That's where she and Sue differ. Sue says I can look all I want... but don't touch. Touch and there'll be miles and miles of brand-new pain.

Thanks Sameth. And now, without further ado, a butt load of pictures.

So typical... there is one of the back of my head, and then me (apparently) picking my nose... it's hard to be this cool... sigh... :)

Other than me, great pictures! :D

Do you want my story or the truth about ConDFW ;) ::) ;)


David, your bruise looked so real, I was afraid to ask about it at dinner...
My friend Robert is the one with the gaping neck wound with maggots. One of the 'maggots' slid down and I was going to pick it off his collar and put it back but I decided it enhanced the look. (AKA: It was so realistic that I wimped out... no metals for me) ;)

Brilliant pictures (you know, gross) :)

Once again, I had an awesome time last weekend... so what's up for this weekend? :)

@Dville: haha! funny. now quit chasing my kid's tail. LOL

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!

Coil was wearing a tail, so I chased it. Poor guy:)



The three muskeersride again!
Lacie, Robert and I after dinner with JB and Shannon!

(I just realized I am semi-molesting people in every picture I have... I am sure that is just a coincidence)

YES!!!!

I write, too, so the forums for me were unbelievably helpful! I feel as if I got a 'shot in the arm' of enthusiasm --and am still riding the high!

The Eroticism vs. Pornography panel was interesting, but not so much a debate as a giggle fest. It was fun, and (oddly) thought provoking.

But my favorite was World Building, so cool how these amazing authors have created their own worlds to play with! Amazing...

Did you go to panels?

Oh hey, we're talking about the con.

So yeah, this was the first con I've ever been to, really enjoyed it.  I got Jim to sign a copy of Twilight, on the theory that it would become better.  There is at least on part of it that is now readable. 

Ha! Brilliant! Wish I'd thought of that (sigh)

(How cool was Jim?!?!)

PS I was totally impressed by EVERYONE at this conference, the writers, panalists and fans. Everyone was soooo nice, friendly and fun. As this was my first Con, I am curious: Is this normal?

Also, at dinner, my end of the table did a cool toast: "Jim Butcher fans are the coolest fans in the world"

Awesome, awesome weekend.

(I have a pic and am trying to figure out how to share it... I am in computer special ed. I will see if I can figure it out...)

Oh god, you were trying to follow my car?  I am so sorry.  Central kind of sucks in terms of entrance and exit labeling, and I had to get creative.  I was trying to drive like a sane person, but Central made it difficult.  I would have driven much more slowly, had I known you were actually going to follow me, as opposed to just following our hasty directions.

Also, it was Humperdinks, not Humpernickers. :D

I was wondering if that was you, when I have retold this story, I said 'the cute driver'. --Hope that's not offensive :)

It was totally brilliant, and an amazing series of events that led us to be in the right place at the right time. Sometimes things just flow... ya know?

Robert and I have talked for years about Butcher's books, and speculated about Jim himself. We decided that of everyone we read, he would be the coolest to hang out with! (We were totally right!)

Thanks for the invite, and thank you so much for the opportunity to get 'face time'. What a gift!

Had a wonderful time! Just went Saturday, myself, (Kids, husband, life). Enjoyed meeting Jim, he was even cooler than I thought he would be. Wrote about our honing in on dinner (we got 'invited... ish, in the parking lot :) ... thankfully, no restraining orders have been issued yet, but it is good to have something to work on! :)

If you missed it, and want to read about it its on my blog:

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=40947724

Its funny, but was even more amazing in person!

The thing that struck me was how welcoming and friendly everyone was. It was my first Con (I know, I know), but am totally hooked now!

Jim Rocks!

Looking forward to sharing my first of probably many many ConDFWs with Jim! So moving to Texas isn't ALL bad I guess.  ;)

FINALLY!!!! A benefit to living in Texas, hurray!!!!

I am so going, even though its an eight hour drive. I guess when they say 'everything's bigger in Texas' they meant drive times.... sigh...

Nevertheless, I am totally excited, hurray!!!!
