Zappcon 2015 - Part 3

I took a while to type this up. Firstly, I could not hold my head upright without assistance for a couple of days after the con and was peck typing. It had nothing to do with the hold up on me assigning words to my feelings, but my throat was also a little raw as I spoke more last weekend than I do over the entirety of some months. TOTALLY. WORTH. IT. I also did not know what to blog about as there was just so much. Not everything was sunshine and puppies, but nothing kept me from coming back day two on less than three hours of sleep after more than a gallon of mixed local beers jostling around in my tummy either.

Sunday was less complicated than Saturday. I awoke both days at 5:30 so I could get a bath and check my backpack before catching my ride to the convention center. My morning event was a painting class. The class was being held both days, but I really wanted to get into the Atomic Robo game from Day One. The guy leading the class is a local that had been painting for long enough he still uses the GW inks. So at least the early aughts. It was bare bones beginner, but it was still fun. It started with one round table in the board game area, but spilled over to a second. After that I wandered the dealer stalls and Artists' Alley again as well as grabbed some con food.

Zappcon 2015 - Part 1

I attended Zappcon last weekend. For those unfamiliar with Zappcon, it is a sort of mixed media convention that welcomed more than 2K people over the course of both Saturday and Sunday. Attendance might have been higher if both of the primary means of driving between Central and Southern California were not impacted by serious mudslides. It's a bit hard to figure out what I should write about. This year's Zappcon was my first convention so I don't really have anything to compare it to.
