Pictures!  Of course I didn't run into everyone though I very nearly literally ran into Jim.  I'm glad I looked up when I did and that he didn't seem to notice.

WHo are we looking at and who are they portraying?  (Although Michael is an easy guess for the gent!)

Aine is dressed as Lara and I for the life of me I cannot remember his name, but yes he is Michael.   I'm so horrible at learning names. (Sorry!)

Ahhhh, Dunkin Donuts coffee. *slurp* *slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp*

Started off the con in fine fashion. Just before opening ceremony, 'Cellie said to me, "Hey, that's Terry," one of our betas whom I've never met. Went to hug her... and head-butted her. Way t'go, Shecky!

There will be photos.

Kittenbot and I got there after all the festivities had been in full swing.  :D  I won't mention the hardcover copy of Storm Front that I have with me. You will have fight past Harry himself to get to it. And Murphy.  (Esperacchius and Gilly)  ;D

Woo hoo!  Thank you all for the updates!  The flu brigade need their vicarious goodies! 

Hooray for peeps in Warden Cloaks!  Is it cool enough to actually be wearing them, this time?  I can't wait for the group shot!  Woo hooo!

They did not expect this kinda crowd.  Lots of people weren't able to get into the reading, and the room where they were going to sign was tiny.  Signing and Jim's Q&A got changed to the ballroom.  Very much bigger.  It's frikkin hot, though. Outside temp is around 50ish, and feels quite a bit hotter in here.

Oh that is Aïne! I am glad to meet her. And Michael's costume is wonderful.
Have a great time, people!
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

I believe that is VandalGryphon, her porter ;)

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
