random con articles

San Diego con articles from The Hollywood Reporter, Sign On San Diego, and The Leaky Cauldron.

Speaking of the Leaky Cauldron, I bought my copy of the new Harry Potter book yesterday, from the B. Dalton’s in Horton Plaza. I’ll start reading it on the plane tomorrow. Or maybe I’ll start tonight, if I can’t sleep.

I just did most of my packing, so I’ll be ready to head off to the airport early tomorrow. I have a fairly full duffel bag of con stuff, both freebies and stuff I bought. (I made up for buying nothing Friday or Saturday by buying a bunch of stuff today.)

My only news is that my feet hurt. I’m staying in a hotel that’s a bit further away from the convention center than usual, so that’s a factor. Also, I’m not as young and spry as I used to be. But I haven’t actually collapsed yet, so that’s good.

Strangely, I didn’t buy anything at the convention on Friday or Saturday. (I did pick up a few things on Thursday, and on Wednesday night.) Today’s the last day, so if I’m going to go on any kind of buying spree, it’ll have to be today. Also, strangely, I haven’t bought a single (traditional) comic book. I picked up some trade paperbacks, but no standard 32-page comics. The fact that I have about 200 comics in my “to be read” pile at home is probably a factor here.
