I took a nice little road trip down with my buddies
Danny &
Darren
We got in Friday night and took a quick walk around the grounds to get a lay of the land and waste some time until the Weird Al concert.
Things were laid out much better this year, if you remember my post from
last year's disaster. This year they had moved all the signings, photo ops and kids zone over to the Big Four, leaving a substantial amount of room in the halls for all of the vendors. Have the con spread over 2 buildings also made things a lot less cramped with plenty of people hanging out outside between the two buildings.
For those that have to deal with anyone who makes fun of you for being a nerd or a geek or anything like that, take a listen to
this speech from Wil Wheaton at this very convention.
