I arrived late at the (pre-FediCon) dinner because I went and picked-up a cake for @deadsuperheroSean Tilley surprise birthday party.
(FediCon was happening in my old neighborhood — I used to live 2 blocks away from Robson Square. I knew where to get a cake from.)
Luckily, @deadsuperheroSean Tilley hadn't arrived yet, and was later than I was (so he didn't see the cake, and the surprise wasn't spoiled).
