MFF- Official Day One.

Well, I finally dragged my ass out of bed around 10 AM. I took a shower, then called down to see if the buffet was still going. The front desk said yes, so I want down. Only to find out that it had closed at 10. Bleh. I ended up calling [livejournal.com profile] foeclan and then meeting up with him and [livejournal.com profile] joshuwain at the Woodfield Mall.

After a bit of browsing to help [livejournal.com profile] joshuwain on celphone-options, we ended up having a meal at Red Robin. Not bad, but I really wanted breakfast! After that we wandered back to the hotel and went our separate ways.

I decided to unload some more of my cookies after a while, and got a bunch together in a bag and distributed them amongst varied artists and convention staffers. Ha! Take THAT, no-signage hotel!

Anyway, whilst I did that I also went through the dealer's room, art show and artist's alley. First run through for the con, and I commissioned two sketches- one by DarkNatasha in the 'what happens next' sketchbook, starting a new series, and one in my 'Sorien' book. I think I'll keep it down to maybe four pics this year.

Later, I ended up hooking up with [livejournal.com profile] bluedeer and had dinner at Sbarros (yah, I know, not a great place- but it wasn't bad, either, and was VERY filling), wandered the mall some (got a set of four LED lights for 5 bucks from Radio Shack) and then returned to the hotel. Thereafter I kinda holed up in the room.

Later, [livejournal.com profile] morgantaur stopped by, having just arrived. We talked for a while, until [livejournal.com profile] joshuwain called to borrow my rescue inhaler.

I made that delivery, then returned to the room. Shortly thereafter [livejournal.com profile] bluedeer got back to the room with a friend, and we put in 'Ratatouille'. That's about it for the first day. :)
