Obligatory Name-Dropping P-Con Post - 2009 edition

Preparing for P-con this year was a much different experience than last year. Last year was my first time and I was presenting. To say that this year's preps were more low-key would be an understatement.

The flight down was uneventful, and I was happily surprised to run into lupabitch and teriel near baggage claim. They were rushed and barely had time to wave before moving on, but we caught up with each other waiting for the hotel shuttle and had a nice chat.

I've only been to the San Jose Doubletree the one time before, so I was startled by how familiar it looked as the van drove up. All of the sudden I felt like we'd only left a week ago; walking into the lobby almost felt like a homecoming. My teacher and her husband showed up a few minutes later, and there were hugs and greetings all around. She stood in the registration line with me for a while, but was still exhausted from their drive down, so we agreed to meet up later.
