Will be putting my pictures online after the longass drive home tomorrow.  Internet's been slow as molasses here, and I have something like 470 pictures.  Not all good, but some are just simply *AWESOME* and I'll probably get some more tomorrow.  Maybe.

Argh. The con has kicked my old ass. As with the others, pics will begin to be posted after returning

One little point of bad news (as far as I know, anyway): the planned all-the-forumites-in-one-place picture never happened at the dinner as we had thought it would. We didn't even manage to set up a pic of FOUR betas in ONE place WITH Jim, and since one of the four has needed to leave already today, it can't happen. *weeps unmanly tears*

While I'm thinking about it (and before this old brain goes into standby), I wanted to give a BIG thumbs-up to aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the forumites I've met for the first time this weekend, as well as the ones I've already met and got a chance to catch up with again. You folks are Teh Awsum in convenient megadoses. And if I've seemed distracted, it's just been me trying to track down my AWOL brain.

By the way, our Lord and Master (Iago) has a child that is officially TOO MUCH CUTE. Even in her Baby Warden outfit, she has powers that threaten the fabric of reality. And she's utterly mesmerized by Jim. Figured she'd be captivated more by the OOHSHINY of Shannon and her personally-made jewelry, but oh well.

I intended to have more pictures and just didn't get them.  Too much good conversation at the table at the fan dinner! 

Shecky, it was truly a pleasure to meet you as well!  I wish now that I'd had a room at the con and had more time to spend hanging out with people instead of driving back and forth.  The same goes for all the others I met.  It was a pleasure my dears.

Both the kidlets at the dinner were utterly adorable.  Maybe that's why I didn't get so many pictures either, I was sitting next to one and she told me all about the princess book she was writing. 

To everyone traveling back home, I wish you safe and expedient travel.  To those flying out of Norfolk Int'l. Airport, wave as you take off, you'll fly right over my house.

Shecky, remember HArry said that there is a lot of magic in a baby smile. The little girl should be hugely powerful. And it seems that she knows a powerful wizard when she see one  ;D

I was there!It was so awsome, he is so cool. I was 5th in the book signing line, Shannon said I was cute (which just perked me up), during the interview I was the frist fan to ask a question. I would like to thank Shannon and Jim for coming to VA.  I hope they enjoyed their time here and will come back soon.

Oh, I updated my "I made an art" post with pictures of the "surprise" that I was waiting to show at the con before I revealed here.  Take a look, it has great levels of awesomeness if I do say so myself.

*sigh* always a day late and a dollar short, lol. I'm just now hearing about this and I only live a couple of hours away. I should really keep an eye on his schedule!

For sure.  Keep an eye out for his book release tour dates too which should be late July methinks.
