Yesterday I managed to find the fun things that I did expect from this weekend. I’d bumped into people often enough that they stopped feeling like total strangers and I had starting points for conversations. Howard was also in a more social mode.
Just a note of caution: Active seven-year-old twin boys should NOT be fed caffinated gum. And definitely not several packs at a time. The should then NOT be turned loose with little to no parental supervision.
I’m tired. I’m glad I came. I have observations and thoughts, but I’m currently too groggy to organize them.
Congratulations. 😀 Part of the fun with cons, at least for me, is the fact that you run into people who have shared interests but are total strangers otherwise – and those differences are as interesting as the shared interests. I’m glad you managed to get in some fun yesterday.
And given this was a Sci-Fi/Open Source con, the fact that they had caffeinated products around isn’t surprising… and no, those don’t belong in the hands of seven-year olds either. Of course, I used to be a caffeine pusher at my old workplace, so…
(“Psst! Want a mint? It has caffeine AND guarana in it!”)
It was a lot of fun playing Star Munchkin last night, and the webcomic panel was cool… I’m glad I got a chance to meet you!
You know, now that I see a photo of you with the tophat and compare it tone of your older avatars, that hat seems smaller in real life as I somehow expected it to be bigger. 😀
Yeah, this was drawn by Josh Phillips. He has a habit of drawing big hair… perhaps that extends to hats as well…
Big hair, big eyes, big….
Let’s not go there. 😀
Big everything else, though.
Star Munchkin was indeed loads of fun. It was one of the things I was really hoping to get to do during the weekend. I need to remember for the future that playing cards with webcartoonists is hilarious fun because they’re so practiced at making good jokes.
It was nice to finally meet you in person.
