Re:Bebop’s Dragon Con Journal
THE THIRD DAY OF MY FIRST CON………..
Well, it’s Sunday and my feet are starting to feel it! I must have walked ten miles this weekend, and half of it in heels!! I slept in a little later this morning, after the party I was the tiredest I’ve been in a while. I finally made my way down to the fan table and cast booth. Everyone at the fan table was in high spirits, but I could tell that I wasn’t the only one starting to tire. The very lovely Tree had traded her wench costume for a Xev costume, and yes definetely very Xevilicious!
At the cast booth, Brian was downing the coffee and smiling his most lovely of smiles. I spent some more time talking to Lloyd and James (Mothbreeder) today. After having placed the 791 robothead prop on top of the PC, it proceeded to give James hell; to the point he began inquiring about my very own method of fixing things (BASEBALL BAT GOOD!). We talked, laughed, and and cursed the wicked machine together. One of the hardest working people I’ve ever seen, James was a total sweetheart and a wealth of knowledge about computers (I still prefer the cure that goes crunch!). Lloyd provided me with loads of wonderful information, not to mention a very yummy sandwhich. (It’s nice to return to solid food!)
At one point Lloyd and Brian took turns seeing how red they could make my face!! In the end, my face was almost purple and my ears could have signaled landing planes. (Which of course led to Lloyd telling Brian, “Look at her ears! They’re so red, it’s so cute!”. ) After that I had to go smoke a ciggy just to get the blood to run back to the rest of my body, leaving me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. My cheeks have begun to hurt from laughing and smiling so much, but it is a welcomed pain.
The next panel was as good as the first one, but had a mostly male audience (They were expecting Xenia, Ellen, and Patty). The four cast members cracked jokes, told more stories, and hammed it up for the crowd. I even got to find out who’s idea it was for the “wall decorations” in Boomtown while “Stan” was having his “fruit cocktail”. ( I know, very BAD pun, but I couldn’t help myself…)
After that it was back to the tables, little did I know I was in store for the hardest part of my Con experience…..
(To be continued….)
