Oh snap

I bet a lot of people were expecting a litany of Dragon-Con-related posts, now that the convention is over, and I’ve got hundreds of pictures and many stories to tell.  But no, here comes the jock sports bullshit to interrupt all of my nerdy fandoms and shit.

But I have to say that I’m pleased with the way Virginia Tech opened the season with an actual win for a change.  Even if it took overtime and was a way harder game than it probably should have been, I was ecstatic to see Virginia Tech win especially over Georgia Tech.

So today, I go all cheap heel mode at the gym, and march around in a Virginia Tech shirt and remind all the GT students and alums in the place where my allegiances lie.  And I’m not going to lie, for this reason alone does it mean just a little bit more.

Dragon-Con aftermath

I think this picture succinctly sums up Dragon-Con, or sort of how I feel today, now that the con is over and I’m back home.  All in all, it was an enjoyable time, and I don’t really have any genuine complaints, other than the fact that it felt like the crowds were bigger than ever, probably due to so much college football going on.

Four Lokos, hangovers, and my debit card is missing.  But it was great and rewarding to see many faces I hadn’t seen in a long while, and play catch-up and hear all sorts of stories of where people stand today.  I realize that convention programming has very little appeal to me, and that I’d rather stand face-to-face with other people and share interesting stories with the occasional wandering eyes of tempting-looking women sauntering by.

Combined between my two cameras, there are approximately 300 pictures to sort through, process, edit and post.  This will not be an expedient process, since now I’m dealing with RAWs.  So I’ll try to do my best in coming days and get everything up as soon as I can, while trying to post and play catch up with the rest of life.
