Hiiiiiiiiii! Glad you made it to your parents'. Sorry to hear you're sick. I am teetering on the edge of con crud but I don't think you're Patient X so much as we are ALL Patient X. Heh.
Where is Claudia Black with her magical healing powers?
I hope you don't end up getting sick. I'm sleeping and drinking tons of fluid and seem to be skating right on the edge of getting really sick without tipping over, at least so far.

I KNOW! If only she could flip her hair in my direction and cure my cold.
. And it was especially nice of molly_may to put up with our gushing about Claudia Black without informing security.
Hmmm. What makes you think I didn't?
From what I've seen, the organizers are estimating that there were about 30,000 people there this weekend, but most attendees seem to think that, at least on Saturday, it was way more than that. They have got to think about capping attendance next year.
I think the last few years have been about 20,000-25,000 people. In one of the D*C livejournal communities they're saying that next year the Marriott will have two new ballrooms and some of the events will be moved there to help ease the crunch at the Hyatt, but they still desperately need to consider limiting the ticket sales.
So my estimate of 1/3 more people might not actually have been far off. I agree that even with more ballroom space in the Marriott, they can't continue to sell unlimited tickets without it being a disaster.
I got home last night exhausted and then my body decided to develop insomnia. How I am sitting at work and typing this is beyond me. I can't even tell you what I've been doing most of the morning.
Now... just picture getting an autograph from Claudia Black in that state.
More seriously, I'm so sorry you couldn't sleep well last night. Sometimes being overtired gives me insomnia and it's so frustrating to be that tired and not be able to sleep.
Damn, it sounds like you guys had such fun. Sorry to hear about the con crud! I'd almost forgotten about that fun little extra you get from attending really crowded shows. But at least you'll always have had the Christopher Judge experience. : )
I wonder if Claudia Black knows about her healing powers? I have this vision now of her receiving the ill among her fans for a laying-on of hands, like a queen...
When I got her autograph, I was working on about 2 hours of sleep and it was all I could do not to blurt out, "Your hair is magic!" But I succeeded, so perhaps she's not aware that she can cure hangovers.
And Jason Momoa's glasses were totally horn-rimmed nerd glasses. He pulled them off really well.
I normally think there's a lot to the hair and makeup and other TV magic, but in Claudia Black's case, I actually don't think the cameras do her justice; she's very vivid too, on top of being so articulate.
She didn't talk about any upcoming acting projects, but she did talk about the fact that she and her husband bought a house and are going through the home renovation from hell (she was quite open about the fact that her con appearance was helping to pay for it) and she's looking forward to the birth of her second child.
