Con report part two
So let's see.. Saturday morning...
Mostly just bummed around a bit. Lunch was had at Peggy Sue's, a lovely 50s diner-themed place. Good eats with friends.
Upon return, learned from a distraught Graveyard Greg that Susan Van Camp - whom I adore greatly - was unable to attend due to very poor health, including having suffered a stroke... Collections are ensuing to help with bills and the like, but the word 'debilitating' was mentioned...
Watched the Critterlympics, which was silly fun as per usual. Keeping with the space theme, they had the 'space colonists' blasting off into space (Red Light Green Light), claiming asteroids (Musical Chairs variant), transporting their raw materials, collecting power orbs (balls), and finally repelling invasions (dodgeball). Good times all around.
Party time was MUCH more subdued. Security was actively checking badges, and a lot of folks were at the Frolic, which is a fur-friendly mega-party at one of the local bars. Groat showed up as 'The Dude' Lebowski, a look which he pulls off quite well. Unusual thing happened: They ran out of booze and drinkers at the same time! Still, I helped more than I should have, and was VERY wobbly by the end. Played Cards Against Humanity for about an hour, until soberish, then bed.
Woke up bleary, but no hangover. I'm pretty good at avoiding them. Still, was a bit derpish. I meandered to McD's, got food, then hung about until the GOH/Patron luncheon. Got to sit with Ursula and Kevin (can I use their first names now? Squee!). Amazing food there. AHI TUNA NOM NOM. The considerable contrast between breakfast and lunch was noted.
Then there was the Bronies Panel. Good times to be had there!
Then there was the FC Unleashed Variety Show. My Patron badge helped for that, as the line to get in was ENORMOUS. Good show. Very amusing. Bloop. Lightsabers.
Worth noting that Psycho Donuts had set up a lovely booth outside the main stage. Mmmm... Nutella The Hun donuts...
Was a bit worried about DustyKatt - he was very green around the gills and not looking good at all. For a tough guy like him, it was pretty unsettling. Tugrik was helping him out, though.
Monday morning was packing. Went to Flames. Hearing folks talk, I had assumed it was a nightclub, possibly of the 'rainbow decor' variety. Not so. Basic family dining place, with bar. Good eats.
Waited around.. got a few goodbyes in, then the Pull Of Reality came, and I left for home.
