kimberlyfdr, foreverseenstar, and I met up with biancathecookie and went to dinner at Pastini Pastaria. I had the Cavatappi San Marzano - which was really yummy and biancathecookie and I split tiramisu for dessert.
The Westin was really nice. And the bathroom was *huge* (it had a bathtub *and* a spacious shower stall). And we all laughed at the fact that it echoed when we talked. I was amused that we all went to bed at midnight, even though forkimberlyfdr, foreverseenstar, and I it was really 3am and for biancathecookie, it was 1am.
This morning, we went to Jake's (which is the Governor's restaurant) for breakfast because it was close. And while we were waiting for our food, Marc, the con organizer walked by outside, stopped, and backed up, and stared atforeverseenstar until she noticed him, even though the rest of us were giggling.
The line for registration took a while, but we were like, "Well, what else are we going to be doing aside from hanging out and talking anyway, so...." But there were some "Negative Nancies" behind us who kept complaining about how long they were taking and how CreationCon does it better, etc. But, thankfully, the people in charge had given us numbers if we wanted to get out of line and they did.
We went to lunch at Big Town Hero for lunch - which has good sandwiches.
This afternoon, I went to Joe LoDuca's panel (he's the music composer) and as I was about to get on the elevator to go up, a guy stuck his head out and asked if it was the fourth floor. I told him it was the third as I got in, but that I was going up to the fourth floor. He introduced himself as Joe LoDuca and asked if I knew someone. I confessed I didn't and he asked if I was working the con and I told him that no, I was just attending, but that I was going to his panel. It was neat hearing him talking about the music and how he does things.
We've been hanging out for the past few hours, waiting for the cocktail party to start - which we're getting ready for now. (And I'm a bit jealous of their wardrobes!)
