I am in fact back form GenCon, having spent two days surrounded by geeks, nerds, dorks, and loonies of all shapes, colors, sizes (and smells). All in all . . . meh. Similar to last year's GenCon, except with a lot less money and lot more not losing money. I *did* have a fucking fantatsic time playing the games I did-- the guys from Impossible Dream rock my socks. I think Dread is now one of my favorite games EVAR. On the other hand, there was a whole lot of sitting around and then walking long distances to places, waiting some mor,e and then walking some more.

I think, if I go again next year, my enjoyment will be vastly bolstered by having a plan in advance, having money to spend, having a valid badge and having some means of providing for myself and not having to cling to people in order to not be terrified by the throngs of *people*. It would be nice to be able to go back to a hotel room when I want to.

And as usual the art room was throughly depressing, as in awesome, as in ego-shattering. Le sigh.

And now, I work. And unpack some more. OH EM GEE I AM SO TIRED OF MOVING/ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES.

Oh . . . and the dealer's hall had a shocking lack of shinies. WTF.

Impossible Dream? I think I terminaly scarred one of them in an elevator with a discussion about my erection.

That IS the key.

Hey, I know it's a bit last minute, but is there a game on tomorrow...today? Tanx and splosions.

If by game you mean Aberrant, I don't believe so. If by game you mean something else, then ... I have no idea. :)

It's funny you say that, because one of the things I thought as I looked at several of the artists (and *especially* some of the scifi/anime ones) was "Wow, Avery's more talented than this guy! WTF?"

You will totally make it, and then you'll get to go to GenCon for free and make money selling art and I will come by and get my original print from you and talk about gaming with you "back in the day" and all the gamer boys clustered around your booth will be horribly jealous. I will try not to laugh at them too hard. ;-)

and day trips are wonderful things.
especially when ending the day with a wonderful dinner with silly friends.

glances at lillornyn

your art will shine up the room.
perhaps the yote and you should split booth costs next year?
