Saturday:
We left the house around 7:30 and rolled into GR about 9:30. The drive was empty and fun. We don't have any problems driving ever. Two hours flies by for us. We parked at the hotel so we didn't have to move the car. We got to the convention center around 9:45, fiftenn minutes to open, and oh my there was a line of at least 150 people. I thought we'd be doing okay but apparently so did everyone else. Once the doors opened it was about a 5 minute process to get inside. They were smart and scanned tickets in line to make it easier. The conference was incredible. We chose to walk up and down every aisle before buying anything. We ended up getting a new oil painting, an octopus in a jar, a raccoon skull, a small print of a demon nun, and a full on taxidermed raccoon. His name is Morty. He is the best. We love him so much.
Went back to the hotel and had to wait. We had lunch while we waited and it was wonderful. Got checked in around 2, then hit the streets. We ended up stumbling into an EDM concert in the park where we won some prizes at a pot booth. Then we found ourselves in the middle of a Columbian street festival where we had beer and tequila. Plus I had a pina colada in a pina! That was fun.
We had scooters and bebopped all around on them. We got cookies. We ended up at noodlepig around 6, rode scooters some more, stopped into a speakeasy for drinks, got back to the hotel around 8:30 and collapsed. It was such a wonderful day. Everything we needed. We need to live there so bad. We felt great everywhere we went. We talked to so many people and had great adventures. I needed it.
Yesterday we left around 8 and got home at 10am. Nothing exciting to report because bleh, we were back here. We unpacked, played games, watched tv, went to bed.
I teach this week 11:30-7:30 which sucks but it is what it is.
