Con in San Antonio was absolutely fantastic. Highlights:
-Staying up until at least six AM every night, which caused me to miss both breakfast and lunch Saturday but was totally worth it
-Watching Texas Jeopardy
-Catch Phrase, snakes and soy sauce (don't ask) in Hathor's room
-Playing Pyramid with Treesong, Jangler, Panther, Artistry, Cramerica and Verve, with categories like "directions for iambic ebonics" and "things the Abominable Rain Man might say"
-Doing the Extravaganza with Wrybosh, Cramerica and QED, all of whom left me in the dust solving-ability-wise but somehow managed to make me feel included nevertheless
-Encore, which is basically combat-singing; the only songs I could come up with for the word "cowboy" were "Gay Cowboy" and "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other," which cracked everyone up
-Being the subject of a group-written flat at about six AM
-The vowel gun- seriously, how much does Dart rock?
It was my first time in the South, or at least the first time I can remember (I think I went to Austin when I was a month old). I went to a steakhouse not once but twice, both times only because a group of awesome people were going. The second time, I took Link with me because Mom and Bill wanted some time alone, and ended up staying for a really, really long time. Fortunately, he was good, and it seemed to earn me back some points from earlier in the weekend when I wanted to participate in the official games instead of watch the baby.
The hidden puzzle involved Morse code and the Texas state motto, and was solved roughly 45 minutes after being made available to the con. I think the hidden puzzles need to be harder. It's tough to hide puzzles from this group, though.
Like at IJA, I saw a lot of people I haven't seen in a while, got to know some people better, and met some new people. Being a young female in a room full of geeks was awfully nice for my ego :P
We left on Monday evening. I decided on the way back, sparked by a late-night discussion, that sometimes it's better to forgive people even when they don't deserve to be forgiven. We're not going to be best friends again or anything, but there's no point in holding a grudge when it won't change anything, which at this point it won't.

prodigal7512 gave me the Pintsize sketch today! It is fabulously wonderful. Apparently Jeph said that no one has ever asked for that before- score! I'll post a pic as soon as I get around to taking one.
