Journal Entry

Dave Kirtley posts his Balticon

May 29th 2003 at 1:27 am

Dave Kirtley posts his Balticon Con report. My favorite paragraph:

…I packed up and headed over to the bus station, which is always a treat. A gentleman wandering around at the corner kindly offered to relieve me of any money I might not want to lug around. He also cooed endearments such as “pussy” and “faggot,” and graciously offered to give me a complimentary ass-stomping. Unfortunately, I had a bus to catch, so I was forced to decline.

Paul Melko also has a con report up at his journal.

He didn’t even mention how much he’d gone over ‘Toby-cartrip-quota,’ even after the 3.5 hour traffic delay in Maryland…
