Tomorrow’s Mystery

After the amazing Smallville panel with Michael Rosenbaum, jaesha, oanimation, and I were determined to get as early as possible to the queue for the panel with James and Michael. Frankly, that was the panel I’d been waiting for the entire weekend. When oanimation first told me about this panel, before D*C, I literally squeed her ear off! I was so excited! Despite having gone to bed late the night before, we were up early (by Dragon*Con standards) and claiming a spot at the front of the line, later on taking turns getting properly ready for the day. It was absolutely wonderful having the panels take place in the same hotel where we were staying! Brilliant!

The first panel of the day was Torchwood with Anthony Lewis, Gareth David Lloyd, and James. Frankly, I don’t watch the show. I tried when it premiered here in the U.S. but I just couldn’t get into it. I wasn’t interested in the panel, but I realized something the night before. I paid a lot to go to a party featuring James and this dude from TW. I should at least find out what he looks like. Plus, the panel took place in our own hotel, meaning very little walking was needed. Always a good thing at a con.

I’d been a little wishy-washy about attending Dragon*Con this year. Last year was my first, and though I thought it was okay, I wasn’t sure I would give it another try. Well, I’m SO happy that I did! I had a complete blast and I’m so sad it’s over. It’s been a while since I felt genuine sadness that a con was over. In recent times, it’s mostly been a relief, and probably because I worked those cons. Dragon*Con went by too fast and I really miss all my friends. I certainly enjoyed the con more this year versus last year, mainly because I did much more this time.

I had, as usual, absolutely wonderful roomies: seapea, jaesha, oanimation, and mad_brilliant_. Thank you mad_brilliant_ for having the foresight to book in advance! Also, all their all-night efforts certainly paid off, and I’m so incredibly thankful to them for that.

It was awesome seeing angstchic, eyesthatslay, musing_mia, psubrat, zoonut, vampgaia, thefangirl, lightdependent, jameslovin1, ladyanne04, rock_room, soulmate815, and zeta0497. I hope I’m not forgetting anyone… Likewise, I really missed not seeing sandy_s.

Over the weekend I took TONS of photos of all the panels I attended. I’m not kidding when I say tons, either. I definitely went overboard and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to get through all of the photos. Especially since I have to send my computer in for repair this week and oh yeah… that little thing called school (and let’s not even mention that I’m nowhere near settled into my new location). I’ll try my best, though, and hopefully I’ll be able to get out as many photos as possible.

In case it wasn’t obvious yet, Midnight Illusions is now Tomorrow’s Mystery. Why? Eh, I needed a change. What’s Tomorrow’s Mystery? I guess we’ll see.

I’ve been back-posting a few con reports from way back in the day (2004), when I first started attending some cons/events, as well as some photos from back then… Those photos will only be available through the blog and not the main Gallery. The quality of those photos is pretty craptastic, so I’m limiting where they can be viewed! The Gallery is reserved for… nicer photos. Hopefully, you’ll see future con reports up here as well. I’ve had to bow out of going to Comic Con due to RL preoccupations (and you have no idea how much that pains me), but I’m booked for Dragon*Con, so yay!

Anyway, in case you had Midnight Illusions bookmarked, please update it to reflect the new site! Thank you.

I accidentally killed the photo gallery on this site. Teaches me to not futz around with web stuff while watching an awesome Lakers game. Hee. Anyway, I’ll probably get the gallery back up tomorrow. Tonight, must celebrate the Lakers’ 30-point win! Huzzah!!!
