Really do wish that I had more money, can only really afford to go to one big convention a year (though I do try to go along to my local one in Glasgow as it's not too far away). The worst thing about this event: When it's over... lol

Hahahahaha, I know this all too well. It takes easily over a week for me to get back to normal. I spend at least a week just thinking about it, and wishing I was back there. They always seem to be over way too fast.
Already planning the next one in my head. lol

Definitely suffering. I spent all weekend surrounded by my best friends and now they're all over the world again. Sucks!

I have to agree, after not going to one for many years...and despite only going for one day, I've realised just how much fun they are and will definitely start attending more again! It was great to see old faces, so thanks to those that took time to come and say hi!
They really are a blast!

I often wonder if it says something about my personality that all the people I get on best with are scattered around the country rather than on my doorstep lol [cant handle me in big doses haha ;) ] - but that's why I love these events, it's so awesome to be in an atmosphere where you know everyone is there for the same reason. At least time flies and Glasgow and EMS are just round the corner!

Nope, no blues, just the Crud...again...Chevron 7.9 in November is enough for me to look forward to...at least Michael Shanks will be worth a dose of the Crud this time.. 
Instead I'm looking forward to getting rid of this virus and planning my vacation to Vancouver...meeting up with a friend from SG-1 days and chillin around my favourite city in less than 5 weeks' time...:)

Last year i had a week of post con blues, this year maybe a day? But as a big X-files fan i'm kinda disappointed i only had enough time and money for Ms. Anderson, would've liked to have met more X-Files guest and X-Philes, but i could only spare 3 hours of my Saturday this year!
Hopefully The X-files has finally made its presents felt at this event and we can hope to see lots more X-files guest at future events!
