First Thing’s Off
I woke up today feeling lousy. Just stay awake for a few hours (From noon until about three o’clock) and then you’ll leave, but I had one more guard duty to do so to hell with it all.
At about 3pm, Oded and Karen arrived at my base (after some intense map reading) and picked me up. I had to show them a way to turn around otherwise we might have ended up on Phares but in the end we made it home, to my parents. We decided to skip Icon’s opening event and Tim Powers’ first lecture and eat dinner at home instead.
After a quick game of Gazillionaire (about one round), we left for Tel-Aviv around 20:00. We arrived just in time to be told that “No! There are no more tickets for Serenity! Now quit bothering me!” by the lovely and giving cashier. So we walked around a bit, looking at people gathering up their stands. We bothered the huge manga guys, browsed through some merchandise (The Cowboy Bebop playing cards are cool but are all cardboard :( ) and we talked to Yuda with his huge book shelves.
That pretty much summed up our first day at Icon 2005. Very fulfilling.
