Am home.

Alive. Someone said that security at the airport was a two-hour wait. That somebody was very very wrong. It took us ten minutes, tops.

I spent about two hours writing porn on Captain Jack.

Overheard a pilot talking on his cell phone about DC. He said it was a 'giant costume party'. Which, well, it sort of is, in a way. It's much more, though.

I like alive. Alive is good. So is porn.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Porn is very good.

Someone said that security at the airport was a two-hour wait.

They probably got it confused with the wait for the elevators at the Hyatt. We ended up schlepping our bags down eleven flights.

*headdesk*

Awww. Yeah, that's the one thing I'm not fond of when considering booking a room in one of the con hotels next year.

[rihansu.livejournal.com]

I think the Hyatt is definitely out for us next year. Maybe the Marriott and Hilton will be better.

He left out the part that went, "And they were all drunk and had swords."

[arrshley.livejournal.com]

Now there's a dangerous combination...

But amusing at 3 a.m. (also, if we ever took dlly to dc, I'm not sure we'd get him back)

And I wasn't talking about just the pirates, either. I mean, there were at least a dozen sword dealers at the con so by Sunday night, every other person had one. (And they were all drunk).

*falls over, snickering* So very true.

Despite not getting drunk, even I wound up with a sword. I found a replica of Elizabeth's kingly sword. The poor clerk kept offering replicas of Jack Sparrows, Sao Feng's, Norrington's, and I would only let him get as far as, "We also have Name-" before I would say, "Not interested in him [either]."

....dude. In case I haven't mentioned this before, your Elizabeth-love is damned awesome.

And, dammit. I had no idea there were replicas (I was mostly oblivious in going through the place, anyway)

Re: Swords & Booze

[kkglinka.livejournal.com]

I didn't know either, and looked at every sword booth just in case. I found it on sight without asking. I am scary sad that way. I readily identified the sword right next to it as Sao Feng's (very appropriate placement). But that's not the best part. Oh noes. The best part was when we went out to the parapets for a break and photo shoot where I could crack my whip and guess who we found also on the parapets in an accurate costume?

*runs around gloating, for a moment*

Ahem, sorry.

Re: Swords & Booze

DAMN. I never saw her. *sad* I saw a few in vaguely period dress, but not her. *sulks*

Re: Swords & Booze

[kkglinka.livejournal.com]

*g* I saw two, possibly three. Because I can be a creepy stalker, like that, especially when dressed as Batgirl dark vengeance!.

Alive is very good.

Thank you SO much for the awesome pin! and I'm sorry that you vanished before I could say a proper goodbye.

It was great to finally meet up with you :-)

The 'fangirl circle' was actually brought up at the Track discussion for ideas for next year. Apparently, 'Bob' had a really good time and thinks it should become an official afterhours event.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

How how how did I not manage to meet you?

*despairs*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. :/ Maybe next year, I'll have a room in one of the main hotels and throw a room party and make all of you come to it.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

I can get on board with that.
