A lot of what this says applies to me with Dragon*Con. Especially, the getting-a-room part. Thankfully, I've had
belluthien, who is willing to endure the stress of crashing sites and phones cutting her off to get a room before they sell out in five minutes. I just can't.
The waiting forever for celebrities part doesn't apply. I never did relish the idea of waiting for a brief conversation and an autograph with a celebrity. Who cares? And Galadriel does not wait. She will arrive fashionably late to avoid standing in a line (and sometimes even that doesn't work *cough*eveninginbree*cough*). And Galadriel will NEVER again wait outside in Hotlanta. For anything. Except the parade, but by nature, parades happen outside, so...
This year, for the first time since 2006, I will be skipping D*C altogether. I am looking forward to focusing my efforts on a quiet and intimate AL3P with my extended "family."
