Hello Sockmonkeys!
I have a few different things to post about, but I thought I'd get this one up first so it doesn't get buried.
Image: One Sockmonkey writer at a table with her laptop, a cupboard in the background in front of the windows with Polly Esther, Pierson and other Sockmonkeys on top of it.
Many thanks to xwordslingerx for getting to the library before I did. And thank you to the librarians at the University Place library for unlocking the door to the room for her so she could set up while I was still on the freeway.
Image: Two tables with one Sockmonkey writer a piece at them. The table on the left has an open laptop facing the camera and the table in the distance holds the wrapped mugs for the Mug Exchange.
We had a small but fun group at this Midway event - and far more food than we could eat (as evidenced by the photo of the table at the top of this post). It was great to see them again, to catch up, and to hear a bit about each other's current projects.
Image: A wooden cupboard in front of some windows. On top of the cupboard sit the mugs from the Mug Exchange, our mascots Polly Esther and Pierson, and the Sockmonkey bucket of Sockmonkeys.
There wasn't any need for the usual tickets to decide whose turn it was to pick a mug, but that was okay. It was still fun watching the mugs be opened, looked at and talked about. And, as is tradition, they were posed with our mascots for their posting online. In the photo above, from left-to-right are: a curvy red and white striped mug; Polly Esther; a black mug that reads "You Octopi my Heart"; Pierson the Sock dog; A green Christmas Tree shaped mug; and the Sockmonkey bucket of Sockmonkeys. I hope the others enjoy using their mugs - I know I'll enjoy using mine!
I know there were various writing and library events going on elsewhere, which is why a few Sockmonkeys (and maybe more...) who usually attend weren't able to make it. Here's hoping that's not the case for our Winter Potluck and Blind Book Exchange. As stated at the end of the last post, it will be given its own post, but, in order for people to have time to mark it on their calendar, just remember that it is scheduled on Saturday, December 6th from 1 - 3 p.m.
Hope to see some of you then!
