Bride of Foleystein came down with a stomach bug, so she won\'t be there.
I, on the other hand, will be my usual cheerful self amongst the throngs and the constench, threatening bodily injury on any and all furries and with my speed draw holster full of AXE for emergencies.

It doesn\'t look like your pic in your profile anyhow!
Anyhow, congrats on finals Uber! I thought you would have won something, but ah well, always next year.

Dudes!! (and dudettes)...
We got back in about 2 this morning....so all\'s well.
I didn\'t meet everyone, but I met a few folks (including Supervike). On the trip home, we were all lamenting how we wished we could have gone out to dinner with you guys----but sadly, we had to get back. We\'re already planning a long trip for next year.
Anyway..typical competition for me...
The pieces I thought might win something didn\'t win a thing, and the piece that I thought wouldn\'t win anything brought home a little swag.
It looked like I made the cut on the PP contest, too. Well, I was on the tray when they picked the winners of the single category. anyway....and they did pick my model up at least once (and made some nice comments about it). Which was cool....
The Privateer Press guys were cutting-up a bit about my name---\"Kevin Clark\" for you guys that follow the PP games. We\'re *not* the same guy, btw.
The Rackham piece I painted didn\'t win a thing----but it looked like it made it up the cut a bit, anyway....I couldn\'t tell for sure, and I never bother asking anyone.
And then I won some sort of Reaper/Black Lightning choice award---so, I got $25 in pewter that I otherwise wouldn\'t have had.
All in all a fun trip. I picked up a few pointers from some folks.
Harassed some people a bit, apparently---you know, tried to say hello to some of the paint \"celebs\" only to have them peer at me like I\'m a stalker and attempt to ignore me. I really find this behavior more prevalent than would be expected, considering it\'s *just* miniature paint. I\'m not sure if it speaks to me or to them. I just find it odd, really. Perhaps I need to rethink my initial approach...
And then I had a real nice conversation with Bobby Jackson....which was way cool....and picked up a few putty tips/tricks.
Cheers!

Maybe you shouldn\'t have been wearing your night vision goggles and the t-shirt with their photo on it.
Anyway, congrats to all those who won or nearly won something. Looks like you had a good time anyway.

I concour...Jeremie stayed the weekend at my house while he did the San Diego painting lessons. He\'s a good guy and has a great sence of humor! His passion for life is infective.

Who\'s who at Gen Con
Well, I never found the Wyrd booth but I did run into quite a few of you guys at one point or other. Met SuperVike at Paint and Take. I think it was Darthfoley and Frustrated Father I ran into outside the mini cases. EricJ I didn\'t see this year but I met him last. I think I ran into Uberdark at some point as well.
I met one of you guys outside the Privateer Press case but the handle escapes me at the moment.
Being one of the SueCrew, I roomed with Evil Bob and rubbed elbows with more \"name\" painters than you can shake a stick at.
Got to see Wren again and her Best in Show from ReaperCon. That was cool. Had dinner a couple of times with others from the crew but mostly lived on lunch meat and tunafish for the weekend.
Too many names, too many faces, I think my brain is going to melt down.
