Comic Con 2010: Preview Night!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Con has already paid for itself in one night. I met Peter S. Beagle and shook his hand. I learned that we both love the same Shakespeare sonnet. ("When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes...") I was able to tell him what I've been wanting to tell him for years: that if I can write 1/10th as well as he does, I will be proud of my work. He smiled and said that he genuinely feels the same way about certain authors years into his career.
Yes.
I am trying to think of something more profound to say about this, but I am so completely happy right now that I've really got nothing to add. :)
The rumored cap of people on Preview Night was only somewhat effective. It wasn't as bad as the Exhibit Hall normally is, but there were still a few places where walking became very, very difficult. On the other hand, we did get to see the big booths, which was what I had been wanting to do. The Warner Brothers booth has each of the horcruxes and they look really, really cool. (Especially the Elder Wand!) Crazy freebies are already mounting up; it's impossible to stop the flow of stuff. My wallet and I are already having a fight about some really divine looking art and costumes.
More later, with pictures soon! Tomorrow: panels, Small Press area/Artist's Alley/OMG MORE NERDERY. XD

And this is totally awesome for you! I'm glad you got to meet a hero! :) And the horcruxes would be awesome.

I must confess that, selfishly, I would rather see you & husband in a less frantic situation, though. ;)

My vote would be to work in a split where we are there for less frantic times and part of Comic-Con... ;) You know me, I'm going to want to play with Baby and start on any number of stories that he needs to know (and of course, see your parents if they would like). ;D Husband has been with his company for a while, so he's flexible and I will have saved up some more days by then, I hope. ;)
