Thursday evening was spent at the Czuk residence, finishing up a few last minute preparations for the convention, such as filling the goody bags. In addition to chez czuk residents
javaczuk and
bummaseli, I also got to meet
martip,
lizmopuddy,
sirroy and BookCrossing’s new CEO who uses the screenname redsoxbookguy, among others. There was pizza, wine and beer, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The mood was decidedly silly, which was to remain the prevailing mood through the rest of the weekend.
The Czuks live in a gorgeous house, in a beautiful neighborhood. The abundance of life that surrounds the house infuses it with a warmth that is matched by the people that live there. I would have several lovely conversations with Javaczuk over the course of the weekend. He has a great sense of humor (essential in this crowd, for sure) and is a true master at stringing together puns. It was also a true pleasure to finally meet Bumma. I’m not sure if she completely understood who I was, but there were a lot of people vying for her attention, so that’s okay.
The energy and excitement that evening was palpable. Everyone was looking forward to the weekend, ready to meet people and just have a good time. It was tremendous fun to be a part of it all, and I’m so glad I decided to go down early. It gave me one more night of fond memories to cherish.
