CONvergence summary

[hellziggy]

To read various people's CONvergence highlights go HERE. chebutykin did a "tell me your highlights of con" post.
To see pictures of CONvergence go HERE for over 2000 of vorrant's pictures. I'm sure I'm in there somewhere, but I haven't looked.

Random Con moments:

*Room was ready when we got there so we could check in immediately

*North tower!

*My Beta Clone #131 t-shirt showed up in the mail on Friday so I could wear it! Picture already sent to JC Hutchins.

*Opening ceremony sketch was good. Apparently we missed about half the opening stuff though because we booked out of there when the Mark Time awards started. Every year I sit through them and every year they are too long and I get bored, so I didn't this year.

*Got to spend lots of quality time with the LJ-less Darek and Nissa.

*Played some Cineplexity Friday nite.

*Saw the other Sharon (BirdChick) on Saturday when she was there for the Raptor Center presentation.

*Moose did *not* get eaten by a red-tailed hawk:



*Ended up eating at Olive Garden twice this weekend. Service was less than stellar both times.

*Met kajicarter in real life for the first time. Kaji, you get to change colors now! My flist has one color for people I've met and one for people I haven't.

*I looked smokin' hot on Saturday night in my black velvet outfit and with makeup on.



*chebutykin was smarter than me and brought her Xmas present for me & hellbob to the convention. We didn't think to do that.

*The comic professionals panel was pretty cool!



*I got to see Cyd & lady_gunsen in the bar. I really need to see them more often.

*Moose got to meet a real live rocket scientist (Bridget Landry) and a Hugo & Nebula award winning author (Lois McMaster Bujold.)


(can you tell I'm having too much fun using Skitch to annotate photos?)

*Sunday's closing sketch was brilliant! Prince and the Electric Mayhem! The year 3007 film that romeoa put together was also fabulous!

*And, as has become tradition for me, the con ended Sunday night with a game of Salad Bowl.


I know I forgot plenty of things. But hey, my excuse for anything forgotten is "What happens at Con stays at Con!"

Wow! Look at that moose! Look at that panel (chebutykin was on the same panel with Bernie Wrightson! DOUBLE WOOT!)! Look at that CLEAVAGE! Hubba-hubba!

What?

Why would you and Hellbob bring your Xmas present for yourselves to the convention??

hehehe

I love how the hawk is looking down at Moose in that photo! It's like "Hmm, edible?" :P

Damn, girl, you don't even look very drunk in that picture! (You're at Convergence and it's 2:30am, so I'm assuming you *were* drunk) Nice cleavage... :) It's good to dress up and be pretty once in a while, huh?

I love the hawk- he's beautiful! Not quite sure what to think of Moose, though, huh? :)

Welcome home. :)

Holy Hannah! I never looked that hot even at 2:30pm. It's a great picture overall, but I have to say your eyes are beautiful.

*WoooooWoooo* I do my best impression of a whistle. That is an awesome picture, you gorgeous lady, you! ^_^

belatedly, Happy Birthday! I didn't forget you, I just fell off the world this week.

Also, that picture makes you smoking hot, but you're always smoking hot. :)

And I hope you don't have plans for May 31, 2008.
