DragonCon (Patreon)

So…life happened. The apartment move ran up hard against the deadline to leave for DragonCon. How hard? I quite literally turned in the keys for my old apartment right before I loaded my car and headed for Atlanta. There are also piles of unpacked boxes littering the new apartment. It was what you might call less than ideal.

I did manage to get to Atlanta and checked into my hotel without incident. After which I almost immediately fell asleep. Nine hours of driving takes it out of you. The con technically started today, but it was mostly still setup. I picked up my pass and then made a terrible life choice. You see, it was only 4/10 of a mile from the hotel to the building of the vendor hall. Well, let me give you a little insight. 4/10 of a mile in Atlanta heat and humidity is like two miles in Ohio heat and humidity. by the time I got there and found my way inside, I was sweat-soaked and vile.

Now, a smart person would have cut their losses, gone back to their hotel, showered, and gone back. I was not that person. I wish I had been. I felt so gross that it was really hard to relax and be personable. Lesson learned. Couple of lessons learned really.

The rest of the day was fairly mundane…for me at least. I did briefly meet Tao Wong, author of the Thousand Li series. I like those books and he’d actually heard of mine, so that was kind of cool. I met a few other people that I liked personally but only caught their first names. So, no bragging rights there. I am going to try to meet Seth Ring if I can arrange it.

Now, for people trying to figure out when and where to find me…see the schedule below.
