…and it’s not even like there actually was any cables or anything to trip over back there. The projectors were all out on the other side of the screen, and all the sound stuff was in a control booth over at the side of the room. I guess it’s just decades of being around TVs with massive jungles of cables behind them that’s conditioned me to think “Behind the screen is where all the stuff is that you don’t touch.”

Of course, the ACTUAL disconcerting was just being in there setting up at all while there was technically an entire other event still taking place. But that’s a topic I’ll be getting deeper into a couple pages later.

Also, SEE?  I actually DID finally make it into the convention at some point!  These comics really AREN’T just me sightseeing around DC!
