Neat new pants

As a break from my real life, here's something utterly trivial. I just found the neatest new pants.

They're mostly wool tweed in a neat houndstooth crisscross in shades of black, tan, and red. But the waistband is dark brown leather, very wide, with two snaps and a button closure on the right side. Kind of retro, kind of modern at the same time. Also they fit me like a glove, even my long thighs, sitting right where I like them on my waist and the hem hitting exactly beneath my ankle. Here's a closeup of the leather waistband.

They're kind of dressy but not too formal, so I think I can dress them up or down. Although it just occurs to me that with the leather they're dry clean only, which is a pain. But I like them a lot and hope I can incorporate them into my wardrobe.

Coming up now

Life is busy. Lots of stuff. And stuff I should probably post about. But here's the bullet list, until I get my head together about everything.

Tonight I have auditions for my Bare Bones reading of Mrs. Hawking. I am fortunate to have gotten a big group of actors signed up to read, so I'm sure I'll be able to find a good cast. Have some nerves related to the process that I might need to work out, but I have high hopes for the production itself.

I would like to write a report on Intercon. It's probably the most anticipated weekend of the year for me, and while I mostly enjoyed it, there were some really, really bad points, and I need to figure out how best to talk about it from a larp-analysis standpoint and from a personal-issues standpoint in an appropriate manner.

Festival is coming up. Sign ups for the first round of games open at 7pm tonight, and I will be running Break a Leg and Agent Bobo of the Resistance. Not a hundred percent sure what I'm signing up for myself, but I'd love to see you in both or either of my games, and there's plenty of great stuff on the schedule.
