Day 2: queue con.
The illustrated hardback edition of A Game Of Thrones is pretty heavy. I know this because I was lugging it around all morning just so I could get it autographed for ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
flickums .
Since nothing was happening the session before, I decided to join the queue early. It had already starting to get quite long. I'd actually stopped by at about 10:30 (signing starts at 2pm) and there were already a dozen or so people waiting, but no matter how much I adore Flickums, I'm not waiting that long.
So eventually the signing started, I got to the front if the line, and George R R Martin said nice thinks about Flickums' book (it is very nice). He signed the book. Sent a photo to Flickums. Flickums seemed happy.
Actually got into some panels this time. One on cosplay history, one on geocaching, and one on rpgs. Although I did need to queue for a couple of them.
More parties. More queuing. This time for drinks. The Chinese science fiction group had a nice party though. Rather professionally done. Milled around and chatted a bit but my heart wasn't in it. Did chat to a nice local fan on the way home though.
My feet are tired from standing in queues all day. I think I'll need to spend more time sitting around.
