I just went to my first con in Northampton, MA (In-CON-cievable, great name, huh?) and I was just blown away by the cosplayers who really brought their A-game, and the panels and all the social aspects--I'm hooked. I miss the con now that it's over. Dragon-Con is totally a 2016 goal. <3 ms. shellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14866325143117317611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-88087467875236985782015-09-08T21:25:56.374-04:002015-09-08T21:25:56.374-04:00That was beautiful, Jen.

I also feel "home" when I'm at conventions. I don't know what that magic is. It's part knowing you aren't alone in your enthusiasm for non-mainstream things, part childlike wonder, and part… something else.

That high happy feeling being in the midst of all of that fun. I also know I'd be stuck in my office for the week after, yes ignoring people because I'm on overload, but also giddily pinning down ideas for the next year. I do it every time we go to a local con. I love seeing your photos and recounts of cons. I really appreciate all that you share, and the fabulous that is you two!

Thanks for the Leia bot pin :D And doubt you recognized me in my cosplay since my firey hair was covered, but was super excited when you stopped my disco mario party group for a photo on Saturday afternoon! Kinda funny - I have missed you every dragoncon until this one, but once after meeting you and John on Thursday, I saw you through the crowds at least three other times over the weekend LOL.

Maybe someday!<br /><br />Can't wait to read and see more when you get back.

("I helped make that happen" being one of them) I'm jealous. Nothing happens up near me. And I don't have the money to go even a little ways away, or the fortitude to go to anyplace big. I can't even go to the State Fair without the certainly having a massive panic attack. Crowds and me? Not friends... Not acquaintances... Not even on the same plane of existence!
