    I haven't been to San Diego in almost 20 years. I'm sure the con looks nothing like it did when I last went. I'm so glad you're getting a chance to enjoy this one. Can't wait to hear all about it when you're back

    I'm glad you got to run around and have a good time and not fetch any water for the "talent."

    Sometimes, it really is more fun just to walk around and see all the stuff going on. Although I suspect you didn't walk so much as body surf on Saturday.

    I've only done teacher's conventions as an exhibitor, but you realistically brought the horror back for me! Back to therapy! :-)
