The Hit List - Readers Studio 2018

Last week, I shared a few pics from my first days in New York. Here are pics from the Readers Studio, the annual tarot conference.

Wednesday night was dinner in Chinatown with some fab tarot peeps. My choice: Rice and Gold.

I had pho dumplings – dumplings filled with pho soup! SO good.

Thursday was the Tarot and Psychology event. I skipped that and headed into the city to play. First stop was breakfast at Veselka with my friend JeMaja. We filled up on pierogies and kielbasa – the breakfast of champions!

Next, I headed off to the Bowie exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum.

Then it was time to meet up with my friend Gillian, the genius behind The Hamilcast podcast, to discuss Game of Thrones theories. I hope she liked my Missandei theory…heh heh.

Friday, the conference was ON. Ruth Ann Amberstone opened with a ritual.

I had the honor of introducing and interviewing my idol, Mary K. Greer.

More pics from the weekend! Mary Greer:

Saturday night banquet:

Simone was my hot date for the banquet. We’ve been friends for 30 years. I love love love this woman like a sister.

I adore the Amberstones. Here I am with Wald and Ruth Ann:

Sunday it was time for coloring, certificates, closing ceremonies – and heading into the city with friends.

Full Moon in Scorpio over New York!

All in all, it was a stellar conference and an excellent experience. Thanks again to the Amberstones for nailing it this year despite all the challenges. Cannot wait for next year!
