Once again, into the fray

[shadesofmauve]

Pinniped played at the Duvall Coffee House over the weekend, and I dare say a grand time was had by all -- except perhaps that one couple that looked like they'd swallowed matching lemons, but I kinda got the impression that lemon-face was standard for them.

Other things continue apace -- I've been writing a lot, the patio is finished, the patio has been grilled on (well, the grill has been grilled on, and the grill was on the patio), I fought an epic flea-removal battle, and my office at work flooded and I had to paddle to safety on a desk.

But mostly, we played a really awesome all-accoustic gig in Duvall, and they bought our drinks afterward.

Thank goodness, someone who knows what it means! *does a happy dance*

We had huge trouble picking a name, and in the end we went with the fact that A) it's fun to say, B) we're in a region with it's fair share of pinnipeds, and C) there are three of us (seals, sea lions, walruses, yay). But mostly A.

Our big point of failure? We all knew what it meant, and we kind of assumed everyone else did. Turns out most people don't know, so at best it ends up spelled incorrectly.

My coworker thought my trio was called Pin-up Head.

Huh. Pin-Up Head would be a good name for a band, though.

I love pinnipeds, all of them. I wrote a selkie story (fanfic), but am thinking of reworking it for original publication. I want to write more selkies!

Yay for pinniped-lovers!

We thought about 'selkie', but decided it sounded too... fluffy? mythological? new-age? And most importantly, already used.

So, being of a rather more scientific bent in general... pinniped!

I love selkies, too, though. Good luck with the rewrite!
