I actually end up spending the nights before most cons like this. If it’s not something simple like getting cosplay finished, then I’m probably going over stuff for a panel or reacquainting myself with something that I’m going to a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Note too self: all those people waiting for the bus under the tree at the far side of the parking lot aren’t wimps, they’re SMARTER THAN YOU. Thankfully, most of this had died down before the con kicked in. Still,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
