....so I >FINALLY< get to Pittsburgh about 3 hrs behind sched and as luck would have it, as I'm parking my car there's  Zervon who I'm rooming with... and shortly after  Cigarskunk! I get my stuff up in the room, head out with Cig and  Kit_wickliff for kareoke (which, funny enough, I sang one song I was singing in the car on the way!).

After that, I head up to the zoo to see if anyone's there to spend money on.. and Cig tells me that  lilifox is up there, most likely, and I could get her. Now LAST year, Cig tried to get me to see Babs about a con-badge, but she was on line to see Rob Paulson, so that didn't happen.

I saw her and said hi.. and told her about the "Tribbles Are Not:....." collection.. and asked if there was something that caught her attention.. and she ZAPPED right on this one! So I asked her prices... nodded, said OK.. one sec...

And plopped some folded up bills in front of her, said, Ok.. full colour it is.. go nuts!

She unfolded the bills.. and discovered that I'd paid her $10 MORE than she was asking for.. and got all kindsa flustered about it, saying, "I don't know if I'm worth this much!"

Now.. you all look and tell me... was she WORTH the extra dollars? *I* think so!

...this is my fav piece of art from AC'08! Thanks, Babs! SO great!
