Ranging Mom - April 24th, 2007

I enjoyed my time at the Bookcrossing Convention, as everyone says- it is great to put together names and faces. I attended everything, even delaying my drive home as I didn't want to miss anything. That meant staying overnight as I didn't want to be driving all night, but my choice of a Knight's Inn wasn't a good one. My family would argue it was a typical one, however. This place I will bet was a Travelodge built in the 1970s. Too bad no one saw fit to keep maintaining it, from the barely closing door to the oddly lumpy floor the place screamed neglect. But the bed was clean (I carefully checked) and the cost was low so I crashed there overnight then finished my driving the next day.

I knew the convention would be fun and even though I was by myself I figured I could still make friends. The bookcrossers there did not disappoint. From talking books to talking pet, work to play, and strange trivia in between! there were always friends to be found. My crashing into a group was never rebuffed, for which I thank them all. A special thank you to my roommate, tchouli, for the same reasons and more.

I still need to discover a 'gimmick' or some way of becoming a bit more memorable. I was a bit saddened that Sonora had forgotten me to the point that I hadn't even the honor of introducing her on Sunday as I had been asked (and prepared) to do. I shall work on developing my quirk before I attend another convention, LOL.
