There weren't very many panels on offer Monday morning, so the BF and I headed straight for the art room where I got to wait in line for 45 minutes to find out I hadn't won anything in the art auction. Bummer. Then we made one more pass through the dealer room to make one more purchase before we headed out.
And so did the rest of the Midwest. I've never seen so much traffic on the way home! We couldn't even stop for gas before we left because there were lines at every pump of every gas station between the con hotel and the highway. Then it poured down rain for most of the trip, which only made traffic back up more. Our 4 1/2 hour drive home took nearly 7 hours. It would've been longer, but I couldn't take the parking lot that was the Borman anymore and bailed onto an alternate route I found a couple of years ago for just that purpose. At least the clouds and rain kept the BF and I from broiling to death on our way home because the AC in my car is broken.
The final tally on this year's purchases:
17 zines in 5 fandoms (2 Man from UNCLE, 7 Professionals, 5 Supernatural, 2 Stargate SG-1, and 1 Magnificent 7)
2 T-shirts (1 each for Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis)
2 baseball hats (1 each for Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis)
5 TV tie-in books (all Professionals)
1 button
2 key-chains (Bodie and Doyle from The Professionals, and John and Rodney from Stargate Atlantis)
1 magnet (Jack and Ianto from Torchwood)
Not a bad haul.
And now my flist is at skip=omg, so I guess I know what I'll be doing for the rest of the day.
