Still so tired...
I need to go to bed in a few minutes here. Man, the weekend just wore me out! But it was so much fun.
Highlights from the weekend:
- Our room number. We were in room 1337. Srsly.
- Tigerpaw and Rama coming in to the Artist's Alley shortly after lunchtime to let us know we'd gotten a dealer's table! w00t!
- Meeting tons and tons of people that really enjoyed the jewelry. Joe's hobby is really getting popular and it has been great to be able to assist him! We had so much fun with our table.
- Spending time with lots of friends we don't get to see often! Sadly we didn't get to spend a LOT of time with ALL our friends but we did enjoy every last bit of the weekend!!!
- Riding the elevators to the top of the Marriott, the 47th floor. The Marriott Grand Marquis is the second-tallest atrium in the world. It was a great time!! We actually stayed in this hotel during Dragon*Con and did go up to the top but with a lack of some 30,000+ people it was easier to go straight up & then straight down. ;)
* And a cute highlight from THAT side trip was the group of schoolgirls that had gone up to the top of the atrium, and got into the elevators to go back down. After the doors closed and the elevator started to move, they all threw up their hands and started screaming... until the elevator stopped at the 46th floor for someone else to get on. XD Then when they started going again they started screaming again, allllll the way down. XD
- PIZZA PARTY. Omg we had a lot of fun. Joe & I coordinated a massive pizza feed with 17 pizzas delivered by Papa Johns. (Which was some of the BEST Papa Johns I've had!) We ended up collecting enough from other people to help cover the $150 tab, that we only ended up paying about $20 out of pocket ourselves and even then that wasn't bad cause Joe gave free pizza to the kids who were cleaning up the mess of cardboard from the other kids who were building "robots." :P
- Schloomping Fox Balloon. OMG. We saw it headed to the parking garage the next morning. IT SURVIVED.
- Joe raving with bananas instead of glowsticks. It doesn't work that way!!!
I can't EVEN begin to list every one we got to spend time with, there were so many. We LOVE YOU GUYS!! I miss everyone so much. It's like I woke up from a dream... the memories are all vivid, and fantastic, but back to work today??? The day just crawled. I couldn't believe FWA has come and gone already. I am looking forward to next year, so much. It has always been a great con for me and I love being social there.
Thanks SO VERY VERY MUCH to all the staff of FWA, you guys did another KILLER JOB this year. Every year it keeps getting better and better, and things run smoother and smoother, and I just can't wait until next year. (I think I about gave Rama a heart attack when I let him know that I thought if the con keeps up its current pace it will soon match Anthrocon for size... but FWA's southern hospitality has a reputation and more and more people will keep coming!)
