TusCon 45.
Nov. 12th, 2018 11:14 amI managed to set up the animals to go for the whole weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun). My hip/left leg is still bad enough I knew I wouldn't be able to drive back and forth, or even drive myself down to the Con on Saturday which I might have done in previous years. C was a huge help setting everyone up and doing the after Con animal care. We should be able to do the same thing for LepreCon, since they've moved it to Easter weekend when the weather will likely still be mild enough.
C had lots of fun LANgaming, per his new usual. There were enough Cosplay and writing panels to keep S and H, respectively, happily occupied. All three kids got to swim with the mermaid. The hotel pool was wonderful, heated and salt.
Besides filking, which we made happen by sheer force of will, and the fact that our family makes critical mass anywhere we go, there was little else to interest M and me this weekend. M currently has hopes to skip TusCon next year, and instead, fly out to OryCon with the boy. We'd let the girls go to TusCon on their own, and under those circumstances, I would, of course, hold down the fort.
I enjoyed the filking, we had a new someone visiting from Colorado, and they had a very pleasant voice. I also aquired some original art by Sarah Clemens from the art show.
Picking up original art is one of my new favorite things to do, now that our walls are getting crowded and we have more disposable income than when we started this Con going journey so many years ago.
Each of the kids picked up a print that they liked and C and I bought many buttons.
The biggest disaster of the weekend was when S forgot her gryphon in our hotel room. He wasn't noticed missing until we got home. Several calls to a very uncaring hotel staff member and more calls to our amazingly helpful friend who was still on site, led to the recovery of S's one of a kind, very special puppet.
It made for a very late night for M and S when they drove back to the hotel to retrieve the gryphon. On the up side, S got in a good 2 hours of night driving practice.
