No Strings Attached

Posted By Kathleen David on October 11, 2010

Ok that was our last big convention this year. Now it is onto other things like Halloween decorations and school stuff.

I did have fun. I met some new people and caught up with a lot of old friends. The convention was huge and, because of the construction in the Javits, it could be very hard to move around. I really don’t like crowds but I deal with them when I have to. At the bottleneck points, it was very hard to deal with people. This should be better next year when the construction on the center is done.

Convention are fun but they are also lots of work for us. What kind of work depends on the convention. But there is always the packing, the travel, the convention, the travel and then the unpacking to be done even for the local ones.

Also if you look tired or out of sorts, that can get up on the net pretty quickly esp. with all the smart phones with cameras and video. Anything you say within earshot of anyone else is fair game for a tweet these days so you have to watch what you say and who you say it in front of. This can be even harder when you are trying to have a conversation with someone and there are fans hovering just at the edges of the conversation.

But over all my convention experience is a positive one. And I am grateful that I get to go to them.

There are a few pictures behind the cut that I took at the convention.

I am grateful that everyone made it back home safe.
