Not Missed

I don't think anyone will mind me not doing a con report. I'm just so bad at them, and [livejournal.com profile] ninjababe's going to do one and since we were together 99% of the time, that should suffice [g] So I'll stick with my usual 'bullet point' report instead.

So here we go!

* [livejournal.com profile] robi_travels's unending supply of wine in the suite.

* Being [livejournal.com profile] bleukittie's Sherpa.

* Metal from the ceiling falling on Roberta and on Nin during the very first hour of the con. (How were the vids? We missed them during the whole accident report process)

* Our room smelling like a bar the entire time even though it was a non smoking room.

* [livejournal.com profile] beeej's TV Boyfriend and his elf ears.

* I want to watch Atlantis with [livejournal.com profile] evildrem all the time!

* Snuggling with [livejournal.com profile] pat_t in her frog jammies on the sofa.

* Thanks to Pat, Patty, Em, Katya, and the people I didn't know, for letting me hang out with them Sat. night in their suite. Even though I'm boring.

* Sparkley drinks!

* Trying to decide just which of them is the scariest John Barrowman fan.

* Meeting new folks like [livejournal.com profile] lferion (and the very nice lady she introduced me to, but I'm blanking on the name) , [livejournal.com profile] layla_aaron, and Sean - an actual man type person!

* Hanging with my Central CA peeps! (none of whom are on LJ, believe it or not)

* Jon Cassar who is made of awesome, and as usual, was a delight to listen to. This is why I'm always talking about how cool he is!

* [livejournal.com profile] anya2112 and that bourbon bottle she kept stashed at the Dead Puppy party (weren't enough of us to qualify as Dead Dog)

* Talking to Peter at the mixer. We were the first table he came to and there were only five of us. He wasn't with his gofer and he chatted with us for quite a while. Wasn't expecting that at all. More than makes up for not being able to get a seat at any of the table at the mixer in Memphis [g]

* 11:30pm dinner reservations at Tao at the Venetian (They have freakin' canals in that place! With water and boats and everything!!) My stomach had no idea what was going on!

* Mary and Roberta before we left on Monday. They cracked us up. Hope you two had a good time!

* San Antonio in 2010!

Sounds like it was just the tonic you needed. Good. Too bad it wasn't a whole week.

Heh, I don't think my lungs could have taken a week! I always forget just how smoky casinos are.

I don't know if I will actually write a con-report either, though I certainly had a wonderful time! Maybe I will do something like your bulleted list :-)

It was so nice to meet you in person! Resh ([livejournal.com profile] reshcat) is who I introduced you to.

Lists are much more efficient [g]

It was great meeting you, and thanks for the name reminder :)

Aloha! It was nice meeting you, too (thanks, Lferion!). Perhaps next con, we'll have a chance to chat a bit.

Great list and it tells a lot about your con experience. My froggy pajamas were a gift from [livejournal.com profile] elistaire. It was so much fun. Can't wait until LA and San Antonio.

You are not boring

[identity profile] evildrem.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
..and it was a pleasure to meet you. I'm fairly sure however that you'd get very irritated if you watched Atlantis with me all the time *grins*

I'm glad we spent more time together than in Memphis. Maybe next time, we can aim for a whole two hours! [g]

Nin and I both tend to be... "interactive" TV viewers, so I like your style!

It was fab meeting you guys! *hugs* And I'm looking forward to San Antonio. :D

[identity profile] layla-aaron.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we're on our way to having [livejournal.com profile] strangevisitor7 convinced to join us. :)

[identity profile] layla-aaron.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
*happy dances* Agreed. Then we can talk all sorts of good fun.

BTW, after your evaluation and our own personal impression, we're glad we didn't stay in the Riviera, even if it wasn't as convenient to stay offsite.

We rarely stay at the con hotel, but this time, we did. Figures [g]

[identity profile] layla-aaron.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
In Indy we stayed at another hotel, only because the con hotel was fully booked. However, we are glad we stayed at the Conrad because it was a premiere hotel with luxuries we'd never enjoyed before at a hotel. We like it well enough that we want to go back again some time next year. :D

As for the Hilton in Vegas, it was a good hotel. Not as nice as the Conrad in Indy, but it seems like it was well above the Riviera in terms of quality. I would stay at that Hilton again, but don't wish to set foot in Vegas again. It is NOT my kind of place. *g* I'm such a stick in the mud.

It was great seeing you again. I second Em...you are NOT boring...we are just very loud =)

Heh! I can get loud too, but we haven't spent enough time together for you to see it :) [HUGS]

I think I need to change my flist name to "Booze Hound"!!!

Shawn is an absolute doll!

I missed Peter and Jon, but it was nice chatting to Jim and David.
