Slept in a bit. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted slivered almonds, toasted shaved coconut, golden raisins; hot water. Folded and stored lots of laundry that Patrick had washed earlier. Stored things unpacked last night. Lunch: pork and vegetable steamed buns from frozen from Asian American Food Company, water. I washed dishes. Patrick napped, and I joined a while later. We arose then rode Lyft to Blondie's Bar. This was our first time going to Litquake. We met or encountered Lori, Anne, Alyse, Carol, Tim, Casey, Chris, and Andy. The conditions weren't great for a reading—no lights (at first) and no amplified sound—but for the most part people made it work. I recorded Patrick's 11 minutes, and he did a great job. Shortly afterwards we encountered Paolo and Lucie and stopped to briefly say hello. Afterwards we dined with Chris and Andy at Pakwan. They arrived in separate cars, and Chris generously gave Patrick and me a ride home. Patrick went to bed. I troubleshot and investigated better spam solutions and DMARC config. Chatted online with my hosting support, and I think I got what I needed for now.
