DragonCon 2007 Travel Day
Sep. 4th, 2007 07:58 amQuick one before I get on the road today and head back up to New York.
We are basically packed except the cold stuff that needs to go into the cooler and those stray items that always seem to show up when you are packing.
Peter and I agree that this one was more of a marathon than most DragonCons for us. It might have been that it was spread through three hotels or it just might be that we had that much to do. But we had fun this weekend and are looking forward to next year.
Ariel had a blast on her birthday and got some cool stuff from friends and family.
Caroline loved Childcare and playing with the other kids. It also gave her a taste of what a structured childcare would be like since they had them do activities and they had quiet time and time outs when they got out of control. It was kind of strange not having to figure out who was going to take care of Caroline when this round but considering everything we had to do I would say it was a really good thing.
I got an e-mail from someone who was there when the Michael incident happened and gave it to me from their perspective. The woman had the best of intensions at heart and was concerned for all of those people had waited on line for an absurd amount of time to get into the Yule Ball and for that I do applaud her. She knew she was going to get in but was concerned that others would not.
Crowd control was a bit wonky this year probably because the fire marshal got really involved this year. The Cannons had things in hand and the door guards did work hard at giving everyone a fair shake so they could get in and have fun at the Ball. I would ask that if you do have a problem like this, give the people who are suppose to deal with it a chance to and understand that they have information that you probably don't like people who do need to get into that room before the festivities are starting for whatever reason.
I am grateful for any traffic we DON'T hit on the way home.
