State of the blonde.

Well, here we go.

As many of you have no doubt heard, through one channel or another, I'm getting ready to move to the Seattle area. The move is becoming increasingly, terrifyingly real, and at this point, I'm not sure I could slow down the process if I tried. (Which is probably a good thing, because let's be honest here: if I thought I could slow down something this stressful, I very well might.)

As part of my prep, I am opening a short-term Patreon called The Toaster Project, which you can read about here. The formal launch will happen in late May/early June, but as physical rewards are limited, I wanted to give all y'all the first crack at claiming them. A banner image and welcome video and all that good stuff will be forthcoming. In the meantime, Tara made me some snazzy welcome images, and also there are cat pictures.

Hooray for cat pictures.

We've pledged - you already had a line in our budget for the recurring tip jar, so we bumped it up a bit for the duration. Best of luck with the move, while we'll miss having you relatively local, we wish you the best. I remember how stressful buying a house and moving was when living in the same town as where we were moving, I can't imagine trying a long-distance move. Here's to everything going as smoothly as possible!

(An unrelated side note, because it happened while I was typing this, Joshua's choice of toy to bring in to daycare for this morning's show-n-tell was the plush penguin she won off your raffle table the first or second time we brought her to a Borderlands event. While she was too young to remember the event, we appear to have told her about it enough that she has a whole story about getting Penguin.)

I will still be doing Borderlands events, so I'll still see you!

Josh is best. <3 That penguin, and her joy, was why we started making sure to always have kiddie prizes.

Yay! I didn't want to ask, so as to not add to stress, but that makes us very happy. And who knows, we may even make it up to your new region when you're doing an event there sometime. Sarah's got extended family in Seattle, and some of my High School friends ended up settling there, so we have a few potential reasons for an excursion.
