it was a blast. Twiggy Con rocked, except that none of us slept (Shrain probably still has marks on her face from the seat on the Metro where she slept yesterday).
We have pictures, but I forgot to copy the ones from Shrain's camera to my computer before she left yesterday, and the ones on my camera didn't upload right. I'll try again tonight (camera at home today to get pics of the kids in costume)
Games played: Dead or Alive 4, Lego Star Wars II (which frustratingly stopped working on Sunday), Burnout (which we still don't understand but had fun with anyway), Attack!, NanoFictionary, Zendo, Nine Worlds, Fluxx, Duel of Ages, Settlers of Catan, Pirates, Risk: Godstorm.
Movies Watched: Hulk and Pretty in Pink
Food Eaten: cold cereal, grilled ham and cheese, Chicken Out, Five Guys, Dominos, nachos,Mexican pzza, porkchops with mushroom soup and stuffing and a sort of squash "pasta" (and a big ol' salad), a big hot dog, many cookies, Quiznos. No ice cream, which is both surprising and depressing.
Locales visited: a very winding and misdirect path to Arlington, featuring a great experience with the I-95/I-395/I-495/Old Keene Mill Rd interchange </sarcasm> and a brief view of many monuments and old town Alexandria, the garage under my office, the comic store (Gemm and I each spent waaaaay too much money), the National Aquarium (where Gemm was nearly arrested for brandishing a box cutter), the Old Post Office (where a discussion began about the virtues of the view finder versus the screen on my digital camera), The outside of the Capital Building (featuring music by a street musician who was a great showman and a pretty solid guitar player), the inside of a real live rocket, the lovely Metro, Borders, Target, Hollywood Video
A very busy weekend. It was awesome.
We're thinking the next would be good to have sprign breakish, to make it easier to get you college kids, but since it'll prolly be a different day than the local public schools, won't mean the young'uns will be around. Input from other TWG-Easterners?
