Bree comes home for a long Spring Break, arriving at SeaTac some time after midnight.
Bree takes Jan to Emerald City ComicCon. The day before she’d gone with her friend, Marina, but her plan to attend today with another friend fell through.
Bree was alreayd planning to cosplay as Mabel Pines from the cartoon series, Gravity Falls, so she proposed that Jan attend as Mabel’s grand-uncle Stanley Pines, “Gruncle Stan”. Stan’s fixed wardrobe in the show is a dark suit, a red fez, a small red tie, and thick black glasses. Bree whips up a nice-looking fez and tie in no time, and knocks the lenses out of an old pair of sunglasses.
Gruncle Stan’s default expression is a combination of concern and fear, which Jan does his best to capture:
At the convention, we attend a panel discussion featuring the cast of Critical Role, Bree’s favorite D&D channel on YouTube. We spend the rest of our time at the convention walking through the exhibit hall of artists and the giant hall of merch.
Angela’s plans to go skiing are thwarted — by too much snow.
Although the Pacific Northwest has seen very little snow this winter, here at the edge of Spring the mountains are getting a fair amount. This week’s forecast predicted a blizzard bringing a ton of fresh snow today, so Angela and a friend had made plans to ski at Crystal Mountain. She’s up bright and early when she learns that snow and fallen trees have closed the road.
Meanwhile, we get the first snow of the season in our own neighborhood. It snows all morning.
Jan takes Bree shopping at Pacific Fabrics in the SoDo District so she can buy green fabric to make her prom dress. By the late afternoon, our upstairs loft is buried in scraps of green.
Later Bree discusses with Jan some mischief she’s instigated with some friends.
Jan: It sounds like you’re sowing discord…
Bree: And dresses!
Jan passes by the Arboretum wetlands on a long training walk, looping across Lake Washington and back on the floating bridges.
