- Where was it? ConDFW in Richardson, Tx....so Dallas basically. Missed a good panel due to fucking Dallas traffic. No offence to all you Dallasites out there but Dallas traffic sucks.
- Three days among my kind. Awesome. The best way to put it is how my mom put it="It's nice to be among like minded people." Indeed it is. Three days of being able to talk about the books and tv I like with other people who like them too. It's nice to geek out without people going "Oh...that's nice" or giving me the mal ojo, or looking at me like a total weirdo. Which I am but that's not the point.
- Now that I'm riding on a wave of convention love I'm looking at future ones instead of writing. Bad.
- So we went because two of our favorite authors were there-Jim Butcher and David Weber. Well, for David Weber, because we like one series he wrote but not the point. But I got to go to dinner with the Butchers and 30 people from the message board on the site. That, the car ride to dinner and the Butcher Block were the highlights of the convention for me. Love love love. And I got three books signed by Jim. :) Super nice, both of them.
- The hotel's breakfast buffet-not worth 12 bucks. Sorry ya'll.
- Favorite panel: (besides Butcher Block)- Cliches of Doom!
- Least Favorite: Paranormal Romance....for a certain author I shall not name.
- Costumes are awesome. And they were freaking out the little socialites that were in the lobby getting their pictures taken, which makes them twice as awesome.
- I had a 50 dollar budget and got 2 pendants, a pair of earrings, and 5 books. I'm awesome.
- Please, don't overpress your book on me. I get subsequent feelings of creeped out/guilt/not buying your book.
- Only at cons (and renfaires) will the dealer's room sell broadswords.
That's all I got for now. Pictures later. :)
