I had a good pair of days in New York. Sunday I spent much of in the Natural History Museum, which I was in a dozen years or so ago, but since then they've added a lot, including a butterfly vivarium, before getting into the pop-up shop and getting myself a Mighty Nein t-shirt. I wore it the next day, first to the New York Public Library, where I went to see their exhibition of various items from their collection, to very old medieval tomes to materials related to various Broadway productions, then found their gift shop and bought myself a 2026 calendar of New Yorker cartoons, then to the local Drunk Shakespeare Society's performance of Drunk Dracula, where one of the ushers expressed their appreciation for it, nor was I the only person of the audience in one of the shirts from the pop-up. Drunk Dracula wasn't quite what the blurbs claimed, with the drunk member of the cast not really standing out much amid all their antics, but it was fun to watch.
And just being in New York City makes me happy. By the time I ended up getting myself one of their new metro cards, I did so knowing I was coming back at some point next year. If I don't make it to San Diego, I'm definitely going back to NYCC then. I might just go even if I do. I watched the Critical Role backstage stream after getting back this afternoon, and found myself feeling sad less because I'm not at the live show tonight and more just because I'm not in New York City any more.
But a couple hours later I got a notification that couldn't help but make me happy tonight: I've been podficced again! deepestbluesky podficced Knitting for the Chromatic Characters Podfic Anthology.
