Yes, back from Con and what dallendoug said on his entry (minus the EveCon comment. . .I was entirely too young for that ;-).

In short, this is my first full experience of a convention ever. And oh boy is it the best. . .thought nothing could top last year, but I was so wrong (starsoup7 and I crashed the Con last year for a 24 hour trip). Until I can gather my thoughts more coherenly later in the week, here are some highlights:

- my portrait done by one of the coolest, generous and talented artist at Con, Andy Lee, who has been on tour for a while now, with one of my favorite comic artist/writer, David Mack (creator of Kabuki, who I dressed up as for last Halloween). We became fast friends with Andy, and it all snowballed from there. . .This man is too awesome for words, please buy a print from him.

- Got my mask signed by David Mack. Now I can peacefully retired the cracked, fragile mask that she is. Time for a new one for next year, perhaps something fiberglassy. :-D

- partying with Andy, Stuart Sayger (who's also touring with David Mack), the infamous Yaya, her posh of creative people and our next door neighbors and its_just_doc. These people are the sweetest, nicest, hilarious, and most talented group of people dallendoug and I had the pleasure of knowning on this trip. Incredibly inspiring to know such humble, wacky asian artists. Totally changed my perspective and opening my eyes to the next generation of the Asian-American artist culture. Well, our neighbors aren't asians, just some of the artists, but they're definitely wacky too ;-). OOh and did I mention fun? I'm still recovering from laughing too much. (pic of Andy, myself and Stuart in their booth )

- the talented starsoup7 made up papercuppie and teased the hell out of our hair so that we could have a posing/photoshoot session in our room. Again, not many good pics came out of that except one, but we had a hell of a time dressing up and pretending to look somber on our hotel beds. papercuppie looked stunning! Reminds me of how much I truly miss my camera.

- The Serenity panel was a blast. I've never laughed so hard at a panel before. The chemistry was truly a pleasure to experience. Ron Glass rocked and so does Adam Baldwin!

- In support of Serenity the movie, Doug and I dressed up as Browncoat & Saloon Girl (photo courtesy of ceosanna) as our last minture costume put-together cause we had no time to prepare and decided to fuck it and had a blast with whatever we brought.

- finally, a taste of the "Vegas rules" . . .*smile*
