Lampwick BBQ

This weekend, The Lampwick Continuüm traveled to Lafayette, LA, to Chris’ house, where they gorged themselves silly on all manner of char-broiled goodness. A variety of fire hazards were controlled, children were wrangled, and a lamp-lit cake was had for Nebe’s birthday.

Book Discussion and Potluck Dinner

On Saturday, March 7th, The Lampwick Continuüm held a discussion of Cory Doctorow’s “Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom“; in particular, the concept of Whuffie.

At this meeting, Matt distributed to each member a set of light and dark Lamp pins he had ordered based on plans made by the group. Karen and Walter premiered the finished edits of the commercials recorded at the last Video Rangers meeting.

Finally, this was followed by a potluck dinner with an Italian theme.

Pancake Breakfast

On the morning of Sunday, February 15th, The Lampwick Continuüm met at Jessica’s house for pancakes and related breakfast ephemera. The group discussed current television viewing such as Battlestar Galactica and the premiere of Dollhouse, as well as refining plans for upcoming events.

Matt brought prototype lamp pins from the trophy shop that will be producing them, and we agreed that they are excellent. Chris was officially presented with a lamp at this, his first Lampwick event since being made a member. Matt was awarded a Purple Thumb for grease-burns incurred in the line of duty.

Hibachi Dinner Report

Last night, the Lampwick Continuüm descended upon Ichiban’s Sushi Bar & Japanese Grill, occupying two Hibachi tables with 11 members in attendance as well as 5 guests and one member’s child. We were entertained (and only mildly singed) by their skillful chefs, and promptly devoured their handiwork. We also ate the hell out of some sushi and appetizers, not to mention desserts that could easily be considered meals in their own right.

An informal meeting to discuss club business followed the outing and ran well on into the night.
