So how bagged am I, as I sit in Pearson airport waiting for my flight, having had but a single recuperation day after the Finland trip? Astonishingly, not very. Fell into bed on my return on Monday night, slept for twelve hours, and last night got a better-than-usual pre-Gen Con sleep. Even my voice seems to be recovering.

"German shepherd wearing.a harness identifying him as a member of a police K-9 unit "

The danger of a missing capital. I read this as a liederhosen-clad genuine German sheperd who moonlights as police dog controller.

"Another whirlwind 4 days begins."

Yeah, but, dude...

You just experienced ROPECON!

Like, two days ago.

I mean, seriously. SERIOUSLY. Jealous.

Why I weep for the future:

Quotes: " A large group of 16 year olds on some kind of expensive field trip form a circle to chat as they wait for their flight.

Then the girls open their mouths to speak, and equality of awkwardness is achieved."

my best border crossing, 6am, Niagara Falls, US into Canada returning from Darkover in Timonium, MD.

I had bought a copy of Bad Attitude magazine (lesbian butch BSDM), not because I cared one way or another about it, but because it had been seized that summer going into canada, and Glad Day had lost a shipment because of it. So the cover read BANNED IN CANADA!

Canada Customs Lad: "Anything to declare?"
*I hands over stuff*
Customs agent flips through comics, ignoring XXXenophile, and gets to Bad Attitiude. Opens it up, and flips through it page by page, then closes it and slides everything else back across the table to me, unlooked at.
CCL: "Looks like an interesting magazine. No wonder we can't get it in Canada." *waves me through*

So will the "Forty Years of GenCon" book be avialable for us mere mortals who couldn't get to the event?
