Here's the website, so no one thinks I'm making this up. XD (This was Colassalcon 8, fyi for when they change the website to reflect the next con.)
The con was to run from Thursday to Sunday.
The plan was that SheikahChica and I would buy weekend passes and go on Friday and Saturday afternoon to evening, with Sheikah driving (because I'm afraid of steering wheels and still don't have a license.)
On the way to my place on Friday, Sheikah rear-ended someone and trashed the front of her car. No one was seriously hurt, but she got burns on her arms from the airbag and it was also damned scary all round. (On a bright note, she was going to put her slave Leia cosplay on at my house, which meant she wasn't wearing it while standing next to a crashed car on the highway.)
Well, I was hardly going without my poor elf (and not just because I don't drive) and she rather obviously was no longer up to it, so Friday was out. There was a strong likelihood that Saturday was out too-- how would you guys feel about driving after that?
That evening, one of our cats that had been missing for several months turned up on the south end of the property, and all that that entails.
Then, Invid said that he would be willing to go to SheikahChica's house (where we had never been before and which is an hour away from ours, btw, and getting to Colassalcon as well made for a two hour trip) and drive us to the convention for Saturday. (Thanks, big bro!) So I called her the next morning to see how she felt about doing that when she got out of work.
Happily, she was game for it, and we stayed at the con until midnight on Saturday and had a great time. (And she did dress as Slave Leia, and everyone loved her and wanted her picture.)
Then on Sunday I slept all day because I was totally wrung out. XD
Which is why the comics are being pushed to Wednesday.
Ironically, we didn't actually go to any events at the con-- we just walked around basking in the atmosphere and enjoying the people!
