Preparing for GMX turned out to be a four day extravaganza of caffeine, paint, and frustration. The results were pretty decent, though. I took apart a 1993 IBM, a VCR, and two TVs which proved to be a lot of fun. Elizabeth did some ingenious and intricate work on a bunch of different pieces. Jonathan made a sweet telegraph for his Scout outfit.

We skipped Friday due to not having anything ready and went out to Smyrna to see Zombieland (which was awesome) with a bunch of kids, including poor Chris who was totally unprepared for the clowns and spent part of the movie hunkered down in his seat cursing all of us. Then we went to BJ's and played Beatles Rockband, which was fairly decent.

Saturday=Jet Girl, Tank Girl, and dude in a suit. We got a later start than we would have liked, but still made it to some sweet comic panels. Played some Rockband 1, in which the default band name it gave us was "Killasaurus Gun".

Sunday=Steampunk TF2. We also got a late start, but got to some fun panels including a really good Star Trek one. The Toonami panel was lacking and was mostly people talking about later lineups, well after we all stopped watching it. More Rockband, our new band was called "Breadstick Cart", not nearly as cool. Good con for its first year.

Sarah and I watched The Pirates of Silicon Valley the other day and had "Burning Down the House" stuck in our heads for the rest of the day. Had many beers and a lot of fun at karaoke at the Springwater.
Yesterday I talked Trek with one of the eye doctors for far too long.
Now it's time for food and editing.
