Remember all the junk I told you about in the bag? Well today was the day to pour through a lot of that stuff. We started by doing the fishing quest which starts you at Brady Games and gives you a small burlap bag and a map. You’re instructed to go through the convention center to various other booths and get 5 lures and then to come back for a sort of raffle prize. It was crazy how many people ended up doing this, the lines were so freaking long. They were the longest lines I stood in all convention but they still went by fairly quickly, no longer than 30 minutes max and some we went through in under 5 minutes. We got all the lures, but only Ashley and Jon actually went to the raffle later. I saw the line for it and it had to be as long as all 4 halls combined.

Unlike years past where once the doors are flung open people’s vision is set upon the new area of greatness, they very carefully hid what was to be unveiled. The program as well wasn’t being handed out until after the opening ceremony. It was incredible that after 4 years they got it right! Read the rest of this entry

We set out using the route TomTom gave us and it was a taxing ride. After cutting over to the 40 in Amarillo there was non-stop crazy rain until about the border of New Mexico. My 3 wiper settings went from sprinkle to crazy to shut your eyes because you’ll see about as well. Incredibly, I navigated through that mess. Read the rest of this entry
