Dragon*Con, Day the Fourth

[weaktwos]

I'm not sure I can present this whole weekend in an orderly fashion, but I shall essay a recap.
First, tis time for a Bad Gothic Poem, thanks to Voltaire and his book:

Wretched is the core of my existence.
Unhappily I walk through the strange reality
Until childhood fears shred me of my turmoil.
Demons, demons, demons.
Thou art my annihilation.


First, Day the Fourth:

The Dragon Ladies of the Pink Palace (reannon, ariedana, and kellinator and myself) awoke to a maid attempting to lay seige to our room. This set off a chain reaction of alertness as we remembered we all had places to be and parking to pay. We peeled ourselves out of bed (each day seemed to get a little harder, in a way) and gathered our wordly possessions. ariedana had to head home with libidoergosum, so we said our farewells.



First order of business was to attend Elonka's session on uncracked codes. Getting into Cryptography might be fun. I shall start to dabble.

Then it was time to attend reannon's reading of some of her short stories. About four other people who didn't know her showed up, and that's a good thing.

After that, reannon and I had to rush off to our respective planes. So then we said our farewells to the mighty kellinator. The world became a quieter place, as I no longer had someone around to ask me, "Are you my mommy?" anymore. *sigh* I hope reannon made it home safely. :-)

I also hope ariedana is having a huge blast tonight. :-)

Other Recaps:

So, thanks to the Dragon Ladies, I managed to meet a lot of cool people. vernard and zorathenne are an adorable pair of people as well superb and generous hosts. Their friends Derrick and CJ were delightful. Derrick is the spittin' image of Tim Curry. And since I love Tim Curry, he was fun to gaze at. There were tons of other people there, but I have to remember all their lj nicknames, first. They really know how to make a gal regret she lives in California.

dslartoo was also quite cool. I happened to end up tailing him on a Dragonlance 20th Anniversary panel. By accident, I caught the tail end of Sunday night's ARTC show, "The Menace from Earth". What I saw of it was fantastic. Had I known about those shows beforehand, I would have made a point to attend them in their entirety. Radio shows are fantastic fun. It just goes to show you, there are so many things for everyone at Dragon*Con.

It was a grand time. I am quite honored to have met all these wonderful people. Experiencing kellinator's snark first hand was good clean fun.

Tangent: did I actually say that Ann Coulter was Satan's abortion? Yes, I think I did.

Ann Coulter

That's much more creative than what I've been calling her -- another word that starts with a "c." Methinks I'll be swiping that one for all future references. :)

Sure! Praise the Lord and pass the insults!

*snap* I forgot to crank call you this weekend from the con. You should have gone. :-)

Damn! We were going to crank-call him at 2 a.m. from some loud party and pass the phone around, weren't we? Rats.
