Ace Presentation at University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Apr 13, 2015swankivy2015, Appearances, Collections, Selfiesace, coffee, ivy, steven universe

I got to go to Minnesota and give an asexuality-related talk at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.

Airport coffee is sometimes a necessary evil.

I had planned to wear a different shirt for my actual presentation, but everyone liked my Ruby and Sapphire shirt so much that I decided not to change. 🙂

Not gonna change

The Spring Pride program in the queer student room. I was on it!

Here’s the Asexual Leadership Q&A panel–David Jay, me, and Sara Beth Brooks. We’re taking questions about the movement and our leadership.

The college paper The Varsity came by to take my picture for a feature.

A prompted selfie with Sara Beth and Cole–whee!

Cole, me, Sara Beth, ace convention!

Since it was an asexuality conference, there of course needed to be cake.

Cake at ace conference!

Here I am with Alexandra–quite an exuberant fan of mine, who treated me and David like we were celebrities or something. Hahaha.

Me with Alexandra, a big fan!

Poor Southie was so sleepy after the long drive the previous day and doing the conference the whole day that she was practically drunk, and still nerding on the computer.

I decided to take the cute purse Kari made for me on its maiden voyage . . . to Canada!

Purse made by Kari!

I was kind of surprised that the first thing I did in my Canadian hotel room was turn on the air conditioning. The Florida girl is hot in Canada? No way!

AC is on in Canada!

I got some local currency at the airport when I went to Canada. Can I blend in with the natives?

Canadian Currency!

I was so afraid I would get lost roaming the neighborhood looking for food, but I found a sushi restaurant and actually didn’t get lost! If it looks like I’m about to cry, it’s because honestly succeeding at finding my way someplace without getting lost actually does make me emotional. 🙂

I found sushi in Canada

I choked on my coffee TWICE in the airport because I drank it too fast.

I got a really sweet little gift from the UVa students: Chocolate candy!

The heater in my hotel had a remote control. I was impressed and perplexed.

Remote control heater??

During Asexual Awareness Week, the documentary (A)sexual was screening around the country. I’m in that movie, and one of my acquaintances got to see a New Jersey screening; she took a photo when I was on the big screen.
