Yup, the very first time I went to the Gaylord it was pretty snowy, too. (and before anybody brings up Katsucon 2003, that was a different hotel, and I wasn’t at that one anyway)

That night presented me with an odd conflict of emotions. On the one hand, I’m a Southern Boy, so my first reaction to ANY snow is to cheer and frolic around in it like a stupid child. On the other hand, I was seeing all these HORRIFIC tweets from people who hadn’t arrived yet and were being delayed, which made me feel kinda guilty about enjoying it too much. Granted, it was nothing compared to what some people had to go through to get home again AFTERWARDS…

(Historical Notes: Oh man, I had so many WILDLY worse winter cons at the Gaylord, I’m not even sure which one to vaguely reference here…)
