I had such a great weekend!
I went to Phoenix Comicon, which was awesome in some ways and kind of disappointing in other ways. The guests (Wil Wheaton, Levar Burton, Jonathan Frakes, Felecia Day, James Marsters - to name the ones I was excited about) were all awesome. On the other hand, it was very big, a lot of people, and some of the venues were not big enough to handle everyone - mainly, stuff that happened in the ballroom at the hotel was pretty much inaccessible. I couldn't even watch Rock Band with Wil Wheaton, there was a line for that! And the dance on Saturday night was sold out hours in advance. Really disappointing. The vendor's room was huge but kind of disappointing as well... most of it was either really generic or stuff I wasn't into.
Kit was there, and so were a bunch of other people that she knew from other forums or real life and such. She just came back from Germany, and she had a German cold. I probably shouldn't have made out with her so much because now I have the German cold too. Dammit Kit.
Highlights for me include walking past Wil Wheaton right near my hotel room (I was too shy to say hi but I did a geeky little fangirl dance the moment I was out of sight of everybody), and pretty much all of the panels I went to. I may have to post quotes I remember (or that I am reminding myself about, as they are posted in podcast form for me to listen to) if I feel like it later.
