Portus!

I just got back from Portus today. This was my fourth HP con (fifth if you count Wrockstock, which... I don't), and it was a very different experience from the other three.

This was mostly because I took my baby with me: In the past, going to cons has been an experience of completely immersing myself in fandom for several days, but I couldn't do that this time. Having BG with me meant that I was a mom first and a fandomer second, and that changed the experience for me in an interesting way. I was always watching the clock or waiting for Mr. Grant to call me to say BG was hungry again. I had to be ready to leave a panel or an event at a moment's notice, and many things I could only attend half of. (And wouldn't you know this would be the weekend that BG would decide he didn't want a bottle? If it wasn't The Boobie, he was Not Interested. And alas, Mr. Grant does not possess said Boobie.)

So I experienced the con in bits and pieces. )

I'm driving to Dallas tomorrow for Portus, OMG!! I should arrive in the early afternoon, and if BG is cooperative will wander around to look for anyone I know. Who else is going to be there Wednesday?

I am putting the finishing touches on costumes for me and BG today. We'll be in school robes one day (I've decided he's a Gryffindor, while I'm a Ravenclaw), and we'll be dressed as Tonks and Teddy another day. Please come and say hello if you see us! Mr. Grant has graciously offered to come up to Dallas on Thursday night and will be doing some babysitting, so that will free me up to do more con stuff than I had originally thought I might be able to do. Yay!

Speaking of con stuff, there will be an informal Harry/Draco meet-up on Thursday afternoon at 4:00. We will be meeting in the Tower Lobby and then will find a place to go sit, probably one of the nearby cafes or bars. I've got H/D buttons to hand out, so stop by to pick one up. I have about 100 of them, so if you can't make the meetup, just ask me for one when you see me. I'll be the one breastfeeding in the back of the slash panels. ;-)

Eee, see you guys soon!

Anyone know if one has been planned? Or a general slash meetup, for that matter?

Portus!

I'm probably getting a little bit ahead of myself here, but I registered for Portus! So yes, I'm assuming I will still be in the HP fandom 16 months from now. :-D

And on another topic altogether: High School Musical: The Ice Tour is hitting the road next spring. And here I thought it was weird that they were planning a sequel. This quote from the sequel summary kills me: "The producer, Bill Borden, has confirmed that Troy will kiss Gabriella and that there will be a musical number that occurs at the swimming pool." o_0
