[conventions|repost] Announcing JayCon XIII – today!
by
ETA: We will be having my living wake, the JayWake on Saturday, July 27th. This will be a celebration of my life and a giant flip of the bird to my death. Including both a wake and a roast. Watch this space for more details.
Every year, some people tell me that I need to announce JayCon early so they can get it in on their calendars. Every year, some people tell me I need to announce JayCon later, because they don’t plan that far ahead. Sometimes, these are the same people. So starting now, and going on through the spring, I will be reposting this announcement with occasional edits or updates as needed.
In celebration of my natal anniversary, JayCon XIII, my 13th annual 37th birthday party, is Saturday, June 15th, 2013 (a/k/a today) from 2 to 5 pm at the Flying Pie in SE Portland. We’re partying because I was born, and because I have beat cancer again and again and again we may not ever get to do this again.
If you can read this, you’re invited. Prior JayCon experience not required.
Also, if you’re coming from out of town, and you think I might not be aware of that, please contact me. There are some limited capacity extended festivities from Friday to Sunday.

happy birthday, old man. (The vantage point of 10 days younger means I get to taunt you)

Wish I did not have to work today, but I am ably represented by Bruce, who is on the way even now. Have a fine time, all!
Wish I could be there. Thinking of you. Much love xoxoxo
Unfortunately, I’m on the other side of the world, but have a happy JayCon nonetheless.

If you’re having a living wake, does that mean that you’re a zombie/one of the living dead? I ask because I was shopping at an Indian grocery this morning and came across a premade “brains masala.”
