Dragoncon, Day the Third

[weaktwos]

kellinator: Dragoncon comes but once a year. It's better than Christmas because it lasts four days.
weaktwos: By that analogy, it's only half as good as Hanukkah.

So, here we are at the Pink Palace. Or, for those into speaking French, Le Palais de Rose. But we're not, so fuck it. For those of you who have not seen the posts of my partners in Dragoncon crime (reannon, kellinator, or ariedana), the Best Western is dubbed the Pink Palace due to the choice of exterior paint. Once you cross the threshold into the box that is your room, it is your garden variety hotel room. Four people is a bit much for this room, however, it's doable.

There are three of us in the room right now. Two are feeling the adverse affects of over-indulgence. Me, I'm just feeling like taking a break. Though seeing my posts from the past few nights, you can all justifiably conclude that I have indeed been overindulging as well.

My utilikilt is on order. I dropped trou and got sized today.

I have seen the likes of Randall Schwartz, Warren Ellis, Peter David, Dr. Demento, Julie Benz, Elonka, and some others.

The interesting thing about cons, which I'm sure most of you have figured out, is that so many dorks of various types. Now, had they not all converged in this mecca of nerdy pursuits, they might have felt alone in their dorkiness. They are alone no longer. There is bound to be another person here whose freakiness aligns with yours. There's a degree of comfort in that.

Furthermore, you are guaranteed to experience or see something you have not seen before, unless you have been going to this con for years.

I've also learned why it gets the nickname of "Drama-con".

What other objective would one join the SCA, but to mingle and frolic with wenches and knaves? Why on earth were you a part of SCA if you were married?

Then again, many of the married folks here, or the relationship bound folks, are allowed to stray from their committments insofar as making out and fondling goes.

I joined the SCA because I wanted the company of hearty,stalwart men, Guys who knew how to swing a sword, sing in key and drink well. Wenching was very low on the list, Despite a wife who wanted me to take a Mistress. I was the retainer of the head of a household, the Axe-bearer and First man for my Master. That was the reason for joining the SCA, not the wenching- I've a former lovcer who is an homoree in the SCA, and she was responsible for getting me involved, but the Politics got me out. Getting laid wasn't the point. It was fighting and fellowship.
