I'm about a week and a half late. I blame plague. But here we go: write up, photos, and even video!
Farpoint 2008: February 15-17, 2008 in Hunt Valley, MDIf there is some extra bitter snark stuck in here, I'm sorry. I can't be bothered to edit at this point in time. Pictures linked within text, or you can use the links at the bottom.
Friday, February 15, 2008Got up at 5:00am. Showered, dressed, packed up the rest of the stuff in the Jepp and headed to
smashedrecords'. After a last minute scramble for things, we headed out at about 7:30am. It took us about 7 hours to get to Hunt Valley, which included two rest stops - one of which was for gas - and a third random stop in search of Wolfgang Puck sandwiches (don't ask). Once we got to Hunt Valley, we decided to stop at Wegman's before the hotel so we could get some last minute items. Checked in at the hotel and found out we were on the 3rd floor this time (ugh!), but once again we some how parked in the the lot that was closest to where we needed to be. Ha!
( registration, art show, bar hijinx! )Saturday, February 16, 2008I'm not even going to talk about a certain someone snoring because... well, actually, it didn't bother me enough to completely disrupt my sleep schedule. So, yeah. Woke up at about 6am, though. Rearranged my luggage, got out what I was going to wear today and grabbed a quick shower. Putzed around until about 9am before I decided to eat and get dressed in the Hogwarts gear for the day.
( Erin Grey, Marina Sirtis, James Callis, masquerade )Sunday, February 17, 2008Had a good night's sleep because uhm... the person who snored relocated. Woke up at 8:00am.
smashedrecords and I got dressed and headed down to checkout the art auction. It turned out none of my stuff was even in the auction.
Atene had only gotten the one bid, so it sold for less than I wanted, which was mildly disappointing, mostly because the whole pricing sheet thing was not explained to me properly. On the plus side,
smashedrecords won a piece of pottery with Elvish on it.
