SDCC!

So we did two days of ComicCon. After last year's glorious four-day stretch, that felt cramped and rushed. As Wonderful Husband put it, we could do all the things, or meet up with people and not do all the things. And we don't get to see the people that often, so the people win out. Always.

Highlights: the Holiday Inn did not screw us over this year. Trust me, that was much appreciated. We got to meet up with all the people. I went five for five on the autographs I wanted (Dan Gilvezan, Seanan McGuire, Eoin Colfer, Christopher Paolini, and Chris Sanders). Wonderful Husband bought the couple of Homestuck books he didn't have and Andrew Hussie signed them. We also got the two sketchbooks I wanted, volumes of various webcomics, and I picked up six art prints that speak to me of Estellia. Also got a Mikaela poster. I went to four panels, all about books and writing, we ate at some good restaurants, and generally had a good time.

Next year, if we have sufficient vacation time and available funds, I want to go for four days again. And I want to do us each up a cosplay outfit for at least one day. But given we have other large "WANT TO DO" items next summer, we'll see how all that goes.

Now, back to my regularly scheduled Costume College prep panic....
