See, that was back in the days before I’d ever had an Artist Alley table or done any extensive panel hosting, so I couldn’t comprehend how anyone could even come to a con and not spend the whole time running around the place.

But yeah, I realized the only thing I HAD to get done before leaving was printing all my stuff, so I spent pretty much my whole Thursday sitting in the hotel room assembling things.

(Historical Notes: …and THEN I realized that I wasn’t making back enough to justify what I was putting into all that stuff and went right back to just showing up and running around the whole time.  Well, okay, I did start sitting in one place a lot more, I HAD gotten a decade older and a fair bit heavier by that point.)
