View From the Bushes

Well I finally got the Conduit pictures whipped into shape, so mostly today's blog will just be several pictures and some captions. First we have the only good picture of me as I stand like a general in the Dealer's room marshalling my lackeys:

Ross gazing like Hannibal down from the southern slopes of the Alps towards Rome.

My humble table/booth showing my acceptance of all operating systems. On the left is a Windows laptop on the right is a Apple laptop and sitting in back is a Linux laptop which of course is running the whole show. In the lower right corner you can see the giant antenna my hardware guy brought in to try and get the crappy wireless to work:

The greatest display of artistic arrangement since Michelangelo painted the Sistine.

In the background we see me on the phone with the doctor explaining how my friend Bernard has been sticking his hands in the microwave in a misguided attempt to acquire superpowers:

Bernard looking more deformed then usual.

The world famous "Cthulhu Bob" of my favorite local gaming store Hastur's Hobbies, the game store whose name must not be spoken:

Cthulhu Bob contemplating the best way to create widespread insanity

The guest of Honor, Harry Turtledove (who writes some killer alternate history stuff) standing next to Bernard who has chosen to hide his hideously misshapen hands:

Harry Turtledove and the suggestion of grotesque green hands.

A group of gamers laughing hysterically at the idea of paying for PDF's, even dynamically generated ones...

Potential customers before I let it slip that I didn't know what AC stood for.

An unidentified con-goer asking me if I would accept her child in lieu of the $34 annual subscription fee. Fortunately for the child it wouldn't fit in my cash box, so I turned her down:

A halfling monk in full battle gear.

A full dump of all the pictures can be found here, and don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Carpe Diem Quam Minimum Credula Postero,
