It’s everybody’s dream to make THE NEW YORK TIMES, LOL!

My sister put this little blue arrow on the pic to show where I am.

How was my time at Necro? I’ll be posting a round-up with some of my favorite pics later this week. Imagine my surprise this morning, though, when an article on NECRONOMICON PROVIDENCE showed up in my news feed. I was reading the article, and I was looking at all the pictures closely to see if I could ID any of my friends or people I knew. I spotted, up in the corner of one picture, this tiny little person that had the same dress as me.

LOL. See me checking out my book to try to find the room this party was in? The back of my neck looks amazing.

It turned out it WAS me. Don’t you think the back of my neck and my $13 Target backpack look amazing? I just cracked up! Still, it’s kind of cool. What’s extra funny is that this photo was taken on Saturday night, probably at around 7:40 pm. I was getting ready to go to the HWA-RI chapter’s release party for their awesome anthology, WE ARE PROVIDENCE, and I couldn’t find the room the party was in. So I pulled over and looked at my guide to see if I could figure it out.

And that’s the moment the picture was snapped.

I’ve made The New York Times. Maybe not in the way I expected, but achievement unlocked! 🙂
