I am unsurprised. My mild jock fights my overwhelming nerd, but always loses. The goth, meanwhile has absolutely nothing to fight against.

ConnecticutCon is finished, and it was certainly... an event of all time. There were some highlights, though! We were right next to Jon St. John's puppy rescue, a Surge cosplayer gave me a bracelet for recognizing her, and I managed to play a full round of DDR without dying!

Judge dinner photo from CommandFest Orlando. This group of chaos gremlins (among others not pictured) gives me life like you wouldn't believe. I'll gladly trade being exhausted all spring for the opportunity to spend more time working with some damn fine Judges.

Tonight I say goodbye to the first and only car I've ever owned. It might seem silly to be sentimental about that, but this car helped dig me out of some of the worst times in my life, ferried me through my judging career, and is really the only thing I've earned actual ownership of... Ever.
