Road Trip 4 – Friday at Westercon

Saturday, July 7th, 2012

Woke up earlier than I expected after being up till 3am.  Got ready to go out, slowly.  Ate breakfast, took a shower, etc.

Went to an 11:00am panel, but decided the next couple were dumb, and wandered a bit.  Looked at the art show – cool stuff, bigger than last Westercon, bigger than Baycon, but everyone says smaller than Norwescon – and am glad nothing demands I take it home.  Dealers room was similar.  Picked up some unusual comic books (which are small, so I can get them home) and didn’t buy the deliciously steampunk cane.  May try and find some books tomorrow.

Tuesday, I left Roseburg, OR, and drove to my  Aunt’s new house in Ocean Shores..  I got the tire pressure light to go off – the Internet knew the correct inflation for the tires – and I got a speeding ticket in Salem.  Made me grumpy, but I was speeding so it really isn’t as if I can complain.
