I posted a small handful of photos to Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=2396801&id=607970

At cons, I've gotten in the habit of letting other folks take pictures. :D  Can't wait to see everyone else's shots!

After the year I had it was awsome. If it sparkles, don't drink blood its a fairy! I loved Zan Lord group. I just had on a hello kitty t-shirt, a fox tail, and a black hat, when my hat was off i had pink, organe, and blonde hair. I sometime refer to myself as a severant of Mab (I named my cat Mab, and as we all know cat's have staff not owners). I think next year/next con I will be going alone just so I can hook up with friends. Everyone there was the best. And the Harry look alike(the one giving out the card) was the best Dresden there, and now I can brag I hugged Harry >_> <_< a very YAY moment.

And now the facebook album.  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=705106851&aid=270194  As it says, I did quick and dirty edits to the photos.  If you would like yours removed, just ask and I will.  And if I didn't tag you it's because I'm horrid with names, please tag yourself if you'd like.

I didn't get nearly as many pics as I would have liked.

Sorry I couldn't make it as planned, guys.  There were... a lot of events that happened in my life, and one of them was that I had to surrender all my dogs.  They all found homes before I was ready to take them back, and I couldn't have taken all of them anyway, but this weekend I was able to get Bascha back (my Belgian).  There was no way I could pick her up and then leave her alone all day in a strange place.

I was looking forward to going to Marscon, but while that would have been fun and it would have been great to meet everyone, getting Bascha back was important. :)

You were missed, but I understand the importance of getting a furbaby back home!

We had a great time at the con.  I didn't get to meet as many forum peeps as I would have liked.  :(  But awesome of awesome, I got to sit diagonally across from Jim at the dinner.  :D  He's a lot of fun to talk to.  Matt was straight across from me and we all talked aboutthe movies we liked and didn't like and all sorts of other things.  Thank you so much Priscilla from arranging the dinner.  You are truly awesome.  :)

Oh yah, so I chased down Iago (Fred Hicks) and held out my DFRPG books and said "Fred, there seems to be an omission in my DFRPG books, the credits don't say who did the layout.  Can you fix that for me?"  Which is a reference to some comments he made in The Walking Eye interview last year about how he spent 2 weeks screaming through the layout and then in doing it he forgot to credit himself for the layout. 

Here's what he wrote on my Credits page.
