petroniaDidn't actually mention that I went to the Beer Festival, on... Thursday I think it was? Sort of dragged Erin after work. ^^; I was planning to take it easy and drop by several days in a row for a couple of tastings but of course it had to be the same weekend as MUTEK so time-wise it didn't pan out. But I did try a few nice wheat/fruit beers (figured I may as well stick to what I liked), and half a pint of porter.
The trick to the beer fest is to buy a glass, or bring one from a preceding edition. You get more beer for your coupons that way, and a pint glass with a handle is much easier to hold than one of those dinky little plastic cups. Belgian-style fries are de rigueur (like mussels I really feel like the ones I've had in Montreal are better - maybe not so touristic). I also like those buffalo-meat sausage skewers even though they're expensive. :P
Although I love summer the weather's gotten very hot very suddenly and I haven't adjusted - I remember it was the same last June.

Okay, fandom news - I'd better get those Bleach FSTs up while they're timely. The problem with the "mixtape" is that I planned for two songs per character but I only have one for most, so I don't know whether to put it up as a short mix or what. ^^; The Ishida thing I haven't properly sat down and sequenced.
Will post some other music too, as soon as I can upload.
I have a gift certificate for Amazon Japan that needs to be used by the end of June and I'm pondering just ordering the last however many tankoubon of Stone Ocean and having done with it, because I need to be able to schlepp my reading outdoors. ^^;
