Doesn't really happy fully :). Seriously, we went this year for Friday Night, Saturday and came home on Sunday. Now frankly, that was enough time for me to cope with the crowds which were copious (45,000 attendees as opposed to the 30,000 which is probably about standard). There was mounds of humans dressed in varied costuming efforts, and apparently so many that the Fire Marshall had taken particular notice of this year's event and caused shut downs frequently, which, I heard, was FUN.You see...we didn't get a membership to attend the con. We went this year to spend some time with our friends Kenton, Sarah, Matthew, Pete and the Knoxville "Crew", as well as other assorted Kent & Sarah friends/family. So we hung out in the hotel room, enjoyed Dragon Con TV, got to people watch in the lobby and the underground mall food court (it's always funny to see a stormtrooper order a smoothie). It was fun, even though we didn't to treking through tracks - which are MANY. I even got to see Erik Estrada (who looks the same but a bit bigger). We watched the Dawn contest on DCTV and I realized, I had better do it next year because this year's contest should have been called "The Emotional Eating Dawn Contest" - lots of big ol' girls...68 total. My GOD.
Anyway...we had fun with our folk and plan to go next year.
I already have stellar plans for costuming myself - let alone buying our memberships.
So next year, we will indulge in our geeky-goodness.
It's all good.
