small. These pie-oid objects are symbols, not offensive weapons. The lighter and more portable they are, the happier you will be as you lug them around the scorching, steaming, sizzling streets of Washington, D.C.

About the movie: the GAPAs haven’t scheduled any activities past about 3:00, when our musical soiree ends. After that, Rosanne has an appointment, and Robert will probably have to go back to work for two or three hours. So you’re free to do whatever you like, together or apart. Robert will be happy to store musical instruments in his office until the end of the day.

“Stardust” would certainly pass the time until dinner. (Speaking of food, a Haagen-Dazs ice cream store and a Thai restaurant are just downstairs from the movie theater, and there are dozens of other good restaurants nearby.) Of course, there are also many other things to do downtown. Your parents may have some ideas about what they would like to do.

GAAAHHHH!!!!!! Should Shadowkat just get a ticket, or not??? And GAPA’s: Shadowkat will be bringing a friend (who we will call EagleEye, for now), because they are both going to the ISIL Conference (since they both got scholarships!!!!!), and are carpooling for the trip. Shadowkat is going to try to get EagleEye to post here at least once before the Kokonvention, but can make no guarantees…she is sorry if this is any problem. And she still might go to the Aug. 15th Kokonvention.

284 (Robert) – You said “illeitis” before you crossed it out, and if you take out one l, “ileitis” – it’s a disease – and I had it! (The exclamation point was not because it was enoyable)

About the movie – would any MBers/GAPAs be interested in doing something else? I’m not a big fan of movies, and besides that, all you really do in a movie is watch it. So, if we’re all coming from far away to see each other, why not do an activity with more communication/involvement with other people? Just a thought…

Another Kokonvention type comment – I just found out I live about 30 minutes away from “yesterday’s kinked moose.” Cool!

There are all sorts of people in CA, Emmatheduck and Stormwatcher and Aga and his friends and E2MB and Canix and Axa (I think) and of course Rosanne, but the problem is, they’re in CA, not WA. If only we could switch the first letter around. Siiiiighhhh… It’s lonely living up here in the northwest. I wish my mother would suddenly decide to go to a convention of her own in Chicago and take me along. Then we could have a Chicago kokon and I could meet Jadestone and Kiki and Penty and the other multitudes of MuseBloggers who live there! Wheee!
But of course she wouldn’t. Mothers never do.
It would also be cool to go to Pennsylvania and meet Momo and Pan and Taiwan Hippo Fan who I need to find a short name for.

Also, does anyone else here know anything about printing on a printing press? Because you have to hand set the type, and it’s a pain!!!! But even worse is if you drop it, then you have to find all these TINY little pieces type and identify what letter they are…. So you call it “pie” since there’s simply NO word awful enough.

Most of the parents say it’s all right to post photos without names attached. As for the rest, we’ll just be careful about who is in any pictures we post. I can’t imagine that audio would cause problems, but we’ll check about that, too.

It’s worthwhile being cautious. Once an image is on line, anybody can grab it, change it, and repost it. For example, this picture of Urania has proved very popular on the Web.

Hm, do the parents know the pics will just be on the blog, not pasted all over the internet at large? Oh well, it doesn’t affect me, I was just thinking how tough this will be for you guys. Like all the group shots won’t be able to be posted, unless you black out the people who don’t want pics. And that would be kind of crude.

My Mom laughed when I told her about the “reading Muse” photo. So I dunno what to think. I can’t see that audio would be an issue, stalkers aren’t too interested in what a kid’s voice sounds like, are they?? It’s different than a picture, a picture can identify you a lot more than a recording of your voice, I think. And if we’re all going to be playing music, on the 10th at least, it would be fun to have a recording of it. I don’t think my fiddle playing is so distinctively bad that someone could find me by hearing it. *joking*

I’ve been working on my pie, and it’s coming along pretty well, I’ve been relearning to use my sewing machine, it’s been forever….

Right now it’s scorching hot and muggy, and everybody in Washington is in a bad mood. Don’t worry, though: we’ll cheer them up.

Helpful hint: When walking around downtown, wear ear plugs. Seriously. There are a lot of sirens and construction sites around here. I never go out without a couple of little cylindrical foam plugs in a plastic case in my pocket.

Hello!!!! I am on the computer if the Hampton Inn and Suites!!!! Isn’t that cool? Aaaanyways, we’re in VIRGINIA! I’m typing to you from VIR-GIN-EE-AAAAAAAA!!!! COOOOLLLLIIIOOO!!!!

Ahem. That is not the real reason I am posting. The REAL reason I am posting is because I can’t have my picture on the web unless my face is hidden (blurred, covered up with a koko head or musine) BUT I AM allowed to have my VOICE recorded. You may take any pictures of me you’d like (I’m not camera shy) but you can’t post them on the web, plain and simple.

The Kokonvention is tomorrow. TOMORROW! AMAZING!

Do you wanna know what we did this week? I’ll tell you anyways!

First we went to KittyHawk where the Wright brothers FIRST FLEW!!! The FIRST SUCCESSFUL AIRPLANE FLIGHT!!!! How rad is that? Then we went to swim in the Atlantic ocean! It rocked. We jumped over waves and stuff (how descriptive!)

So that was day one, on day two, we went to JAMESTOWN!!! Historic JAMESTOWN!!! Where Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan lived until that guy…. who? I can’t remember because of his arrogantness! But ARCHER rocks so much harder than you-know-who!

Then yesterday we went to colonial Williamsburg! COOL STUFF MAN!!! I want to work in millinery! Yeah! And there, all the people dressed like they where from the 1800s!

Today we will be driving a lot and might see Thomas Jefferson’s home!

Peace Out! See you Soon!

I think Kokonventioneers should feel free to take as many pictures as they like, within reason. We don’t want you to spend all your time worrying about which way to point your cameras. We’ll just be careful about which ones we post on the Web. For group shots, we’ll have plenty of Muses on hand to cover Web-shy faces.

Indeed, this is a great way for people to get to this area to see the sites…

My parents have decided it will be better to park in a nearby parking garage they found than Union Station. Walking for almost an hour in the heat might not be fun, plus we would be all sweaty and gross when we got there. And riding the metro could be pricey too. But anyway, we are getting very close to kokonventioning time…Oh! Yes, I wanted to ask if the list at the top of this page is completely accurate, and nobody has decided to come on a different day than they said before. I am trying to only bring as many of the tags as we will need each day, if possible. But I don’t want someone to be sad if they don’t have one…I made Quintessentia one anyway, and maybe we can at least take a picture of it so she can see it…etcetc, it always seems like I’m forgetting something…

(392, 391) We’ve printed schedules for all participants (= kids, not parents). The AAAS, or American Association for the Advancement of Science, publishes Science magazine, where I work as an editor. One of our information officers will tell you about us, then I’ll give you a tour of the magazine, then we’ll have lunch at the National Press Club.

I’d hoped that we could hold the soiree at the National Press Club, but I couldn’t get permission to use their piano, so we’re holding it at a church a few blocks away. The choir room has a very nice Yamaha grand piano, which the pianists among you should enjoy playing.

HAHAH! I’m back in my own little home! Ready to report on kokonventionings!

First, I bumped into Glassboro a little early in the bookstore. Then we looked over to the escalators, and saw a huge mass of kids wearing Muse shirts and adults looking a bit travel-weary. We gathered around in a big group, getting in people’s way when they tried to get through, but as we were all wearing the shirts and holding pies, it didn’t take long for the whole second floor to clear out. There were times when we weren’t sure of what to say at first, but eventually the discussion started, and, as it is on the blog, at first it was like a random thread. Then it moved to more of a discussion thread, or sometimes a Muser Profiles thread. (I will now press return before I’m pied for making this impossible to read)

We waited for Shadowkat (who didn’t look like I thought she did-like mostly everybody)

We met Robert in the Science building. They told us about AAAS, and then Robert took us to his office. He was going to show us his license plate, but it was getting late

Then we went to the Press Club to eat lunch, and found that the GAPAs had reserved a whole room, and there was a sign out front saying we were coming!

The food was great, and then we went to a *insert name of church-I can’t remeber the name! {hits head}* church where the Musers listed in Robert’s post played wonderfully. Then we went to this nice place-can’t remember the name but will once I send in the post in-where we got ice cream and other goodies. E-mails where exchanged. People started to leave, some staying for other events during the evening and some-like me-to go home. We walked a couple of blocks down, with shadowkat still talking to people back at the ice cream place, and the next thing I know she’s walking in front of us. How does she do that?

Itwaz very nice. It was nice to meet all of those Musers, and get e-mails, and it was great! Most people didn’t look how I thought they did, but I’m sure I looked different too. And I’m not saying anyone looked bad!

Thanks to the GAPAs!

And yes, Robert got on at least three times to moderate!

411-It was, and it’s sad more people couldn’t have come. But it was a huge group as it was, it took three elevators each place we went to get everyone up and down!

Below is one of the songs Robert wrote from another song, which was sung during the kokonvention “Museical” part:

” Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Muses
Don’t let ’em build gadgets or throw custard pies,
Stare into space of get stars in there eyes,
Mamas, don’t let your babaies grow up to be Muses,
They’re just a big pain, ’cause they’ll wear out your brain,
Telling you things you don’t know.

Muses don’t take life for granted like most folks you know.
They stand in the margins bemusedly watching the show.
They chatter and snicker and gossip and bicker,
And somehow they allget along.
At the end of the day they will go on their way,
Singing this Muse-ical song:

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Muses
Don’t let ’em build gadgets or throw custard pies,
Stare into space of get stars in there eyes,
Mamas, don’t let your babaies grow up to be Muses,
They’re just a big pain, ’cause they’ll wear out your brain,
Telling you things you don’t know.

I’d post the other one now but I have to get off to bed…See you all in the morning!

Oh and I’ll type the other one up in the morning too…

410~ thanks for the complement, that we “played beautifully”!!!

IT WAS SO SO SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really was, everybody was really nice and we had a great time. THANK YOU GAPAs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks a billion times, I’ll never forget it.
Yeah, at the beginning no one knew what to say so Rebbeca was talking for us all. But later we kept talking so loudly we must have gotten told off for making too much noise I don’t even know how many times!! Te ONE time the MBloggers get to make noise while taking to each other!!! YAY!!!!
I enjoyed myself SO MUCH!!!!!!

Robert really got into the singing the Muse songs, it was incredibly halarious. Also, Robert and Rosanne pied each other! Again, halarious.

Everyone was different than I expected, but really interested, interesting, lively, creative and fantabulous!!!!!!

THANK YOU GAPAs SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS GREAT.

(I tried to do bold, I hope it works….)

hello all! I’m in the hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, and the wireless internet is finally working on my computer(although it might be some random nearby internet). The kokonvention was really fun. Thank you, GAPAs! I have nothing better to do now (since Microsoft Outlook seems to dislike this internet), so I’ll post kokonvention details from my POV.
Took Metro and then walked a block to Brarnes and Noble. Walking up the stairs, the first person I spotted was Capricious, soon followed by almost everyone else(including GAPAs Roseanne and Rebecca). Shadowkat was late, the rest of us talked for a half hour while waiting. We all walked to the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, where Robert works. We listened to someone talk about the magazine Science and then someone else talk about science programs they were doing, like the podcast and kinetic city. Then Robert came in and talked a little about Science and about the kokonvention and stuff, and Roseanne and Robert pied each other, and we saw Robert’s office and jumped in the elevators (maximum capacity is a challenge, not a restriction!), and after that it was lunchtime. We walked to the National Press Club place and ate and talked more. Robert showed those nearby how he moderated on his Treo. This was around one thirty, probably, and I remember him reading comments 12, 15, and 18 aloud. Then, after searching around NPC a little, we found 2 computers, and Glassboro seems to have gone to the random thread, while Lady Visala went on the other computer to this thread. Then we split; people with instruments went back to Robert’s office to get them and those without went with Rebecca directly to a nearby presbyterian church with a piano. We musical-soiree’d until almost four, when Robert, Roseanne, and Sobriquet had to leave and everyone ran out of songs to play. Then we went to a nearby cafe and had ice cream(they didn’t sell pie ) and talked and exchanged emails. People were going to go to botanical gardens/jazz concert next. I don’t know; I had to leave after that.

Off to make email work, curious and questioning

Hi! The Kokonvention was so much fun. My hair still smells like pie filling. Such sweet memories.
Thanks to all the MuseBloggers and parents and siblings who came. It was inspiring to be around such a great group of smart, interesting, good-natured people.

That sounds so fun! There should be one in Ohio! I’ve only met one other Muse reader from Ohio and she lives an hour away. Her first name is Maddie, but I don’t think she comes on here. Anyway I’m jealous of you Kokonventioners. Lucky ducks!

That was SO AWESOME!!!!!

I’m not going to summarize everything again, because so many other people have said it, but after everyone sort of “disbanded,” Glassboro, Capricious, Lady Visala, Rebecca Lasley, Robert Coontz, Taiwan Hippo Fan and I went to a sculpture garden and just sat and talked for awhile, then went to a pizza restaurant place for dinner. After dinner, we all got to talk to Robert and it was FLAMABLAMABLOUS!!! We got to see him moderate, (we saw a bunch of your posts before they were moderated – cool!) and he showed us a picture of Pentatonikk’s mom…also, we got to talk about tons of other stuff. Then, we went back to AAAS to see Robert’s car – he was parked in #42, and we got to see his flamablamablous liscense plate and such. It was so great – everyone was just like I thought, but they were also so different. One thing that was TOTALLY unexpected was Rebecca – I never knew she talked so much!

400-tee hee! it says Kokonvention there! tee hee!

that sounds awesome! I wish I were there!

And Robert, I (no longer in DC) did keep an eye out for Robert-ish figures but no luck. Ah well, my relatives live around there so I’ll be back most likely at some point. Eventually.

In the mean time… MN kokonvention, eh? Eh?

423-Yes, I wondered what hotel people did after house people left…Sounds like more of the same, but different, fun!

Oh-did I make it clear Robert was singing these great songs too?! Well he did, and they were so fr00dy! Robert could make CDs of him singing these songs, and sell them to all of the Muse fans! Unless he thinks the other editors would think him totally insane if they heard him singing them in his office!

I’ll post the other one if it’s okay…it’s amazing how well he matched up the number of words for each line to the original song!

A few hours after we got back, Midnight Fiddler had already sent me an e-mail! Can you believe it? Mail for me? I’m going to write back to her and everybody else I have e-mails for soon…

And yes, Robert and Rosanne pied each other. There’s a movie, so I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to wait to tell!

Robert has a nice window office! And a computer! And a desk! It was AMAZING! We spent at least 20 minutes in shock of how cool it was! No, really! It isn’t the normal office that has stacks of old Muses in little corners here and there!

I know I’m forgetting something here…but even though Robert said long posts are fun, I don’t want to slow the whole blog down!

Boy, the non-kokonventioneers are going to be mad now! We come on and say to “check your e-mail”? *grins broadly* Sorry!
