I has returned!


...bet you didn't even know I was gone, did you?

Anime Fest was a pleasant con to sell shirts at. Very few really weird/want to tell you their life story folks. Sales were decent, and the World's Best Niece is good company. [livejournal.com profile] alycorn came by a couple of times, and she's always wonderful, even if she forgot the waffle maker. ;-) Still and all, it was a nice change from the madhouse that is working at Dragon*Con.

We made it out to Half Price Books' 20% off sale, and ate several amazing breakfasts at a wonderful place called Mama's Daughters' Diner--whose name I love because they got the apostrophes correct--and an extremely cute young man chatted up the Niece at the convention.

It's a funny thing about the Niece. She has many tattoos and piercings, yet every guy who has asked her out is clean-cut. I find this hilarious. However, her chatting up the nice young man going into the Navy had a nice benefit--he was waiting around after the show to help us load up the van. Score!

Well, I have today and tomorrow off. I tried to sleep in this morning, but they decided to start working on the roof of my apartment building today, instead of last week (as they had told us). Ah well.

It sounds like a nice con!

I loved going to DragonCon, but I think if I had to be trapped in the dealers' room all day every day, I'd go nuts, just from the heat and the noise.

Yeah, at Dragon*Con I would take bathroom breaks just to sit someplace quieter for a while!

Oi! I didn't FORGET it (in fact, I still have it in the trunk of my car) - I just didn't have time to gather together all the bits and bobs I have to bring with me to go along with ;) Making waffles is a lot more complicated when you don't have a kitchen to do it in!

Glad you had a good con (and nice weekend with the Niece!) - I do enjoy that convention, so I like hearing other people's perspectives.
