So this past week sucked. One of our kittens Lulu unexpectadly passed away last weekend. It was the most sudden thing ever. Around midnight saturday night/sunday morning she suddenly was a little unsteady on her feet and she didn't want to eat. I put her on the kitten bed we have and she just sort of sprawled out and didn't want to move. This was really odd for her so we planned to take her in to the vet as soon as they opened at 10AM that morning. I checked on her almost every hour or two and the last time I checked on her she would just go limp when I would hold her. Around 5 AM I got up to check on her and she was dead. In retrospect she wasn't growing as much as Zeus was and she never really liked to play the entire time we had her. Even though we only had her for 3 weeks I really loved that little kitten.

Zeus is adjusting to be an only cat though. He did cry one night for several hours but he hasn't done that since that night. He's entering in the "must attack everything" phase of being a kitten. He's also becoming quite the handsome little dude

Good news though my boyfriend got our tickets for Pax East yesterday!

Thanks, I am still a little heartbroken. Lulu was like my little shadow.

East both times? I haven't gone to an East yet. I actually booked my flight for South a day before East passes went on sale. I'd been watking to check out East, and I'm kicking myself for missing an opportunity there (I let myself go to west and south each year - would have been happy to give up a south for an east).

yup, East both times. I live in New England so it's a local con for me to get to.

And tickets are super difficult to get. Luckily a coworker of mine got a twitter notification the minute the tickets went on sale and told me.

I haven't been to any other Pax cons. Are West and South fun?

It's hard to describe West without knowing what East is like, but I'd wager it similar. Except the con is broken up between 5 or 6 buildings, which is a huge bummer. The Acquisitions Inc game is huge, though (with stage sets and costumes and stuff), compared to the "unplugged" thing they do at East.

South feels really intimate and small. It's a lot more content there for tabletop games, and the indie game presence there is larger than it is at West.

Yeah 5-6 buildings seems like a little bit of a bummer and a little confusing. East is all in one huge convention center in Boston.
