Well, with the exception of some big egos and easily hurt feelings on more than one account (myself included - I fully admit it), GenCon was amazingly fun and we came out yet again Victorious in the 7th Sea LARP. Performing was great fun and I even took the lead once and a few solo verses. Scared the hell out of me and I'm not entirely happy with my performance - but I'm glad I did it just the same. Wonderful to see my Florida, Vegas, and local friends (as well as a few guys from Seattle who didn't recognize me but I recognized them from my l5r days.. can't remember their names for the life of me though).

I was back at work today. About two hours before my shift was over I was given some very unhappy news. I had to pretend to be ok for the last few hours of work and then came home and collapsed into a ball of sobs. Swoney died on Friday The funeral is Tuesday. My manager told me to take Tuesday and Wednesday off so I can go to it in Vegas. He told me not to worry one bit about him getting the shifts covered and just go. He also asked if there was anything else he could do. He really is a friend as well as a manager. I have a possible ride and a definite place to stay.

EDIT: For those who knew her and are able to be there, I have just received the following information on the service...

There will be a service to celebrate her life on Tuesday, November 22 at 6 pm and the Palm Mortuary on South Eastern. I believe the number is 702-464-8500 if you have a hard time finding the place and the addy is 7600 S. Eastern.

EDIT: I do have a ride so I will be at the funeral. Thank you Steve.

When Steve called me initially he left a message asking if I'd heard about Sandi. I called him as soon as I got the message. I was sure she's just been in an accident or injured in some way. I didn't expect this. I'm still in shock.

when Shauna emailed me and asked me to call, I was thinkin it was about Sandi's dad. I know he's not been in the best of health..

So I called Shauna...

oh..and I don't know if it's been posted anywhere yet, but there's a link to the obituary in a post I made on my LJ..

Thank you for the link to the obituary. I think I needed to read that and the comments attached to it.

I just found out tonight about this and words just can't explain how I feel right now.

Steve called me tonight. I hadn't called you yet because 1. I figured someone closer would've told you and 2. I wasn't sure I could call you since my best memories of her are when we three used to spend so much time together. I love you Jay, I miss her so much.

Been spending most of the night thinking about those times myself. And not sure if you have my number or not but you can call me anytime.

I don't have it (just checked) so I guess I couldn't have called you anyway. I need your number.

Hopefully I still have the right email. I sent it on there.

OMG, I haven't been checking livejournal for days! I also just found out that Kim, an old roommate of mine, passed away this last weekend. What is going on? I've found out about two people I know in less than six hours. This will sink in at some point, but I'm still pretty shocked.

Jennifer, I'm so sorry. I know swoney was a good friend of yours. I'm so sorry for everyone who knew her well, my heart is with you all. I wish I could do more.
