Space City Con Day 1 (isn)
The nice thing about getting in the day before is that you have the next morning to get started slowly and work your way into the convention.
Peter’s table is in Babylon 5 land with all his old buddies. It has been nice catching up with people. There is less to catch up on since we all saw each other at Phoenix Comic Con but still it is nice to find out what everyone is doing and what people’s children, who we have watch grow up, are doing as well.
So far it has been a little slow but then it is also Friday before work lets out. Peter and Caroline are off at a book store signing right now and I am manning the table. Once they get back, I will be taking Caroline to the Pyramids to see the aquarium today. We figure rainforest tomorrow and Science on Sunday with our visit to NASA on Monday. Caroline is very happy to be at this convention especially since she has all these other things to do so she doesn’t become bored.
I had a nice chat with Kristian Nairn before they opened the doors. I got to tell him how much I have enjoyed his performance as Hodor in Game of Thrones. The man is a great storyteller in his own right. I heard some amusing tales about the behind the scenes goings on that just tell one how much everyone respects and loves each other on that show. It sounds like a good working environment.
I am already seeing a lot of great costumes here. It is interesting to see how far fandom and costuming has come in over 30 years. Also the fan groups are trying to outdo each other here. The set up are rather elaborate.
I am grateful that everyone has been so gracious. We feel well taken care of.
