well that was lots of fun, the whole day in fact. drove down to the city and took a trolly car for a while. got off and te family split up, my sister-in-law and i wondered off to japantown to check out the con and the rest of the fam got on a bus to head to the warf. amazingly enough when we got to the con there really wasn't a lot of people there. we checked out the dealers. i bought a book, she bought a mag... we looked at everything including the guy making molds of peoples teeth so that he could make custom fangs. would be tempting if i didnt already have a pair (cheapoes but they work just fine for me). they were an hour behind... something to do with lawyers from what i was told so we went for a walk and ended up at the tattoo expo. well shit that was an amazing sight. there were at least 80 booths set up downstairs and one to two people getting a tattoo at each one. we checked out all of that stuf and then went upstairs where i got a shirt and a button that says "can i poke you?" which i fassened to my bag which had gotten really full by that time (mostly with stuff from spooky con). we got back to spooky con in time to chat with Warren Ellis and listen to Christa Faust before we had to go again to meet up with my brother. of course meeting up with him meant a little bit of a walk so that we could get to a place he knew how to get too... this of course meant wondering into shops with things i could never afford but really really wanted. anyways thats the short version of the day.. the long one is just longer with more boring stuff.
oh ya, and i say darren but of course, being as shy as i am i never actually said anything to him (you) but i will say this... if it's at all possible, i'll be showing up for the next one and the next one after that.
