More later - I've got some things propigating in my head. Oh yeah, I need to do some DII crits too!

And domynoe, the cookies arrived. :D I have stolen all the chocolate crinkles, and I completely understand now.

Was fun. I'll post more later, but the con was great and I had a blast. And I think I have the ideas of a plot for Snow. But right now, I need to go make lunch for tomorrow and then go to bed.

Wow, it's Monday already? Bah.

StellarCon was a blast. Seriously. There were a ton of highlights:

1. Guitar Hero III, Rock Band and Wii Sports with daveybeauchamp and Donna. Wow. I need a Wii badly now.

2. Selling a character in Dark Moon Seasons for $55 at the auction Saturday night. DMP sold 3 Tuckerizations for a stunning total of $210!!! Go us!

3. Being informed that I am now daveybeauchamp's brain. How surreal.

So here's the deal.

We came in Thursday night and checked in. The woman who checked us in was a royal b*tch, but the hotel was okay. The free internet was down most of weekend, which was irritating. And the room was a DESERT - I'm sick now because it was so darn dry.

Friday was my first panel - at 11 pm. We ran into daveybeauchamp, as well as Tony Ruggerio and Mary, and Mike Pederson and random others. There was a promise of drunken Wii, but I was still on crutches and since my last panel (with Mike) was at 11 pm, I never made it there.

That panel. Wow. Mike and I could have not shown up and they'd've been fine. :p But it was interesting. I really should try and see some more of the new Doctor Who at some point.

Saturday I had a signing that went well (I sold a book!), a reading that never happened (ah, scheduling snafus!) and a panel I missed due to excessive Wii-ing (daveybeauchamp being a BAD influence!). We also conceived the Livers for Boobies contest (see prior entry) and introduced Donna to con parties. It was fun! Oh, and the Tuckerization auction happened as well.

Sunday, amazingly, I was not hung over, but I did sleep late. Donna and I went to lunch, then I went down to a very creepy little doll museum we'd spotted the day before and took some pictures for an upcoming Sapph novel. Then I went to my last panel, which was on collecting SF, and then we went and collected all our stuff. The Wii hung out in our room for a bit, then we packed and headed out at oh-god-thirty (otherwise known as 6:30 am) this morning to catch a plane.

Whew! What a weekend! Pictures later (when I get home and get them uploaded to the computer).

Don't forget The Contest!! I'm waiting to see the cool ideas folks come up with!

To dos today:
- Call US Airways about a wheelchair boarding for Thursday and Monday
- Go and get some new shirts
- Pack the backpack
- Finish packing the suitcase
- Charge Spock (the iPod)
- Get potatoes and set up crockpot for hubby
- call the brother and wish him a Happy Birthday
- Stitch sweater together
- Write rose garden scene for Seasons
- Write Chapter 2 for Dreams

I think that's it. I can't think of anything else right now.

Oh yeah, I need to bring tea!!!
