Bar Trivia


My husband's med school held a bar trivia night at local brewery O'Connor's, and his pathology lab group made a team, so we participated. We didn't do too well in the first half... did GREAT in the second half... and had no idea what we were doing with the final question where we wagered all our points. (There was no prize so we figured we might as well.)

Blue Ribbon at the Norva

I believe I've taken a previous LV to see my brother-in-law's band play at the Norva (a great little music venue in Norfolk) but this time they were headlining!

Blue Ribbon on stage!

A great little restaurant around the corner from the Norva, the Grilled Cheese Bistro.
They serve something like two dozen variations on the classic, plus sides like
fried pickles, fries, tomato soup, etc.

Fan Fic February

The library and Tidewater Comicon are working together to bring a fan-fiction program to the high school closest to the library I work at, and I was invited to be a part of it!

I didn't want to distract the kids from their great work (or worry about photo waivers or whatever) so Ollie posed with the flier:


We'll be doing this every Thursday this month, so there's more fun to come!

Graffitti

Ollie and I stopped at a thrift store to look for some pieces for an upcoming cosplay, and this was spray-painted outside. We thought it was kind of nice, and it matched Ollie quite well.
