I came, I saw, I choked to death in the apocalyptic-levels of forest-fire smoke. Awesome people were hung-with, I met old friends for the first time, spent time with three-thirds of a brain, created an epic photobomb when I didn’t mean to, and basically had a blast. All while maintaining the utmost professionalism, of course.
I present to you my limited collection of pictures (as I am awful at stopping the party to pull out my phone):

Here’s an extremely blurry picture of the Alfies (an award created and distributed and voted upon by GRRM, which you’ve probably heard the run down on by now):

And the epic photobomb. Which I actually did not mean to do. Obviously it is the best picture take of me during the con:

Others took much less–ahem–insane pictures of me as well, here’s an example. Note lack of crazy groundhog face:

Anywho, there’s my drama-free roundup. Informative and controversial, I know.
