It turns out that the con hotel has a couple of computers available for guests in a lobby alcove, so I don't have to depend on the wi-fi tonight. I only get the computer for half an hour though, so I'll have to type fast.
The morning started with a breakfast buffet (bagels, fruit, yogurt) courtesy of the con.
After that, there were panel sessions, with 2 panels running per session. In session #1, I went to Scenes on the Cutting Room Floor hosted by Jeanne Gold and K Hanna Korossy. We kind of went through episode by episode and talked about scenes that we wish had been included in the show.
I skipped session #2 to go shopping in the dealer room. It was pretty small. I was kind of disappointed that no one had Nevermore, but despite having bought out MediaWest in zines, I still found 3 new zines that I didn't have: Pack of Two, Rooftop Confessions 2, and Supernatural Special Gen Collection #1. I also bought a mini Impala license plate to put up in my cubicle at work (my cube is a small shrine to my fandoms, right down to my SG-1 desktop wallpaper).
There was a small lunch break (with lunch provided by the con), followed by more panel sessions. In session #3, I went to The I.Q. and Lifestyle of Geekboy hosted by Black_Wingedbird, Caricube, and Evesong. People were kind of suffering from a post lunch lethargy, but we still managed to talk about our favorite Smart!Sam moments.
In session #4, I hosted a Wee!chester panel. It took awhile to wake everybody up from the post lunch coma, but I got most people talking by the end.
In session #5, I went to How Far Did the Apples Fall from the Tree? hosted by MistWraith (a.k.a. Marcia Brin), Judy, and Wolve2110 to talk about which of the brothers was more like John.
I skipped session #6 with the intent to go to my room for a break, but as I walked past, I noticed there was no one in the TV room. The TV room here is kind of a do-it-yourself affair. If there's no one in the room already watching something, you can pick anything out of the box and play it. So, I rummaged through the box and was lucky enough to find the Paley Festival disc. I finally got to see it! Yay!
Dinner was a pizza party in the con suite with a custom made cake for dessert. It was decorated with a picture of the Impala and the con logo.
The pizza party ran until the competition vids started. There were also vids shown that people had submitted but weren't eligible for voting. Some of the ineligible vids were way better than the eligible ones, which made voting kind of tough.
It's now late and I have a 9:30 a.m. panel to host tomorrow, so I'm going to bed. But first, let me just say how much faster posting this entry went from the hotel computer. Those 3 paragraphs I posted yesterday took me almost an hour and a half with the 11 connection drops. This post has taken me about 20 minutes. Hopefully, I can snag the computer tomorrow night, too.

Sorry...found out from a panel at Media she and I have totally diffrent ideas of who the boys are and why they do things, but then I knew from her telling me that Star Wars was about Han Solo and nothing about the Skywalkers and Lucus got it all wrong making the second set of movies, that I knew she and I weren't on the same planet. ;-)
