I might be too old for this shit

justalurkrEvery year I start with the best expectations of attending reporting every delicious panel, and every year I fail at something.
I give myself props this year for actually going every day (so far.) Last year I blew off Saturday because "it was too crowded to be fun," so attending from 1pm to 11pm was a vast improvement over that. Also, I actually got in to a 230pm Major Panel in a ballroom on a Saturday, which is some sort of hat trick. The secret was picking a show (Stargate) that's been off the air a little bit and scoring an indoor line. Joe Flanigan is mancandy however life finds him, I can accurately report on that much. :D
My brain has been giving me a number of WTF moments with respect to my water bottle and MARTA Breeze card--both keeping disappearing on me because I develop a black hole in my brain regarding where I last left them.
So, basically my fail this year concerns updating y'all on the details of what I'm doing, but at least I'm doing it.
Next year, I will not only plan this out like D-Day, donate blood last and stay hydrated (all factors I consider contributory to my success so far,) but (glares at tummy) I will have lost almost all of this weight and have, like, legs that want to walk.
Props to the Dragoncon staff for really honing in on crowd control, too. I may actually risk the dealer's rooms.
