Indeed.  My hair has gotten longer than I thought...

And I think that Shannon's instructing Jim to keep that pocket laser pointed at you. ;D

Is that what that is? I didn't even notice it.

Can't really tell what it is; pic's a little blurry. Might even have been a digital voice recorder - I was just having a little fun.

Well, if you couldn't do that with your bulls***, Leonard, I suspect the lad's impervious.

Ah, well...now that I look at it again, I believe Shannon was making a phone call to their kid and Jim was getting out his card to pay for the meal. Kind of looks like he's handing it to me. (Ah, now I distinctly remember that because it was just sticking out of his hand towards me.)

From Dville "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 ..."

I noticed the black eye, too, and felt sorry for (David) Since I didn't know him, I didn't ask or comment on it.  Later, I started to see a few other things--the devil horns spring to mind-and I started to think maybe it was makeup.  Really authentic, though, even in the photos.  I wish I had seen that booth in the dealers' rooms, but I didn't see half the things I wanted to at the con. My first con in a long time, since. . . er, AggieCon 7, actually, and I don't have the stamina for cons like I did then.

My son actually remembered which AggieCon it was because I had the program and he took it for a treasure hunt they had in another AggieCons. Back to ConDFW--New Authors to READ! Yea! I have been into Selina Rosen and Rachel Caine for days, and also got The Vampire Files, first three Jack Fleming novels by P.N.Elrod in one volume. Must find more. Yea!

Congratulations to all the awesome staff who put on ConDFW.  The neatest thing for me was that I asked JB if he'd enjoyed the Con, too, and he said he had.  He said several nice things as I am sure you all know already, mainly that the Con was organized, on time, delivered what was promised, and took care of him and Shannon.  Food at the hotel was mentioned as a definite plus.  I find it hard to believe that people would bring out a guest speaker and then abandon him in a place without a restaurant or a driver for food,  but as I say. . .not many cons recently.  I'm planning to change that. 
Now back to my previously scheduled Gale Force reading...Go Rachel Caine!
You want me to help save the girl, overthrow the dark lord, and defend the innocents terrorized by dark magic. And you want me to do it because you're my long-lost half brother who needs someone noble to stand beside him in desperate battle for what is right. BR p166

Been a fan of Roxanne's since she was still using Roxanne ;)

If the lurkers are  here that said they were going to have the Goddess of a certain MUSH mail me...she hasn't. Poke her again?

These photos are BIG and need photoshop.


Look but don't touch: It's nice datting someone who's bi. They don't hit you, they simply critique!

You never dated the bi I dated.  She critiqued while hitting.  And clawing.  And biting.  Then hitting some more.

Heh. One of my absolute best friends on this planet is a lesbian who loves to sit and girl-watch with me. We get to bitch about women. :D
