We WERE going to go to the afterparty but decided to stay in instead. Another full day awaits, tomorrow. #
Waiting for Day 3 to officially begin. Morale is somewhat flagging to match the crowds (or lack there of). Such a shame. #
Anticipating a whole lot of nothing for today’s panel: the door isn’t even unlocked, yet. #
@swanjun @palmie says no, says she’s been at a Con (we’re all still in PC) #
So far, today has been good for drawing bits for the party invitations. Next will be a calendar pin-up. #
Packed up early and now on the way back home. We weren’t the only ones leaving, either. #
Am brain dead post-con. @AgentSpectrum drove home so I could nap, ordered dinner while I napped some more, & is being generally awesome. #
@swanjun Pizza! #
@swanjun lol Papa Johns; I love their Works, thin crust, no sauce. Plus they have yummy breadsticks. #
@swanjun I’ve had their ravioli before but that was before tomoto sauce became verboten #

I think I’m just abut ready for Day 2 of Wrath of Con and my first panel of the show. #
Okay, what happens if no one shows for my panels? #
Came back from the non-panel to find a fan waiting to meet me & buy my book! Be still my heart! #
Seems to be a smaller turn-out, overall, this year. Hmmmm #
“every side ravels” says @palmie when discussing fandom fringes. #
Long stretches of nothing punctuated by a few good conversations with a new fan. Punctuation makes today worthwhile. #
News Herald just took some shots of me working, will have to check out their site to see if any of them make it in. #
Just had a good, long convo with one of the comics guys from last year. Networking and schmoozing like I know what I’m doing. #
Finished paneling the 6-page print submission during the last lull, now to start the letters. Finally, progress! #
Day ended with 2 folks from a web design service stopping by: chatted about the panel that wasn’t. It’s become a running joke. #
Quoting @AgentSpectrum “Well, you know, R2 services many types of aliens.” #
Dinner @ 30-degree blue was our best dining experience on this property in 2 years. #
Would have been perfect had I not spilled hot artichoke dip on my hand. I don’t think it’ll blister but it likely came close. #

On our way to Wrath of Con! #
The table is set up, have made a new friend, as it were, chatted with the ALPHA ghost guys and organizing my stuff for tmw’s panel. #
The comic shop sponsor of the con is giving out little wizard stress squeezies! To cute!!! #
Vendor room is about to close. Tonight is Uncle Jerry’s Caligula Cocktail party… Should be interesting. #
Had to do something I hate to do: send a dish back. The shrimp and scallops kebabs were overcooked to the point of rubber. Ugh! #

Finally some good news! Lung function is normal and even better than normal in some areas; no problem from the A1AT deficiency. #
Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, today. #
Ooh! The schedule for http://www.wrathofcon.com Is up. Webcomic panels at 10am Saturday & Sunday, whee! #
Flyers are copied and trimmed (thanks to a very nice co-worker), nails are next, then grocery then home to organize my presentations #

Mom is okay, at least as far as they could tell, but today has continued to be bizarre. Oh, look, flashing lights up ahead. Of course. #
Aw, forget it, I’ll get my nails done tomorrow, not taking a chance today! #
