(D. Delany...hmmm. Now, IF you had said Kim Delany...) Anyway, as you can see, I'm home today. As it turns out, my wife missed me more than I understood. Call me PW'd if you will, but as much as I wanted to return to DragonCon today, I just couldn't do it knowing she would be sad all day. We do just about everything together and it's rare we are apart. We work together, lunch together, errands together. About the only time we spend "apart" is when she's playing Mechwarrior on MSN's gaming zone (Valkyrie) and I'm on Renderosity...and even then we're 4 feet from each other. It wasn't till I started looking over the schedule and discovered the entire weekend was filled with Buffy seminars that we realized there was something there SHE was really interested in. I took her down there on Friday and we did what she wanted to do. Since we now know the Buffy stuff is at DragonCon, we'll plan better next year...meaning making alternate plans for our 7-year-old daughter that will free both of us up and not leave one at home "babysitting". Besides, it's a holiday weekend and my wife shouldn't be spending it alone. Wish I could have some more tidbits for those who are interested but I guess we'll have to look elsewhere. AND, I hope the little info I posted was taken as just that--info (and not any sort of childish "I got to go and you didn't...na-na-nee-na-na" way). I read somewhere that someone was interested in the rest of the prizes I got, so I'll humbly mention them: The new DAZ dragon, the DAZ costume pack (actually, the CD is labeled Zygote), a DAZ CD carrying pouch, "3D Texture Workshop" book (The Making of Freaky Frank), and a $20 DAZ gift certificate. Renderosity gave out a really nice freebie book at their booth titled, "3rd Annual 101 Hot Tips" for Photoshop and a small commemerative poster of their appearence at Dragon*Con. All the tickets I stuffed in the drawing bucket (about 15) are still good for thousands of dollars being given away again today (and again on Monday). Guess I'll miss out on any winning ticket(s) as they are just numbers and no names and addresses appear. But no need to be greedy. I had a great time and the stuff I won more than paid me back for my weekend pass. I guess one could say my cup runneth over this weekend. Now, I'll plop down on the bed, curl up next to my wife, and watch a movie with her. PS: I also accosted a women who had the indications of an incredible tatoo on her back. Persuaded her to remove her top right there in the vendor area so I could photograph it. Well, it WAS/IS an incredible tatoo! That's when she told me it won the "Best Female Tatoo of the Year" award at some national tatoo convention in 1984. You guessed it, a dragon with rainbow coloring that covered her entire back! Oh, and she's a librarian...hehe.
