DragonCon 2008 Friday
Posted By Kathleen David on August 30, 2008
Considering the size of this convention, I am very comfortable here. I have run into people who I use to see more than once a year and now only see them at DragonCon. I got to hang out with 2 out of 3 of my siblings. I get to talk to neat people. And I get lots of hugs.
My panels went well. Judging the workmanship contest was interesting. There were a lot of really good costumes and there was a lot of work put in them. The audience award went to a set of Winkie costumes with a really good Wicked Witch. The best in show went to an incredible Death as Hogfather. The eyes glowed on stage. The guy did a fantastic job with it. We had a bunch of novice costume makers who had the chops to compete on a higher level. I expect to see more from them in the future.
For some strange reason my left foot is bothering me. That is the one that I broke when I fell off the scaffolding over 20 years ago. I am not walking as briskly as I usually do. So I am taking it a little easy.
Today is my puppet panel for the Art Show. I am doing a practical demo on puppet building. I have to just sort out my photos for part of it. I do hope I have something to draw on. I have two panels with the same title of “page to screen” for both the Young Adult (at 7:00) and the Writing Track (at 10). After that I plan to spend sometime hanging out with my brother and my buddies.
I am grateful that Caroline is having such a good time with her grandparents.
Fun Con so far.Nice seeing you and Peter the other day. Jenn and I were both major bummed about missing your workshop today, but little Ian decided to have an information overload meltdown and we ended up having to call it an early day with him.
