Additional notes from Day 0
Additional notes from standing in line yesterday for the con registration:
Regarding the tremendous number of people slowly walking in the line toward registration, Ben quipped: “Just shows you that people will do anything if you tell them Mark Hamill will be there.” (I don’t think Mark Hamill will be there, but you get the point)
There were several people standing on the roof of a parking garage overlooking the south end of the convention center. Two guys were standing on the ledge (much to the dismay of their mothers*, I’m sure), clearly enjoying the gasps and finger-pointing from the crowd below. One of them was wearing a Batman costume. I wanted to scream “Fly, fatass, fly!” but I didn’t want people to, you know, think I was a geek or anything.
*Ben says the guys were probably our age, but still.
(I’ll have to update my stories with photos later tonight… it’s time to head out for day #1!)
[Edit: I added the photo, and must admit that my camera has better vision than my eyesight. The kid on the right is wearing a black cap and black clothes, not a Batman costume as I saw with my "corrected" astigmatism.]
