Spent the morning Doing Stuff (petrol, bank, three jalepeno plants to my mother, Sushi to the vet for booster shots, Advantage'ing the cats, dishes, lunch).
Then I went to AX. Managed to find covered parking for only $5 about a mile away. Picked up badge and registration packet... which didn't include anything like a map or program because they'd apparently run out. But the signage on the way to the Dealer's Hall assured me that I could get it all if I wanted to buy the iPhone app for the con for only $1.99.
Um, so they want me to buy the program and map for the con? Nevermind the fact that I don't even HAVE an iPhone, you'd think those kind of things would be complementary.
Trawled the entire Dealer's Hall, buying a Totoro for Wonderful Husband (who was at home doing all the responsible stuff today, like laundry and cleaning areas of the house that desperately need it) and two art prints for myself from Artist's Alley. Met up and hung out with Annu from my writing class and her sister and friends. Found a large standee of the program down in the lobby and discovered that there was nothing on the programming I wanted to attend for the rest of the day. Came home.
Am coveting three very old and very expensive books from Dealer's Hall. Must look to see how much they would cost elsewhere and decide tonight....
