Christina's Tote Bag Report - B&B con, San Diego CA 2010

I have received my con tote, which I ordered since I couldn’t go to the con (again) this year. And I’m all giddy about it, much to the consternation of my teenager. He’s old enough to understand that when Mom squees like that, nothing’s wrong. Unfortunately, he’s also reached the age at which he’s of the opinion that Mom shouldn’t squee at all. I told him to adjust.

The bag is so neat! There’s lots of yummy reading material (obviously the best part), a beautiful drawing of Vincent by Chandler (the other best part), brochures about San Diego, pencils engraved with “Haply I Think On Thee 2010 Con” (which will never be sharpened), a set of napkin-folding ideas that I can’t wait to play with, a message board with Vincent on it, a silk rose, a sprinkle bottle of kisses (hee), a little notebook, a pin with Vincent’s face (*sigh*), a bracelet, a fan, and a pin with Chan’s face on it. And at that last one, I cried.

I’m getting so much pleasure out of this; it helps the disappointment of missing the con. I fear I’ll never make it to a con, since it’s always the weekend after my birthday. I can’t do both, and if I do the con instead of my birthday with my Mom, I’ll get killed. *pout*

So when do those of us who were trapped elsewhere going to hear about what went on in San Diego? Dying to live vicariously, here...
