quidditchgrrlI'm finally up after the Las Vegas Hangover of DOOM. The entire time I was out there, I tried to work on East Coast time, but when I got back here, *thunk*
We left LV a little late, and Honeybunch was nice enough to drive up to meet me at the hotel for some...alone time. :>
Oh, god, I picked the WORST hotel - it was clean, but scary. We drove back last night, risking death on the road rather than listening to the other residents of the hotel through the walls. :-S
I was bursting with things to say about Lumos, but now I feel like I'd just be reiterating what everyone else is saying, or boring the stuffing out of the rest of you.
But, in the interest of navel-gazing, a few observations:
A few random observations:
--Lettuce tastes awesome when it's regional. I was obsessed with having salad as often as possible.
--Las Vegas is like a huge playground - you're running around like crazy for a bit, jumping on everything you can, but then you're tired and want to go home
-- The Carnival World buffet at the Rio was all it was reported to be
--This was the first conference that I stayed with other fandomers (*hugs![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chickadilly, fyrelily, le_calamar_geant, and poconell*) and I only ended up feeling emotionally drained once
--Emotional drainage sucks most when the person siphoning off your energy is rather pleased about it, and you have to leave your friends because you want to tear the other person's face off
--People are strange, and I tend to have the expectation (still! I know!) that people who sit in front of computers every day will all have some social skills
--There IS more to the fandom meta than slash versus het
--I love Ron
Long story short, I came, I saw, I met 534656 new people, saw old friends, missed a few others. I hit the Strip everyday and had a wonderful time. A little bit of a fandom pick-me-up. Good times.
But, now I'm back to the reality of trying to move heavy furniture and a waterbed so we can have our carpets replaced. Then I have to go back to work *cries*
Oh, yeah - feel free to friend me, and I don't mind having my picture posted for all to see. I friend back unless you're a known psycho or an unknown quantity.
I'm going to be posting my pictures soon, so if you don't want your mug on ElJay, let me know.

That hotel spoiled me. I felt like I was slumming at the Sheridan in San Fran.
