Because I'm lazy, and getting tired, and I don't feel like writing it all out right now.

I did upload some pics; I have a few videos to go up, still, which means I have to make a youtube account or something.

Friday: It's Fudge City up Here
- lovely late morning
- picked up miagolare and hit the hotel early
- absolutely Primo parking space
- lots of space in the room
- killed time until the Get To Know You Games Panel
- hilarious game of Evolution ending in the Dominatrix at the top level
- I have/I've never = WIN
- Vampire Social - nice to see people, even if for a few minutes
- oogling sarcasm_hime's put together gothy outfit
- drinks and conversation and crazy disks fun in the hotel room
- hanging with Jesa/kalliope_kheru

Saturday: It's like a Knife Fight in a Phone Booth
- quality time in panels with Peter and elizard100
- Design your Own Superhero with Daryl having fun entrants who really got into and some fun prizes = MORE WIN
- Colony Sweep
- guests; Jadzia Dax actress and the writer of the Dresden Files - both HILAROUS; she's good at avoiding answering the questions, and he had a ton of funny lines
- Masquerade (line up that early, whut?, but fun hanging with people)
- audio issues with skit, but it still went well and the costumes photograph quite well
- photoshoot with stillvisions who indulged us
- dance fun, still in the wig
- not recognizing Jesa, who also didn't recognize me for part of it
- fun with rosemary_ca and catching up with other people who I hadn't seen much during the con yet
- issues with security, but it's been handled by others

Sunday: I survived the Polaris Inferno...3 times
- Fire alarms, 3 times. Less than 3 hours sleep, whee.
- 10am panel, expecting noone to show up, and it had 15 people and turned out great!
- chatting with a lovely couple and their daughter after the panel
- getting to know elizard100 better, which was quite nice
- finding out we won Best Group for presentation and workmanship (accuracy FTW)
- diner at Kelsey's
- viewpoints asking if the "goth girl" was a friend of mine (from the dance); we had assumed it was Kevin's friend, but he didn't know either, so it was great fun to say that it was Jesa, and see Writerz_bloc freak out
- quality time with peeps I don't get to talk to IRL often, and enjoying kusanivy's pics from her Hellabration trip to Cali
- dropped off Miagolare, and drove home; seemed pretty quick; made it home safe despite my exhaustion

This was my last con for a few years as I'm off to grad school and won't have time or funds for costuming/cons, and it was great. I loved seeing everyone again, and you all helped make it a wonderful "last" convention for me. Relax-a-con it was, and it rocked. Props to everyone!!

And now, off to bed, cuz I'm tired, and I have to work 4 days in a row now (usually it's just Friday, but I traded shifts so a guy could go to his dad's wedding this weekend) - so I can hardly wait for Tuesday, which I'll get off in lieu (and Wed, as I'm working Sat & Sun for him). Ugh, so tired. And I just remembered I have to call my mom.... I hope I can go to bed by 11.

Whew, what a weekend!

And....the convention chat ends there.

Costume plans for the future: finish Rith for AN, Slugma, and then work on Midi.

I'm glad I had a nice relaxing weekend; I really, really needed it.
Back to real life and work and stress. BOO! No con plague for me, thankfully; just exhaustion, both mental and physical.


I did upload my photos (first time on the macbaby), and turn them all. No way to resize them, but now to just figure out how to upload a few to lj's gallery for others, and once the techy boyfriend comes home and helps me learn to zip them so I can send all the photos to interested parties.

I think I managed to upload photos correctly, so here's a little preview: Mini Ad Astra Gallery Here

The only photo I've got of the "costume" I wore in the masquerade.


I hope there will be video one day, since it's so much funnier (if I may say so) to watch than just see the signs.


Oselle has THE POWER!!!! XD
