The con seemed crowded (of course) yesterday but not too crowded, at least in the aisles I roamed. I still see a lot of people who have a huge shoulder bag or a costume that involves extension or faux weaponry and are unable to grasp that their added bulk causes them to bump into others or even come close to eye injury. Most of the traffic jams on the floor seemed to be because of this, as well as the usual cosplayers who think that if someone wants to take your picture, you just stop wherever you are and pose. If people could be a little more aware of those things, it would be a lot easier to get around in that place…or in any convention.
Gotta run to a breakfast meeting so further reports will have to wait. But I'm having a great time. We have artists and writers and other creative folks and enthusiastic fans…and there's a guy working security who looks enough like Roger Ailes that the jokes just write themselves. Back later.
