Conventional Wisdom

Okay, look, in fairness to me, the stores I wanted to swing by turned out both close a LOT earlier than I’d expected, so if I didn’t bail on the con early again, I wouldn’t have had time.

Also, you gotta understand that all the good Asian markets are over on the other side of Raleigh from me, including seriously the only store I know of in North Carolina that specifically Japanese and not just some kind of “Generic Asian” shop that happens to have some Japanese products.  It’s great shopping, but far enough away from home that I can’t really justify heading down there unless there’s already something else taking me out that direction anyway.  Darn it, I was gonna make sure I got SOMETHING out of this weekend, and if it wasn’t gonna be comic material, then at least it was gonna be a trunk full of ramen.

Oh, and before anybody asks, no.  I have no idea what was going on with the triangles in the hotel lobby.  It looked like something was clipping through the wall.
