My con report is I had a blast from Thursday to Sunday.

Thursday evening meet one lady who I can not remember her name and we talked and I said that I was hoping that my daughter would have time off this weekend and may be she could join me for a couple of hours. (But she did not have this weekend off.)

Then on Friday afternoon she came up to me and said "Oh I see that your daughter made it." I gave that look of what the heck are you talking about. And she said the young lady that was sitting with you on the couch a few minutes ago and the one that you were sitting beside at the JB reading. Well the only Lady I have been sitting with up to that point was our Goddess of the henge. Hmmmm that is food for thought!

Saturday got some makeup from one of the dealers of a black eye, messed with the minds of people attending, told them that the black eye was from one of the booth babes and her chain link flay. We both got a lot of mileage out of that. Saturday did my Monty Python costume and got a whole lot of laughs out of that too.

Saturday evening at dinner spent about 15 minutes with JB getting some of his ideas about some Dresden Files costumes. He filled in some details of parts of the costume that I was thinking about and that was just fine.

Sunday was listening to more of the stories that JB had to tell. And catching up with David Weber and clan.

So what's the 'Cellie-directed "research" you talked about?

Your kids were amazing at dinner (+your 'extra one' was funny too:) what neat people, and a testament to your job as mom/teacher. Very cool!

I also got to sit by David at dinner, and noticed the black eye but thought that it would be rude to comment on. Now I wished I had... sigh ...

David- Glad to 'hear' that you got home safely!

If you're talking about the book he mentioned in the "Whodunit" panel - the supernatural Western - it's called "Devil's Tower", Cyanreth.

Jim had thought it was called "Deadly Doses," but the book on poisoning is actually called "HowDunit: The Book of Poisons" from Writer's Digest.  (link is store-friendly!)  The subtitle is "Discover Deadly Doses to Kill Off Characters."

thanks, Dville. good to have outside confirmation we're doing something right every once in a while!

my only regret from the weekend is that I did NOT get one of the cool skirted corsets the pretty lady from Denver was selling. The one that really fit me well, was not in a fabric sturdy enough for my rough and tumble life style and I couldn't get away from my own table to go shopping for fabric.

and thanks for book link, Priscellie! Definitely ordering that one. Great GM resource.

I am NOT sending that link to our DM. He already has books full of traps, pitfalls, snares and the like. Too many ways already to die.

My girlfriend got one of those corsets. She's been tapestried!

She also got me a late Valentine's present...the world's most kickass bowler. From an old friend from college I haven't seen in ages. I was thin, then.

Got to be on panels, except the Talking Durning the Movies because they started on time (whoever heard of such a thing?) and I was 5 mins late due to spending 20 mins trying to get our check from the hotel restaurant. Had a blast, dinner worked out amazingly well (I overtipped our waiter, he was so damn good).

My only wish was that Jim could have attended the con, instead of his beardless twin Jerome.
