Road Trip Update: Dang, That Was Fast!

Just a quick note (for now) to report that everything went very well on the whirlwind trip to Dragon*Con. Everything went off close enough to plan, there were no issues (other than a couple patches of VERY slow traffic on the way home), and I finally got to meet - in person - my dear friends ladydove7 and zephyri as well as make the acquaintance of several other extremely nice and very talented artists; girlanime, mistressofspam, windfalcon, insanejudge, kaioshade, and a future filmmaker named Jack (who may or may not be on dA).

The convention was an absolute maelstrom of zaniness and fun; great costumes, wonderful artwork, throngs of roving photographers begging to capture the images of the aforementioned lovelies. And, from what I was told, the level of convention madness that I witnessed on Friday was about 20% of what was expected over the weekend.

Not wanting to saddle such exuberant and creative youth with the albatross of my middle-agedness ( ;-) ), I decided to head back a little earlier than the previously mentioned schedule. The trip back was plagued by traffic jams, roadside breakdowns (not mine, thankfully) and a downright paranormal inability to get ANY FREAKIN' FOOD for about 250 miles! Oh well. Finished up the trip at 04:30 this morning, 25.5 hours after setting out.

It was a very fun day.

So, now it is off to begin editing the footage. I should have the first installment of the PORTFOLIO - Special Report posted within the next day or two. If you subscribe (via iTunes or elsewise) you'll get it automatically; if you don't, I'll post an announcement here.

Thanks for all the feedback and support throughout. Be thinking about what we should do next; I'd love to hear your ideas.
