Last night, about 3:30, Mark started snoring. After about 10 minutes I got up, got dressed, and went on a hunt for ear plugs. The con hotel is an interesting place that late/early. There were very few people about, but there were certainly some interesting people. Some were still in costume, a few vampires and the like.
I managed to find ear pugs at the 76 station across the street. Icy out though!! Ice all over everything, thick, hard, "don't go there" type ice. On my way back I ran across a kid returning from a party. All the parties have moved across the street to the La Quinta as Double Tree has laid down some rules, or had laid them down anyway. This ...kid... tells me he's getting too old for this type of behavior. He's been going to this con for over ten years. Yep... Too old.
Okay, setting aside my thoughts on drinking until hooting and yelling while running across 6 lanes of traffic seems like a good idea.... Kid... I've been going for 28 years. I haven't been up this late at a con for probably the last 20. ...and... It's rather fascinating actually. And amazingly quiet.
Ear plugs worked like a charm, though Juli pointed out that it was much easier to do what she did. Tap Mark on the shoulder. "Mark, you're snoring." "Oh, am I?" and that was the end of it. But then I would have missed my night ramble.
Today I've been to two events. One was the "Girl Genius: Monsters, Mayhem, and Mad Science" radio show. It was somewhat entertaining, though if it had gone on for more then 30 minutes they would have lost me.
Juli went to the signing sessions. I met her there while she was in line. She pointed out that the artist GoH, Ciruelo, was drawing sketches with his signature. He is another artist from Spain. He is known for his dragons. I ran down to the dealers room and bought his large Dragon book and had him sign it. Then Juli had me stand in line for many minutes with two books for the Writer GoH, Dan Simmons, to sign. There was a three book limit and she had five books.
Oof. I've just come back from my protein fix at Denney's . [Belch!]
