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.

« on: February 05, 2009, 05:58:22 PM »Seriously. I'm thinking of bringing an elephant tranquilizer to ConDFW.
With the other GOH David Weber you will need more than one elephant tranquilizer, MWW (Mad Wizard Weber) has know to do a con with 1 hr sleep a day. One con he he was up till 6am talking to his fans and was at Breakfast at 8am. When asked he said took him about a half hour to go to sleep and a half hour to get a shower. He had a panel at 9am. I know he was still at it at 2am playing spades the next night, asked him what time did he stop the spades game said the reply was "Around 5am", this was at 8:30am as he was leaving the breakfast bar.
If JB likes to play spades, Shannon will have her hands full, getting him to sleep!

« on: January 17, 2009, 12:47:52 PM »I plan on going to the Con for 1 day (on my day off) and spend a good portion of the day there. I have not been to Cons before. The main thing is to meet the two authors Butcher and Weber. Is there a listing of a specific time each will be available to talk and to and sign stuff? What is Filking? I don't expect them to do a 16 hour shift at a desk. It will also be great to meet others who love the books and discuss them. The Hotel is pretty nice with a big open atrium area with a very high ceiling and the suites are large. They do have some meeting rooms also. I live in the area and know some good restaurants nearby, so I can help some out of towners hit something other than McDonalds or Dennys to eat at. There is an OK chinese buffet down the block from the hotel and Pappasito's TEX-MEX Rest is great and Bone Daddy's House of Smoke BBQ is great, both a couple miles away, and A decent Bennihana's Japanese Stakehouse nearby.
But is there a Market nearby? I have found that a Stop and Rob (7/11 or something like that) just does not do it for Con vittles! And we will not even consider the hotel gift shop, do not even want to think about that one.
