Extra-short for Dragon*Con
9/1: Lunch out at Pyng Ho, bank, programming, forms
9/2: VDC, Board stuff, finished and closed up shop, picked up karishi.
9/3: We went for lunch at Agora (still good food, but no free parking this time). Sweetheart went to Emory Midtown. Found David, he was distressed to report that the condo he had rented was under construction; passable for some events, or even a "camping" experience, but not an engagement weekend. I helped him look around, we eventually went for the Ritz - despite the expense, it was the most helpful and encouraging, and not too much more expensive. Also, they were giving out champagne at seemingly random intervals. Helped set up kits for Science Track, briefly stopped in the beards/ears party (Sasha), saw rbrav and Sparky.
9/4: Parked at Civic Center, saw Rifftrax (no rbrav this time), watched the door at Science Track with Sam, covered sound for Fission/fusion panel, watched the door for This Year in Science (more chairs for movement restrictions), did sound for "Delicious, Delicious Science" (and snuck in a horrible "whirled peas" pun), bought 10000 cards for $70, found Cathy, took her back to the car (after enlisting her muscles, along with karishi, met Sweetheart, headed to Sushi Ave. Back to con, covered the door for "Science of the Martian" (full line, winding down the hallway)
9/5: Dreamt about L5R with Indian myth comic (Ramayan 3392 AD? Relating to Kali and/or Fudo?) and 500 force token cards (not sure if meant to be a currency like Koku, or something could actually generate that much force). Parked at hospital, had trouble finding the entrance, pass raoin & Ryam, nipples were chafing between running around and costuming. David proposed to Romy during our pre-parade setup, all kinds of sweet. High fives from Sweetheart and Seth in parade, joined a handful of other elements at Southern Elements for dinner. Covered sound on "Getting Away with Murder", which was disturbingly popular. Hiked up to Hyatt, met Jhanay on door for "Engaging the World with Science", wandered, sound for "Relativity is Practical" (mercury has relativistic effects!), game room, fantastic (but long) engagement dinner with David and Romy and friends at Atlanta Grill, reparked, got a ticket anyways; took Seth and Suzanne back to their car.
9/6: Still parking, trying to find power hour, didn't have all the stuff, still had a good experience. Random wandering, met Alexandra and Chris for lunch; "What's New in Science Education", hugenormous line for "Evolution of Fantastic Beasts", dance/wander/food, meet Seth & Suzanne at Trader Vic's, relationship talk. Played "Star Realms", took a sick Suzanne home, came back for a brief dip in the Mechanical Masquerade, back down to gaming dungeon. Played "Boss Monster" and "Cards against Humanity", went to the Civic Center, a little worried about people who seemed to be following us, but made it home with no incident.
9/7: Parked near 5 Points, realized I didn't have a badge. Introduced "How Dogs Love Us", covered the door for Cryonics, wandered, gamed, hung out on couch with karishi and cailement. Dead Dragon was kind of blase, all the people at our table seemed half dead. Called Mum for a while.
9/8: Went in for work; tried Thumbs Up; sorted cards; reviewed tapes for stolen scooter; ate at Corner Pub.
9/9: Work; Tin Lizzie's, Chai Pani
9/10: Board meeting; Siam Thai
9/11: 9/11 stuff; Masti
9/12: For trip stuff; Chiro; Picadilly
9/13: Work group, Marisa speech, write her about the difference between Hispanic and Latin; running in theater, Dad & caverns, Jamie hurt - blood loss somehow. Take fancy car home - David sends a piece of a torn-up coupon; giving lost Emory students directions out of locked building on campus, turns into discount mall, I set something on fire and Sweetheart puts it out with a fire extinguisher, we run around a furniture store, then watch African dancing. I woke up with her pressing into my back. Spicy cheese curry, wonderful rotis; Mad Max - the cars; "But it's 3 now!" - not sure what this quote was, but it was hilarious at the time. Tango
9/14: Work, Lunch together at Chai Pani
9/15: Lunch together at Doc Chey's, Chiro, made dinner: Shells, eggplant, cauliflower, bread, salad, watermelon
