Okay, I'm sensitive to the fact that I'm here and you (probably) are not, so in the interest of not being too jealous of us, please note it's raining cats and dogs today, and the conference is not contained to one site. The Quidditch players were coming in to the locker rooms just bathed in mud. Er, if wet, mud-streaked folks are your kink, then, yes, be jealous.
You should be jealous of me, however, because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
waccawheels drew Harry-Draco art for me. I'll post when I get home to my scanner. Her idea of "drawble" is a full-size piece of art! And she's a lovely person, let me just say. ETA: I want to rave a bit more about Wacca, because she was so dedicated and gracious. She was scheduled from noon to 2:00, but that lovely gal sat there and drew for people until 6:30 PM with no break. Absolutely amazing.
The thing that surprised me the most is how, for lack of better description, real, alive, and dynamic everyone is that I've met. I know touching each other on LJ is a great experience, but it just doesn't let you fathom how cool folks really are. I never met more than 2 of you IRL before. The Snape women have adopted me, but the H/D women rock!
My roomate,isiscolo has posted some pictures, but I'm not in them so far. I've given her shit about that, of course.
We did write a bizarre![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Also? I had always felt myself quite an outlier - being of a certain age. But let me tell you, there are many more fans in their 40's than you'd suspect. Although this con is a bit self-selecting due to the cost. Still, it's so nice to know I'm not so out of the ordinary. Men, though? Still a big aberation. Slash? We'd estimate a huge presence. I hear rumors that there are het and gen people here, but I couldn't say.amanuensis1 printed up some badges that read, "Yes, I'm here for the slash." She could have come with hundreds and not sufficed.
Blessisiscolo's cotton socks for bringing her laptop so I can keep up and post. Sorry, legomymalfoy for the spam. Indulge me, for I am of a certain age.
