Sunday started not quite as happily as Saturday did. [livejournal.com profile] bunny_hugger had a second panel to host, explaining the hobby of letterboxing, and that was set for 11 am.

Some of it was eating, some of it was seeing things, some of it was puppets, some of it was dancing, some of it was homework not yet done, Roofae. )

Well, just before bed, I did realize I'd overlooked something, and went over to the room where [livejournal.com profile] nimblesquirrel was staying, to give another little gift. I then failed to recognize [livejournal.com profile] nimblesquirrel, who'd deceived me by answering the door immediately. Well, that would happen. But I gave a small bag of Squirrel Nut Zippers, the candy, and that fairly closed out the night. [livejournal.com profile] nimblesquirrel had not been aware of the name as anything other than a band, which is a pretty normal state of affairs.

Trivia: In 1847, Boston confectioner Oliver R Chase patented a lozenge cutter, which appears to be the first American candy machine. Source: Sweets: A History Of Temptation, Tim Richarson.
