Porch Punch at the Hyatt<\/h4>\n
After a brief visit to our room, we joined the others in the Marriott and walked to the Hyatt to try Josh and Angie’s famous Porch Punch. I have no idea what’s in it, but it’s great. Not too strong and not too sweet. It’s always fun listening to everyone kid with each other. Our DCF friends are a really great group of people.<\/p>\n

Walking Around<\/h4>\n
Karl and I popped into CVS for some supplies after leaving the Hyatt. Then we walked back through and into the Marriott and ran into three guys who all had said they were going to sleep. Go figure! lol<\/p>\n

We looked at costumes together and then walked over to the Hilton where we were invited to participate in an impromptu panel. Jojo went straight to the table and proceeded to lead the discussion. We learned about Jojo’s first DragonCon and all I’m going to say is wow. DragonCon attracts all types and I’m glad to say Karl and I have really only had one bad experience in our nine years of DragonCon and it was not as crazy as a lot of stories we hear.<\/p>\n
This impromptu panel was a lot of fun. We all shared how many years we’ve been attending DragonCon, swaped DragonCon stories, celebrity stories, commiserated over the Hilton removing the escalators, and discussed Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Game of Thrones. Good stuff.<\/p>\n
Hallway Karaoke with Adam<\/h4>\n
We were having such a good time socializing that we ended up hanging out with Adam and helping him test his portable Karaoke setup. It all fits in a large lunchbox looking bag. Adam and I took turns singing and singing together and it was a ton of fun. It was the first time I’ve done karaoke since taking voice lessons and while I was off on a few songs I could tell that I sang more comfortably.<\/p>\n
