Saturday- This goes too fast...

Friday was a fun time, with much wandering and spending of cash. I once again lazied-out and ate at the buffet, this time with Lou, mostly because it was raining outside. When the dealer's room opened at noon, I did the obligatory run through, finding out that the place was a vasty maze- two rooms in truth, with a dividing wall that made it interesting to find your way around if you were the least bit tired/confused/whatever.

Therein, I: 1) Found Vicky Wyman WAS at the con, and comissioned a pic of Sorien in the Sorien-Sketchbook, paid for by the comission-that-never-was from the last time I saw her (Shit happens, and its no problem- I got the commission, just late. :) ), 2) Commissioned a second pic from her of my Siren/Harpy character concept Alaris, 3) passed the Frank Lloyd Wright sketchbook to [livejournal.com profile] susandeer for the next entry in the 'What Happens Next' kangaroo-lady sequence, 4) Talked to Mr. Wooten at the LittlePaw Graphics table about the commission that I paid for years ago from Terrie Smith, and basically gave a time limit on its completion, Talked to [livejournal.com profile] cuprohastes at the table of Jim Groat for a bit, 5) got a pair of little engraved shotglasses, mine with a hoofprint and one for Cupro with a dragon-profile, 6) Arranged for DarkNatasha to do a sketch today in the Sorien book, and 7) Bought a plush anteater. That last was because I had to. :)

The day went well after that, despite my legs hurting like blazes from the walking (I took breaks, no sweat). I went through the art show with [livejournal.com profile] sirocco_sahara and Steve Stackhouse, whom with Lou make up the people in my room- Once again my Vixen pic by Dark Natasha is up for auction as a print- I are famous!

Later, I got together with Cupro, Bombur, [livejournal.com profile] jalendragon, and Flynn for dinner- we ended up at the pricy little bar/resturant- Business casual in the resturant area, so we ended up in the bar... Ooo. I want resturants like THIS in the Twin Cities! We sat in soft leather lounge furniture, and had expensive-but-very-good food- Me and Cupro had the Sirloin sandwiches, Bom had the barbecue shrimp, and Jalena and Flynn had... Gah. I can't recall other than they had sandwiches...

Thereafter, we ended up at Kage's Story Hour, which ran TWO hours and was very enjoyable. And he didn't end on a melancholy point this time! I had to run off at that point to see if Vicky had called so I could pick up the sketchbook- she had, and I retrieved it posthaste.

On the way back to my room I finally ran into BustyBunny, chatting briefly before I headed back to the room; It was 10:30, and I was finally running down after having started the day at 7:30 or so.

But the day was not QUITE done- As I chatted with Steve and Sirocco and prepped for bed, [livejournal.com profile] hunterdpanther showed up at my doorstep with Pat and Ferin to say hi, and announce his arrival- We chatted, and he bestowed upon us candy unicorn-horns. :) Look out- he has dark-chocolate covered Espresso Beans...
