Terminus
So, I met a lot of people. Many I'd never met before, while some were folks I'd met at Lumos or Prophecy.
I hate listing names because I'd miss so many people. Suffice it to say that I was thrilled with the turnout at the Snarry meet-up. There were a few surprise attendees, which was nice. Don't you just love putting faces to names?
The Chicago Hilton needs a crash course in diversity training, and since I truly despise the word 'diversity', that's saying a mouthful. It seemed as if we were an embarrassment to the hotel, and some of its other clientele. Tooooo bad.
My two roomies (amand_r and tripperfunster) were the criznap! We were definitely out of control. Nuff said.
Drunkeater party...mmmmm, vodka.
Grant Park...HP taboo charades...Slytherin ruled!
One thing I do want to mention...I never win anything when it comes to trivia games/raffles, etc, so imagine my surprise when I actually placed in the trivia game at the Snarry meetup. They had multitudinous gorgeous prizes on a table, and I was in the first three or four people up there. The minute I saw it, I knew I wanted it....elfwreck made a printed and bound copy of the 2006 Snarry Games fics. I pounced on it and claimed it for my own! Thanks, elfwreck! It means all the more to me, knowing your little hands made it. I saw the PDF CD, but I had to have the printed one. I like paper copies.
I only went to one panel. Awwww, c'mon, a schedule?!! Too much like school, although there were a few I was sorry I missed. I enjoyed just letting the wind take me where it would...
At Prophecy last year, I remember thinking to myself that that con would probably be the last well-attended one, given that canon was done, and the fact that many of my flist seemed to be writing in new fandoms. I was wrong, it seems....
And next year, Azkatraz, god willing!
