Bloo's smirking again.

I've also heard that they would nearly double in size, pushing the size to over 1 million sf. We'll see. I can't imagine the con going to another city (won't happen next year, but it might someday).

Yes, he is!

We got in yesterday, and the bird came home today. My feet are really screwed up, one foot has a bunion now and the other is infected. So um, yay. -_- We're likely not going to Con next year for financial reasons, so at least I won't have to go through that again.

I have not yet found my digital camera cable but when I do, I will post photos.

I'm really sorry to hear about both feet. If you really need to take at least a year off, then I'm totally okay with that. I do would like to see you once at some point next year, maybe outside of the summer.

Lynnie · 07-29-2009, 06:05 PM

Ow! I hope your feet will be ok, Sparky. That sounds horrible. Sorry to hear you won't likely be making it down next year, too. I hope things will turn around for the better real soon.

I for one had completely forgotten my phone's charging cord. I was worried my phone's battery would run out so I ended up not using it as much as I had originally planned. When getting into my dad's car when he picked me up, there it was in the back seat. Not sure how it had gotten there, it must have fallen out of my bag on the trip to the airport Saturday morning. I hope you're able to find your camera's cord.

I had kind of a scare along those lines; I couldn't remember if I packed my house keys. They turned out to be in my suitcase, fortunately, but I spent several long hours wondering if I was going to have to break into my own apartment.

My sympathies on your feet, Sparky. I really hope you find a solution for that; I know it's been a llong, painful problem. We'll miss you in 2010, too, but you already know that. Just take care of yourself, that's all we ask.

taranchula · 07-29-2009, 08:01 PM

Ow geez, sorry to hear about your infection there Sparky.

All I can really say is, Get well soon.

Wow, the 09 con just ended and people are making plans for 2010 already. Talk about dedication to having fun.

I too is currently in the early stages of planning another journey to next years event.

And by early stages I mean I am going to start to save my money little by little and then see what my finances are like around Christmas time before making any firm commitments, so stay tuned peeps.

And if not 2010 then maybe 2011, but one thing is certain I do want to go one more time.

Oh GAWD! I forgot I did a grimace pose with Terrence's guitar...I will look so stupid! Don't laugh people!

It does appear that I have lost my camera bag, which contained the usb cord and I think maybe a memory card I never use. Possibly another cord I never use, the one that connects the camera to a composite input. Anyways next time I turn on my desktop computer I can use the built-in card reader to retrieve the photos but I do need to order a new usb cord from the company because it's not a common one I can buy locally. I'm going to do that in just a moment.

So anyways next week I hope to have the '09 CC page up on this site. I don't think I can get to it before then. If you have photos start going through them to see what you might want to contribute.

Just been reading up on all the posts, and it's safe to say the '09 Con was canny event-packed. Obviously it goes without saying that I wish I could've been there myself, but I'm glad to hear everyone had a great time.

Sorry to hear about the feet, Sparky, hopefully they'll be alright soon.

Lynnie · 08-01-2009, 07:29 PM

I may have two or three pictures worth sharing on the CC09 page. Sparky, should they be a certain size?
