If it makes you feel any better, Kugar and DonAdam never skipped a beat...but I did worry for a second. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Then the Heineken reminded me that women are excellent navigators and Queenie made her Intuit Direction check! Shame on you for stealing her credit! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Thanks to both of you for the ride!!Highlights:- Being in the first wave to grab AU...and getting Monte to do a "Vanna White" pose with it....I'll have to post that later...- Playing a ton of Living Greyhawk (my fate is tied to it due to being on a Triad) and Green Regeant.- Getting a sneak-peek at the what's coming up in Piratecat's Story Hour... MUHAHAHAHAH!- Running into Piratecat randomly a number of times...made me feel right at home, as this is what happens at New England cons...- The Hyatt. Damn. The Air Conditioning went down to 55-60 degrees...it was clean...people were SUPER nice...great place. Oh yeah, and it had a Subway and McDonalds in the lobby. Didn't have to buy a single $12 breakfast buffet...- Mini painting classes with Jen Haley. She can do incredible things with a mini, and just WATCHING her made me feel like there is hope for me!- Hmmmm.....more to come....Downsides:- Not being able to see the Ennies...schedule was too full! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />- Introducing myself to, and chatting a bit with Hellhound...commenting on how dang nice the Print on Demand stuff looked...and then proceeding to forget to go back with money to BUY some!!- The flight back...on Monday! I heard about lotsa hangups on Sunday, but even on Monday morning there was an hour wait to get through the security checkpoint...on top of the 40 minute wait to get to the ticket counter!- Seeing the wandering Ennies "after party crew" at Ram's (instantly identifiable by the "damn handsome" Teflon Billy), and not stopping by to say hi...but at that point I wasn't sure I could even walk...goooood Brown Ale they got there....And the Bestest Part: PJ O'Rourkes.Clay is the man, as is his brother and the staff that came in on their DAY OFF to serve us geeks. HUGE kudos for all involved!! Memorable moments:- Stepping out of the cab with Kugar to find this guy grinning from ear to welcoming us...and I just happened to see some of the picks the other night to know that it was Clay (it was good to not have to wonder where his hand was...Maldur was inside already <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />)- Clay's recital of EVERYONE's names every time someone new walked in....- Hanging out in deep "geekversation" with Barennd Nobeard- Discussing Croathian's many, many, many posts....- Monte and Sue stopping by...very cool. Can't wait for the Pics!- Playing Munchkin (for the first time) and repeatedly noting that the "experienced" Munchkiners were always winning. After which Maldur would politely note that he was still level one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So many great things happened at GenCon...can't wait for next year so I can meet more folks!!!-Rugger"I Ramble!"</blockquote>
