Another Miniature Weekend bites the dust

Hi y'all! Look at this little guy. Isn't he sweet?Ok, that's my crazy cat lady moment for today. Time to get serious. There's a lot of stuff to tell y'all about.
Some of you may remember that May 15th was Miniature Showcase!! It's the very silly (I mean cool) event that my entire year revolves around. Really. You can see my pictures here. It was a tough decision, but this year I picked up (another) appetizer tray from Autumn Leaf Studios. It makes me very very happy.
We stayed (again) at The Belmont Hotel. It's great. They left us-ok, just John-a little handwritten note! Cute. If you're in the big D, please go there.
On Saturday night, we happened upon an Uncle Lucius show at Lee Harvey's. Remember? That's the place with all the wicked cool beer signs. You can see my pictures of them from last year's mw here.
On Sunday we met the Starks for a fancy brunch at the Modern in Fort Worth. Then we went to see Michelangelo's first painting at the Kimbell. It was fantastic! Demons and stuff. Cool. Plus there was a painting of John there!
In the car I tried to hunker down and knit for real, with mixed results. I got to the foldy part.
You probably don't remember what this might someday become. Here's a reminder.
In less happy news, our friend and half of our followers JDS and his wife Megan moved away to LA last week. The only bright spot in the darkness is that Megan is going to work for Marketplace!! (note to non-nerds: it's a radio show) And Marketplace is hosted by one of my (many) imaginary boyfriends, Kai Ryssdal! Maybe she can put in a good word for me...(joke! joke!)
Speaking of film (we were, kind of, because Jack makes movies, remember?) on Friday we got all brainy and watched 8 1/2. I LOVED it.
Oh yeah, did you know there's a Tom Landry freeway? The sign has a little hat on it. (I didn't get a picture and I can't find one on these dang internets!!) I love Texas.
