Con journal day 1
Got my (dad's, actually) digital camera stolen because I was stupid enough to put it in checked baggage. Idiotic. I'm going to have to buy another for work purposes, which I can't afford right now, but mostly I am pissed because I'd been planning on taking SO MANY pictures this con.
It has become clear that this whole weekend is going to be an exercise in advanced line-standing. I guess it's good to get braced for that early. The crowds are intense, even on preview night. I wasn't prepared for the Exhibition Hall, given that I am a mostly panel-focused con-goer, so that took me totally by surprise. It probably does more to appeal to the "shiny!" instinct than anything I've ever seen- I find myself wandering around gaping, and I can just feel my attention span shrinking.
