AC was good and fun and lucrative and kewl and nifty and all that stuff. Big thanks to all the folks who said hello, or bought stuff, or drew stuff, or were roomies, or had good conversation. Extra points go to the ladies who gave me hugs and/or back-scritches.

A few notable bits of notableness:

Miraculously, except for a light sprinkle here or there, I was never caught in the rain in all the days of hoofing it between the Omni hotel and the Westin or Con center. Sometimes I only missed it by a minute or two, the Saturday evening hurricane-clone being a special example. I'm from Ohio, so occasional terrible weather is nothing new to me, but there were a couple scary-ass storms that weekend.

 shoulung managed to survive the convention despite his previous near-crippling knee injury - but just barely. He'll be paying for stressing them knees for the next few days/weeks/decades.

The Omni is a nifty hotel with a pretty lobby, though pricey. Visiting the Westin really made me appreciate that the were no waits at all for elevators there. I never had to wait more than 30 seconds for a free lift at the Omni. The wireless access was pretty good there too, though I had to sign up for "special guest program" spamming to get it for free.

I keep thinking that I will limit the number of sketchbooks/commissions I take at the con to keep from overworking myself, but it always happens anyway. Since it happens to just about everyone else too, I'm thinking I've discovered a universal truth.

There was an Italian place called Giovanni's which delivers, which we made use of a lot over the course of the con. Don't dare underestimate the size of their food though. I had a large calzone, which turned out to be the size of a manhole cover. On the upside it was not only dinner, but breakfast and lunch for the following day.

Apologies to any and all forgotten here. Until next time... Penn Avenue - Walk sign is on to cross Penn Avenue - Penn Avenue - Walk sign is on to cross Penn Avenue.
