Con report (part 1 of 2, because I am WORDY)

I wrote most of this offline while waiting for my shuttle--offline because the wireless signal in the hotel sucked monkey balls.

This was my second year at Escapade. I never ended up writing a con report last year, because despite the fact that I got to meet some cool people from my f-list (waves at [livejournal.com profile] anoel) and make some new friends (waves at [livejournal.com profile] rsadelle) last year, overall I had found it an alienating experience. I am really introverted, and found it quite difficult to connect with people, and although I went to a couple of the Harry Potter panels and found them interesting, overall I wasn't really interested in the topics being discussed, and I had pretty much decided not to go again.

But then [livejournal.com profile] slinkling, who I have adored from afar for quite a while now, decided to go, and so I went. And I'm very happy to have gone, not simply for the chance to meet and hang out with her and [livejournal.com profile] clari_clyde (though that was definitely the highlight of the con for me), but also because this year I found the panels very, very interesting.

How on earth is Escapade happening in 4 days? Where does the time go? How on earth am I going to get the 400 million things I'm supposed to get done finished before I leave Thursday? (Pardon me if I sound grumpy. I cannot shake this damn cold, and my head has felt like I'm underwater for the past 5 days. I suppose that's better than coughing all the time, but only marginally).

Anyway, I am very excited because I am going to get to meet [livejournal.com profile] slinkling! Yay! And I threatened promised to pimp her into Supernatural while we are at the con, but it occurs to me that we will probably only have time to watch a couple of episodes, given all of the other fun things going on during the weekend, and I'm not actually sure what eps are best for SPN pimping purposes. I have some ideas, but I want to see what the other SPN folks on my f-list think. She's seen the Pilot and "Mystery Spot" already. What else do you think I should show her? (I have the season 1 & 2 DVDs, though all my season 3 is on VHS, which won't work since neither of us will have a tape player at the con).
