Otakon killed me
Title says it all ... crazy con, always wonderful to see Fred and
Sarah, and got some stories to tell and pictures to show. I got back
and slept about 7 hours, and now I'm going to sleep 7 more. Rant
later this week.
Real quick, though ... thanks to Jon Harmon, John Heaton, Richard
Kim, and all the Otakon staff who helped make our Otakon
experience a good one. You guys are really good to us! (And Jon, I
owe you six bucks for that cab :/ )
