Yay! My sister is awesome. \u003Ca href=\"http://www.marymcintyrepaintings.com\">(You can see some of her paintings here.)\u003C/a> My parents also e-mailed a few photos of them and their friends and Gus, the guy who owns the historic \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Moon_Tavern\">Blue Moon\u003C/a>, where my sister works. She's a bit of a \u003Ca href=\"http://www.ratcityrollergirls.com/teams/dlf/bios/dlf-burnett-down.html\">roller derby star\u003C/a>, and several of her paintings had a roller derby theme.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/maryshow1-614d7fe928.jpg\">\\r\n\u003C!--more A couple more pics here-->\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/maryshow3-3d9f9bdd29.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/maryshow2-172afd64f8.jpg\">\\r\n(My sister just told me that she gave my dad that sweater and now he almost never takes if off.)\\r\n\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cb>The DFC\u003C/b> has one more issue coming out this Friday before it packs in, at least for now. It's been amazing how everyone's pulled together since we heard the bad news. I know I've met so many amazing people through the project; the only one I'd ever met previously to doing the DFC was Simone Lia, when we managed to convince my art college tutor to invite her in to give a talk. It sounds like everyone really wants to stay in touch, and a few of us met up for drinks this weekend and had a good chin wag.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dfcdrinks1-2078114225.jpg\">\\r\n\u003Cb>Laura Howell\u003C/b> \u003Ci>(The Mighty M)\u003C/i>, Laura's partner Tim, \u003Cb>James Turner\u003C/b> \u003Ci>(Super Animal Adventure Squad)\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dfcdrinks2-ef1d661afb.jpg\">\\r\n\u003Cb>Faz Choudhury\u003C/b> \u003Ci>(Dead Pets Society, colouring for Good Dog, Bad Dog)\u003C/i>, \u003Cb>John Aggs\u003C/b> \u003Ci>(John Blake, Robot Girl)\u003C/i>, \u003Cb>Gary Northfield\u003C/b> \u003Ci>(Little Cutie)\u003C/i>","2009-03-23T23:23:00.000Z","hurrah-for-my-sister",[],"hurrah for my sister!",1776628731067]
