Famous Last Words


So I've been to a lot of cons. I've walked my tail off for four days straight carrying armloads weighing over 30 pounds. I thought I was this hardened convention veteran. And yet I was not prepared for Comic_con!

We staid in a hotel that was around a 15 minute walk to the convention center, which isn't bad, until you've done the walk 4 times before noon and discover your shoes are not in fact all that comfortable (you can tell because of the blood) and your bag is leaving welts around your neck. On the upside, I managed to not gain any weight despite the piles of food consumed at every turn. *urp* And it was really hard accomplishing anything because we were doing so much stuff!

Our hotel situation went from tragically bad to wonderful in a matter of hours, thanks to some terrible luck that landed us in a weird-arse little place where see-through showers are seen as a good idea and vermin are hiding in the gadgets, followed by some miraculously good luck that got us into Embassy suites with a beautifully boring layout and the best damn continental breakfast I've ever experienced. *URP!* Kinda whiplash-inducing, but a great story.

For everybody who came by the booth and took fliers or bought stuff from No Need For Bushido and/or Zap! or came to the Keenspot panel, you rock and we love you! If you missed us, worry not, we are SO going back next year. (maybe I'll even have stuff of my own!)

Okay, as for the update, I am working on the page right now. I'm going to try very hard to finish it tonight, but there's at least one background I want to make pretty, so it might be here tomorrow afternoon, but no later. Thank you for reading, and welcome to all new readers!

Luv ya!
