I know  you're
going to want to do SG-1 BADLY, but damn you've GOTTA
hit  Quickdraw. too bad they don't make a Reality-Tivo!
I have no intention of missing Quick Draw.  SG-1 may be my favorite TV  show, 
but, darn it, this is seeing Sergio in action!  We plan on  seeing The Sergio 
and Mark Show and just holing up in Room 6AB all Saturday for  the marathon 
of ME-moderated panels.  I'm holding out hope that the SG-1  panel will be 
rescheduled.
 

Plan to  split up with Elie, plan your rendezvous back
together, but realize you  WILL miss each other and
often. You get held up, and it can take forever  to
navigate the 4-color jungle!
We've tried splitting up at cons to cover more ground, and it doesn't  work.  
Conventions are no fun without someone there for you to  say "Hey, look at 
this!" or "That's what our house is missing!  A  life-sized Yoda!"  Usually, 
Elie stops to look at the back issues  and I check for Groos then wander within a 
3-4 booth radius until he's done  looking for all of his comics.  Once, he 
tried going to a Buck Rogers panel  while I checked on the progress of our 
sketchbook (at the time, Joe Corroney was  adding to it), and I felt so naked, I 
just couldn't stand it and snuck  back to the speaker room.  Sure, it sounds 
pathetic to read it, but people  who've met us usually find our attachment to one 
another cute and/or  nauseating.  Plus, I need him in strange places.  
Apparently, I have a  misplaced confidence in signs, and if it weren't for him, I 
would have spent the  last four years trying to get out of the terminal at JFK 
airport.

Check  out POVonline for Mark's convention tips,
they're a fun and useful read,  even if YOU don't need
to be reminded to bathe...

Have read and committed to memory.  I plan on bringing two kinds of  soap on 
top of what the hotel provides, just to be on the safe side, and I'm  shopping 
today for extra-turbo-powered deoderant. I've gotten whiffs  of people at 
smaller cons who are charitably described as  "gamey."  That stays in your nose 
forever.
 
Anyway, thanks for all the hints.  Look forward to seeing everyone who  will 
be there in a couple weeks.
 
Janet
