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 have pictures that will be uploaded at some point when I can see straight again. Came home this afternoon to new puppy having wreaked merry havoc on the entire house and had to do some major clean up.

You seemed a bit vague and faded yesterday. Sorry you're feeling crappy. I'm not doing so good physically myself. I was in bed all day Thursday with my friend Percoset. :(

Great dinner. My boys and I had a good time and I don't think I'll need to eat for a week now. The portion sizes at that place were monstrous. Very cool meeting so many folks.

Never been to Humperdinks. But I'm cool with that.

there's a Whole Foods at Beltline and Coit, just a short hop from the hotel. Is where the teens in our homeschool group like to hang out for some reason I do not fathom.

I think my husband will let me escape for dinner on Saturday. That'd be just nifty! 3 more days! *snoopy dance*

Cafe Brazil! That's it, thank you. Fantastic place.

"He despises Texas. Can't say as I blame him really..."

Not the most untrollish sentence you've ever uttered.

trollish? meh. just stating my horribly homesick opinion. I miss good food at reasonable prices. and not having to drive everywhere. and snow. and Lake Michigan, oh so much. *sigh*

havent' been to la madeleine yet. though there is one walking distance from my house. have to try that. I despise corner bakery though. Unfortunately, it's my dad's favorite so he always wants to go there when he comes to visit...which is much less since we moved to Dallas. He despises Texas. Can't say as I blame him really...

There is a great vegetarian Indian buffet at Beltline and Coit by the Whole Foods. However I just woke up and can't remember what it's called. There's also a Jason's Deli there in that same shopping center which is my absolute favorite place to go for a quick cheap lunch. Baked potato topped with bbq, cheese and sour cream? yes please! and at Beltline and the tollway there's Freebird Burrito which should not be missed if you've never eaten there before.

Those of you for whom this is your first convention saying "the main thing is just to meet the authors" ha ha ha! You are in for a heck of a weekend my friends. There is SO much fun to be had and friends waiting to be made. Generally I don't like to leave the hotel during a con (like little kids don't like to go to sleep --for fear they'll miss something), but I may be forced to run home and walk and feed my dog a couple of times during this one. :(

filk music: filk is sci fi folk music. It CAN be for funny, yes, but isn't necessarily. There's some heart rendingly beautiful filk music out there. Most filkers take their music pretty seriously (and some make their living from it.) I get irritated that it gets described so often as just parodies of familiar tunes. come to the filk at the con and check it out yourself. We had a heck of a sing at Fencon this year with some amazing talent.

I'm counting down the days! Most of my time (at least while the sun is up) will be spent behind a dealer table with my husband. We're the ones with the colorful chain maille shtuff. So...who all is going? I'm told they've had RECORD pre-reg for this con so there must be a good number of us going to be there, right?

We need to have a jim-butcher.com party saturday night guys. seriously.
