gorgeous out today, walked over to #bagelsaurus in #CambridgeMA on #MassAve - line wasn't too bad, got a half dozen savory #bagels and some chive cream cheese - worth the trip. And stopped by a tag sale on #LowellSt on the way over, chatted with a nice neighbor. Good times
Headed to #ComixCon shortly before it wraps up 4ish...Have a great day! ^_^
Craig P@knizer OHHHH, that's what that is. ComixCon.
@Craigp kids were screaming in the teen room for the smash brothers tournament. There’s a lot of vendors and such. It was awesome!
@Craigp also, I didn't get a pic but we talked to a bunch of vendors including someone who DMs for hire, a person who we bought some nerdy greeting cards off of, and a variety of artists/artisans/writers. There was a cosplay tutorial session, a bounce house, face painting, and a (mostly) SF/F used book sale table - we picked up the paperbacks for Shadow and Bone for 5$ total. Lots of costumes, even on staff.
Plus introduced someone to the concept of the Emotional Labor Shelf! Well worth swinging by. #BostonWeekend
