Made it to GenCon
Well, everyone, I made it to GenCon Indy and spent most of my time split between the Paint and Take area and the Reaper Demo area. I met Victoria, Haley and Lilli Troy, plus loads of others.
Wren stopped by and said \"Hi\" (I have your picture of Lorrielle Silverrain - PM your address and I\'ll mail it).
A fellow named Matt dropped and showed me the Monk he\'d painted since I talked to him at Origins. I was deathly embarassed that I couldn\'t remember him, and I\'d have apologized but he took off before I had much chance to talk to him.
I had the chance to attend one of Haley\'s classes (it was AWESOME) and even look at one of her pieces up close.
I met a guy named Steve who beat me in the Origins Adiken Painting Contest (he was first, I was third). Steve was also teaching some classes. Another person in the P&T area was David, a Golden Demon Medalist. It was cool talking to him and listening to him instruct other painters.
Paint and Take gave me a great chance to work on teaching basic painting. I must have explained \"sidebrushing\" 100 times over the course of the weekend.
I don\'t know if they\'ll let me back in the Paint and Take ever again. The people I talked to stayed longer and kept coming back. Skewed there numbers for the weekend.
I don\'t think I was totally responsible for that, though. It seemed a lot of people were trying to get in as much detail as possible and soak up as much painting instruction as they could.
In the Reaper Demo area, I had the chance to play a big stompy dragon in the Warlord demos. Really freaked people out when the dragon started THROWING their Orcs. ORC BOWLING! Whoo-Hoo!
I told the resident Warlord expert what I was doing, and he walked away shaking his head like, \"You\'re sick woman, SICK!\"
All in all, I had a great weekend.
It should be a hoot:bouncy:
