puppetmakerWe got home this morning about quarter to 7. Not bad considering all that happened over the weekend which changed all our plans for Monday. But more on that later.
So how was San Diego Comic Con? Awesome and Tiresome at the same time.
High points? Well there were many. Meeting new people along with meeting some online buddies in person for the first time was one of them. My temporary Tattoo was another (more on that later as well). Sitting at the cool kids table at the Randomhouse party was rather nifty. Getting an elusive exclusive for Caroline who will play with the toy was fun too.
Low points? Getting from point A to point B and having to add 20 minutes to the trip. Staying at a hotel that was a ways away from the convention itself. About a 20 to 25 minute walk if there wasn’t a train (however the buses ran on schedule so it was possible to plan in a bus to get to the convention center or hotel.) The action of a few “fans” which ruined some events for the other fans. Things I would like to have seen but didn’t feel that standing on line for two hours for a wristband to go stand in another line for another two hours to be pushed through what I want to see.
Disneyland was a lot of fun too.
I am going to put this past week up in sections over the next couple of days but right now I need a nap because I didn’t sleep on the way back so my sleep debt is getting pretty high. You might even get that rare 2nd post.
I am grateful for everything that has happened over the last week and a half or so.
