SOE Fan Faire 2008
The Fan Faire Strikes Back
Ahhhh…Vegas makes me do that. Let loose with a tasty and altogether yummy exhalation of breath with the reminiscence of a Vegas well done.
Once again little monkeys, the fan faire has come and gone. New friends were found, old friends newly met, old friends reacquainted, many cards passed out, and tye-dyes worn and distributed. Yet to truly give a decent accounting we must part the veil and stretch ourselves back into the distant reaches of…er…bout three months ago.
The conversation between my bruthah from der uthah muthah:
“Duder! You excited about your trip?” (he was going to parts away and semi-known with fam in tow)
“I can’t wait for Vegas man.”
And that had been it for months. Mental preparation for crazy lack of sleep and excessive drinking and mass geek outs till dawn came again over that sere (that’s for you, and you know who you are!) landscape and blinded our geek filled eyes.
This year was the year we would head to Vegas for the “full Monty” as they say. We were going to take our geek fest to the limit of common geek decency and then take it a little bit further. For those of you that have perused my odd narratives before, specifically the previous Fan Faire, you remember that we didn’t get into Vegas last year till late Friday evening. This year we weren’t going to loose out on anything Fan Faireish, so the plan was leave at eight in the morning and be there and be square. So as the time ticked ever closer, ever closer, the fever pitch of our geek fest rose and rose. My cosmic broskotomie tried to keep it under control, as he is a fairly controlled kind of guy, so of course me being me I had to unleash the freak out whenever around him and whenever possible. And then the wait was over.
