A week ago Danielle and I went to ConnectiCon 2010 in Hartford! It was a lot of fun, and I got to see some friends…
Oh yeah, and my artwork was all over the place! *grin*
We arrived at the convention center around 7 PM to meet and grab our badges. Friends and allies were preparing and making last-minute adjustments to props and supplies. Nothing is ever completely prepared at these events of course, and there’s always an element of chaos in how they actually go down… but the whole con seemed to be a success with a few hiccups instead of a huge hiccup with a few successes.
Saw a lot of neat costumes! Dwelling with fellow geeks, surrounded by geekery in a shrine of geekdom… it warms the cockles of my pimply, geeky heart.
I’m not going to be able to get to my computer for a couple days, because I’m going to a…
ConnectiKHAAAAN! I’m gonna take a million pictures of the loot and the costumes and the hopefully nice and not-at-all obese girls in those costumes. See you there!

An Ewok for the 4th of July. Ewoks are a lot like the first Americans, I think. They’re superstitious, friendly, they can be bribed with food, they hate the Empire, they think God told them to fight, and most people seem to dislike them for some reason. They’re also brave and bloodthirsty, and they never stop trying to kill something that’s stomping all over them.
