Wasted Thursday
Well, tonight wound up being a total bust.
• The Battletech simulators require tickets to use.. and the ticket booth closed before I could get to it.
• Friends are all out running games or incommunicado.
• Tried calling Diana, but she doesn't answer that phone, so no hanging with them.
• All of my work companion headed out to do their own things... whatever/wherever they were.
So after I got out of work (at 7pm) I wandered back to Exhibitor HQ and logged back onto the internet... and been here ever since, answering questions and trying to help out as much as I can without actually getting out of my seat.
Yeah tonight was a total waste.
I'm watching folks walk about, going to events, walking in groups of friends, or couples... and realizing just how pathetic I really am and find myself in the same predicament as I have found myself in more and more each year at each con I go to, asking myself "Why am I at this convention again?" I mean, at least here at Gen Con I don't have to pay for anything if I don't want to (transportation, hotel, food is covered if I'm smart with my money), but as far as "enjoyment" goes?... It's a drag. It's like a kick to the soul each time I think about it.
Midwest Fur Fest is looking less and less likely as the days go by. FCN as well... and right now I'm not sure about Gen Con '10.
....
Tomorrow I don't know what my plan is. Steve Carlisle didn't make it to the con, so I can't talk about the commission we still need to work out from last year, and there's some printed works of Steve Argyle's that I may look at purchasing, but I dunno. There's some nice latex weapons here this year, and cool steam-punk folks too... but I don't know if I'm interested enough to actually purchase anything.
