Patient Zero
Quick little entry about the con so far.
Registration - The bomb, baby. Was done in fifteen minutes. Watched much more important people than me flounder in the "I don't have a barcode" line for nearly an hour. Even that was better than years past where Preview Night was a grueling endurance match.
Weather - Balmy. Actually about as nice as you can expect. If you're not dressed for business. Conditions inside the convention center were fair, but the more people the con gets, the colder the room gets, so I expect adverse conditions starting today.
Programming - Insane. I think I'm going to miss half the stuff I want to see due to scheduling conflicts and the like. Who knows when I'll have time to hunt down vintage Micronauts on the show floor?
Merch - Tons. Some I even want. Though Parker still doesn't have his Tothbook. But they had a whole stack of Bernet books against the back wall. Maybe I'll be able to find them today and throw away what little money I have. I've been accused of being an art junkie and it's absolutely true.
Prospects - Unknown. But I'll be out hawking today. Hooray! My favorite thing to do.
One of the above is an abject and total lie.
