Dorsai Thing 33 Report

[giza]

For the impatient, my entire dump of images from Dorsai Thing 33 can be found over on Flickr.

This year's Dorsai Thing was held in Marina Del Rey, just outside of Los Angeles. The temperature was a lovely 70-75 degrees most of the time, so I didn't spend as much of this Thing in the consuite, but rather on Venice Beach, which was a short walk away. Here's what I got to see in the morning:





I got some pics of town itself, too:



And finally, we had a few really loud Hawaiian shirts:



I believe that Dave and Diana Stein actually won prizes for those shirts. Scary.

Also, this year's Thing had not 1, not 2, but 3 new members inducted to the Dorsai Irregulars. The funny thing about Dorsai Membership is that prospective members are not told that they are under consideration. This means that their induction usually comes as a complete surprise to them. It also makes for some interesting pics of the weekend's inductions:

Induction #1, at the barbecue
Induction #2, at dinner
Induction #3, at the end of dinner

Overall, I had an awesome weekend and can't wait until I see some of the other DI and folk at the next con. And according to my calendar, that would be... Furry Connection North from April 11 to 13 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

I'll see you there.

Sounds like you had a blast, and what a view along that beach! Stunning!

Congratulations on the induction. You should be very proud of yourself.

I'll see you at FCN for certain (barring any unforeseen border nonsense).

Thanks. And good luck at the border. :-)

Dave and I will be there, although we probably won't be wearing the same outfits.

I notice you didn't tell folks what the prize was for. Not that their winning a prize justifies the extent they went to in order to win it...

Congrats!
