I don't know if I met anyone from here in person--I had about 12 hours of panels and stuff a day. I DID make the Shindig at opening time. Dayum, that was HUGE. Paramount are idiots.

How many hundred Jaynes were there?

My vote for best costume. She was spectacular.

I apologize. I couldn't resist shouting, "I SUPPORT UNIFICATION!" But most people seemed to realize it as a joke.

Now, ya see... If the blood drive vampires had just offered an opportunity to be bitten by a famous (or at least sexy) vamp as a reward, they could've gotten even more donations!

Me, I hate needles, so... *shudders!*

D*C was a blast! The addition of the Sky Bridge between the Hilton and the Marriott was a real bonus (no more ground level transit between the three main hotels).

As always, way too much to do (beats heck outta not enough), and the missus and I have the sore feet (and, in my case, as burden-bearer, back). We did get to see both performances by the Atlanta Theater Radio Company (Call of Cthulhu on Saturday, and Omnilingual on Sunday), which has always been an especial favorite of ours.

Didn't see any familiar Browncoat faces (we crapped out on the Shindig; too tired!), but that's okay. We also saw the trailer for Browncoats: Redemption, a new, Joss-blessed fan film which will release in 2010. Looks awesome shiny! More info at:

http://browncoatsmovie.com/

Most of the cast and some of the crew were there, as well as the folks behind KNTR, one of the charities benefiting from the proceeds of the film. If they can sell 32,000 DVDs, they figure they'll have a success. I figger we can surprise 'em by buying just a little bit more'n that.

Sadly, was probably our last D*C, since we plan to move off-continent in the coming year, and we've been attending since 1994. Y'all will have to fill in for us, and come back with lots more stories and pics, next year!

T'was as truly awesome con ( totally hearing you on the bed Whims)

And Navy , bless his sweet heart, brought me a packet of my favorite candy in the world ( which is only available in the UK)

And all the sweet people here and the 76th did a baby shower for me... the baby made out like a bandit:)

As do I. I haven't had good experience with them, I tend to get big bruises that last for weeks, and every time I think of them those old bruises all get phantom stinging pain. However, if James had offered to bite me the entire time they were jabbing me and drawing blood, I may have been able to do it.

Hey all,

I am very glad you all had a fabulous time and I might even be little jealous of PR's photo.

I managed to contain my jealousy over the weekend with 3 nights of 1 am finishes followed by 6 am starts leading up to Saturday's hand in, tutorial and then basically sleep till Monday.

And now I'm frantically trying to get final assignment done round Birthday weekend, wedding and a trip to Birmingham this weekend which isn't timed great but I get to see my sister for once and finally hear one of my best friends sing (she's a pro singer/voice coach/choir master) after 14 years of knowing each other. You never, know, one day she might see me behind a drum kit.

I need extra hours in the day damn it!

thanks nvg

enjoyment is not too much of an issue except for the early morning support calls but I do appear to be leading a life that Theodore Roosevelt might have approved as being sufficiently strenuous.

Not entirely my own fault but I am absolutely starting my course a few weeks early next year to get ahead of the game and so hopefully staying there!

Even my fantasy football draft had issues last night, dropped internet and misbehaving atuo pick managed to land me the Steelers D in round 4 (I'm a Bengals fan damn it) and then the Bucs d a few rounds later when my connection dropped again who even have the same damn bye week lol!

Rose- totally hear you there. I am currently praying to every known higher power that the sore throat and stuffy nose are travel related, pregnancy related, or allergy related and not a precursor of sickness as I have absolutely no sick days left that aren't slated for maternity leave...

Hmmm mandatory hand sanitizer and lysol dips for all con goers??

Well, maybe next year.

Except I'll probably be studying desperately by then, and not likely to take an entire weekend off from cramming information into my wee bitty brain pan.
(Plans to return to school finally for a master's degree in midwifery, but really needs to get settled into the new job first. Probably applying in about 6 months.)

Doctroid will be back tomorrow probably. I *might* be able to get the kitchen curtains done before then.
He *might* actually notice them, or that the old ones are down if I don't finish, but after a 12 hour drive it's doubtful.
