The main lobby in front of the dealer's room was lined with tables.  Above
one of the tables was one of the hotel's paintings.  Taped to the wall next
to the painting was a hand-written sign, "This is an ugly painting".  Later,
another hand-written sign was placed above the first piece of paper which
said, "This is an understatement".  :)

Well. . .I wrote in permanent ink on some of the white boards at AWA. ..

Studio Ironcat handed out free issues of their new project "Cutie Honey".
If you like naked bodies, this one's got a lot of them.  They aren't my
particular cup of tea.

Did you see Steve there?
 

The cosplay had lots of Ruroni Kenshin characters, making me glad I'd just
seen the anime.  Among the other entrants was a Parappa the Rappa skit, Kuno
and the Men in Black, a variation of Monty Python's dead parrot sketch, this
one involving a dead Klingon, and a Final Fantasy VII skit.  I don't know
FF7, but the audience seemed to like it.

An experience you can live without.
 

Lara and I watched the Tekken 3 contest, then wandered around the con some
more. 

Yo quiero tekken trace.

We lay on a couch together and watched the people go by.  One man was having
amazing success finding Lara Croft-proportioned women and persuading them to
pose on a couch for him while he snapped some pictures.  Every time he got
them posed, other fanboys would come by and snap their own set of pictures.
Even Steven Bennett wandered by and posed with two of the women.

I guess you did. . ..

Oh BTW, AWA voted against letting Steve design the badges for this year.

(Whew)
