  • Dragon*Con 2006

    Wahhhhhh!!!!!!

    As you may notice from the categories tags, Dragon*Con was a multi-threaded, awesomely spectacular, ravingly cool, devastatingly delicious weekend. There’s so much to talk about, I’m not sure where to start. This will probably end up being a multiple posting.

    I’ll start by saying, I bought a new camera the week before Dragon*Con, and I’m still working with the settings. Unfortunately, I had the white balance set on tungsten all weekend, so my pictures are a bit blue. I’ll be photoshopping them to adjust the color balance before I post anything. ‘Til then, you’ll just have to deal with my descriptions.

    I think I will leave this post as is. Dragon*Con 2006 was great! I’ve already made hotel reservations for next year.

    [editorital addition] It seems this post is similar to last year’s post. That’s ok! I feel that this year was even better, but that is probably because of the bevey of friends that made the trip here for the Con.

    This image is clear proof that if you take enough shots with your 2Mpx camera, eventually something will come out that is worthy of being blown up to 8×10.
    Our cat, Pysche, sitting in the sunlight of our bedroom.  Click through for a larger image.
    This is our lovely, freaky, hairy cat named Psyche (seye’-kee). She is named for the Greek Goddess of the mind, continuing our tradition of adorning pets with Greek Mythological names. Unfortunately, she has taken the name and applied it directly to its derived word, “psychotic.” She is, without a doubt, a freak.

    Also, she is very hairy and loves to share that hair with us, and the carpet, and the couch, and regularly condenses it into a nice tidy bundle and then vomits it back onto some flat surface in the house. I’ll never have a long-haired cat again.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love our cat. But she’s a freak.
