On the hypotwit's presser yesterday.

FenCon

I'm in Addison, TX, just north of Dallas, for FenCon IV. And already I'm loving it. Haven't yet spoken with anybody from the con, but the bellman delivered a FenCon tote bag with just the greatest swag evar. A glass bottle of Bock (what the hell, I'll try it) and another, old-style design, of Dr. Pepper, and a Don't Mess With Texas bottle opener. A Film Crew button.

And five-and-dime toys in profusion.

A business-card-sized Spirograph. Texas candies. A tin of Play-Doh. A parachute-army-man toy. A Roswell alien. A Forget-Me-Not growing kit. Crayons, a little writing pad, a tracing pad (the old film-and-stylus thing, haven't seen one of those in years and years).

And the coolest of the cool, the beyondest of the beyond, something I didn't even know existed... Mini Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.

I think I'm gonna like it here.

Oh, and, billroper? daisy_knotwise? I'm parked right next to you. ;)

( Here's my schedule for the weekend.... )

So, who all's gonna be here?

ETA: billroper wrote just the nicest bio for me. Thank you, my friend.

Happy Birthday, braider
