  & gave Colleen the train whistle for Rosebud
    ! gleeful.  Blew it in the living room.  Fun!
  & 9:20 party still fairly small but in full swing; have spent most of it in
    the office with 1-3 people.
  & several good conversations in the office
    Andy is also way behind on household computer upgrades
    Marty noticed that C is more affectionate in public now.
  & IM with N; silliness and empathy with SusieRoo
  & 10:15 party winding down
  & 10:40 Colleen in bed and everyone gone.

It was a rather small party -- I forgot to make fliers before Baycon, and only posted one announcement on LJ. Some of the regulars were busy elsewhere, as well. I did my usual thing of holing up in the office with one or two other people (maxed out at three, but that didn't last long) and had some good conversations with friends who might otherwise have left sooner. And on IM as well. So everybody wins.

(I finally verified with Colleen that she likes this arrangement, too. She's the one who pointed out that the people who hang out in the office are the ones who, like me, can't handle crowds well and would probably leave early otherwise. Odd that I never noticed that before.)

Colleen was bemoaning the fact that Rosebud doesn't have a good horn; I went into the bedroom, pulled out the train whistle, gave it a good toot in the living room (startling several guests in the process) and put it in Rosebud's basket. I win.

The party wound down earlier than usual after Colleen went to bed around 10pm. It was a good party, though: relaxed and enjoyable. There's still a lot of beer and soda left.

Sounds like eveyone had a good time.

We did, I think.

Well, I pointed it out before (I think), but I'm not sure if I did. As for the beer, the Newcastle is mine but Mike & Blake offered to drink it for me and buy me a fresh case next time I come down to visit --- whenever that is.
