Delphine is finally reading A Dance With Dragons, while she’s not watching her baby’s first steps.

Jules has been busy enjoying the first two weeks of summer vacation. Last week, she interviewed some of the women from GeekGirlCon. The interview is now available for download.

Ruth is on vacation from vacation, which is to say, back in real life after spending a week in the back seat with a five-year-old and a two-year-old. She’s planning for a trip to Vancouver and feverishly trying to get costuming done before Dragon*Con.
