Just got home about an hour ago after a sixteen hour drive.
WHAT A WEEKEND!
First of all, it was fantastic to meet so many ENWorlders... Of course, it's always great to see old friends, and professional contacts, especially helpful ones like Crothian (who helped man the booth while I chased around the Cont) and Mr Billy (he really IS a handsome rascal!)... But meeting so many of the online faces was great! People travelled near and afar, braving bad in-flight movies and missing luggage, and I thank you for your effort!
Our booth was so far away from the entrances that by the time people reached us, they were so tired that they needed to sit down for a demo of Campaign Suite, and so few made it tour end of the world that we were able to invest in quality time with each and every person who walked by. And saying good morning to Kenny Baker as he walked by wasn't too hard on the spirit either.
The lil' Canadia Suite ROCKED. Udon Studios donated some special Street Fighter previews (available exclusively at the Canadiana Suite and at last week's ComicCon) and some Exalted books that they illustrated and some other comics. Fiery Dragon provided a case of MooseHead beer and some Canadian flags and stuff, Red Shirt Games brought cheese curds for our poutine and some Canadian Club rye... And we had about fifty people pop by throughout the week. Thanks for dropping by everyone!
We sold lots of books, particularly ENPJ #2 and the Kids' Colouring Book. Thanks everyone for being so supportive.
On the subject of being supportive and hearkening back to great publishers, there were a whole whack of publishers who donated product to the ENWorld party, so thank you everyone! We couldn't make it- didn't feel like bringing the kids to a bar for some reason, and we really needed to get home soon. I hope the party went well!
Hound placed second in the finals in DCI's Risk 2210 Tournament, bringing home a GORGEOUS plexiglass board to taunt our friends with.
The kids placed second in the Best in Show for the Costume contest (JUST missing winning an XBox with the new D&D game), but DID win first place in their category for their dancing. Yes, this is a proud momma whose daughters won for their talent, not their looks. AND they got the signatures of the celebrity judges on their papers including Tracy Lords'. Coolio.
I attended some meetings, made some interesting connections, met some great people, and generally had a really good time. How bout all y'all?
