Dragon*Con 2008
Sep 19th
August 29 – September 1st – - ONLY 344 DAYS LEFT! Are you ready?
The website says tickets now through November 11 are $50.
All three host hotels are sold out – according to the D*C site. Has that been updated for next year or is it leftover from this year?

Finally!
I didn’t take any pics cuz my camera sucks and when I used my batteries in Michael’s camera mine wouldn’t work anymore.
I miss everyone already

Old friends.
New friends.
And a couple of people I won’t bother to get to know after all.
I hope I left an interesting yet not obnoxious impression on those who met me for the first time. JC Hutchins was much warmer in person than I expected him to be. Scott Sigler was not the asshole I previously thought. Actually, he had quite the nice ass but his karaoke rendition of “Lady is a Tramp” put him in the not-sexy category forever. Les Howard was quite the good sport but I think I scarred him forever. Brad and his um, female accompaniment were very nice people! Definitely new friends. So many others. We’ll just have to wait and see how those connections pan out as friends.
I can’t help thinking what a difference Evo would have made all over. Hopefully by next year the eggshells will be crushed to powder and everything will level out somewhere. I was standing there during Sigler’s toast and the phone call and the people there really missed him too. All over the track you could feel the Evo or Leann elephant in the room – most people didn’t know what to say but the silent energy was positive rather than negative. And Leann was there! People were very supportive when she did come out of hiding. That I saw anyway. Oh well.
Should I get more involved? Should I really start working on my podcast idea? Or should I just try to remain in a supportive capacity when I can? I have all this time on my hands.
I had another idea. You email me your K7 number and I’ll call it on a regular basis so you won’t lose it. How’s that for a plan? Donations? Or should I charge a small fee? Would people pay a small amount to ensure their voice mail line stayed active? I’ve heard so many people bitch they lost their number when they didn’t call in so many days.
Wow this is rambly. I really shouldn’t write when I’m so tired.

Hey snowcalla! It’s yer boyfriend!
I watched this guy do karaoke one night. He sucked. Walk Like An Egyptian? Uh, no.
The one on the right is the one I mentioned. I call her Entitlement Bitch. Rule #3 at D*C is you are responsible for the damage your stupid costume does to the people around you so pay attention when swinging your not-as-hot-as-you-think-it-is ass through crowds. And smoking makes you stink, beyotch, so there.
I didn't get laid.
Sep 3rd
But . . . I did get hugged, groped, grabbed, kissed (no tongue), complimented, groped some more and literally carried away by George Hrab! Seriously, listen to the next Wingin’ It 3D. I hope the dude didn’t hurt himself. But I didn’t get laid.
Oh, there were offers! I swear snowcalla and wickedgroovy tried to talk me into their bed at least twice a day. And there was this creepy little guy who was there with his mother . . . but never mind.
Stupid question of the day
Aug 30th
Is there any reason you can’t/shouldn’t pack water bottles in your checked baggage?
Besides rough baggage handlers but like low pressurization or altitude bullshit? I’d hate to NOT have water or pay through the nose when I can bring this with me.
I held off this long.
Aug 23rd
Just by tossing things I wanted to remember into the general corner where my suitcase is.
But . . . is it too soon to officially pack? Am I too anxious?
I want to pack.
I want to arrange.
I know it won’t make the day come any sooner.
Crap.
I'm baaaaaAAAaaack!

Okay. Now that I have actual time to post stuff and nonsense, here I go.
1. I love the new apartment with just a few exceptions. The shower head sucks and is too high. One circular flow way over my head means I need to swirl in the shower to get all of my hair rinsed. And there’s no water pressure. Item #12 on my as soon as I have extra cash list (hereafter referred to as ASAIHECL) is a power shower head. The walls are all rounded on the edges so when I get some paint (#18 ASAIHECL) I need to figure out how to edge when there’s no edge. There are no TV/internet hookups in the basement, so I need to (#10 ASAIHECL) do the wireless router thing. And my bedroom light blew out already. Ain’t that some shit.
2. Picture of the dress. I can’t seem to get a decent picture up closer . . . closer up so you’ll just have to wait to see it.
3. I’m arriving in Atlanta on Airtran Flight 539 at 6:05 am Friday and plan on taking the Marta to the Marriott. I have Calla’s cell phone number so I can call when I get there to figure out which room I’m in, or if you feel really froggy you can come out to the airport that early to meet me. Fat chance, eh? I’d love to find a grocery or convenience store either close by or a short Marta ride away to get water and snackage for in the room. Buying stuff in the food court or in the hotels will kill my budget. Yes, I know there’s a teensie liquor store down the street but there might be a better option. My flight out on Monday leaves at 6:07 pm so I imagine I need to be at the airport by 4:30 at the latest.
Countdown clock says 16 days, 2 hours, 07 minutes.
Holy crap, getting this computer online today was a nightmare. Even though I didn’t change anything or get anything new, my computer didn’t recognize my modem for some odd reason. Out of the blue. After an hour on the phone with Cox techies and then another 30 minutes with Gateway’s techies, I was informed I needed to either pay extra for out-of-warrantee service or take it in somewhere to get drivers reinstalled. Fuck that shit, I just did a restore and Voila! everything’s peachy. Dumb asses. And I got all those game trials back that I’d downloaded and played during my off time. Cool!

Dragon*Con Yeah!
One of the few things I have to look forward to in my life. Ain’t that some shit.
No, I’m not one of the special people of Wingin’ It that knows what’s inside Mike’s head. Lately I just show up mid-day on Saturday and hold my breath. I mean yeah, you could tell something was brewing but I’m not in the know, ya know. Anyway. I can roll with the changes, though I miss Evo tons, I really do. Its like when a marriage breaks up and you have to figure out which friend to support. I’m shallow enough to say I’m hanging with Michael because he still has the parties. Evo starts having parties (getting me out of my house) and I’ll rethink. Maybe. Gawd that is shallow. Anyway, I hope to run into Evo occasionally so I can get/give good hug.
So check out Wingin It 3-D as sit next to me as I found out what happens next.
