Here's the FEDCON forum for this con.

http://fedconusa.com/community/index.php

Surely we tuckersibs can add a bit o' content? It's a bit thin. HOwever, it *does* have one of those elusive baby photos.

I think it hilarious how much older CT looks now all of a sudden. It's having that first kid.

Lee and I look at pictures of ourselves from July 2005, and though I'm as big as a house, I have this carefree, unlined visage that liked to sleep in many many hours as often as possible.

Now, having had a minor run-in with the old-age-ice-cream-truck (nighttime breastfeeding, diaper changing, shushing, etc) and having not had a non-negotiated sleep-in since this picture ^^ was taken, Lee and I both look about five years older than our non-baby friends.

It's hardly that we're ancient. It's just weird to go along, aging at a normal human rate, and then BAM! suddenly it's 2007 and you're up to your ears in playdoh and 6:40 am wakenings are considered a "sleep-in" and those pillow groves don't wear off your face as quick in the morning, and then you realise they are permanent pillow grooves.

We actually both like it. Lee doesn't get ID'ed quite as much anymore. :D ;)
He gets called Journey-Boy a lot less at work. And I no longer torment him with making pictures like this one:

and you realise that by comparison to the other freaky freaks at the freak mecca, you actually look kind of, um, normal.


Okay, I just have to.... "Ahem"

Gold 3-day convention pass with premium seating: $$$(insert obscenely high sum here)
Dinner with your favorite actors: $$$
Klingon forehead, spirit gum, flesh powder, and authetic Klingon costume: $$$

Having your fellow freaks look on with utter jealousy: Priceless

*sigh* I'll be one one the jealous fellow freaks. Texas is just waaay too far-- and it's during recital season. But I'll live vicariously through all of you!

And I had to share with my tuckersibs. There is a FEDCON related bit of stuff at the very end that I put in special for you guys. ;D

(I'm the one in the cowboy hat).

(and yes: that IS Darth Vader playing the violin. You know you want to click it.)

Oh my! But it was all worth it, just to hear your voice: "I'm going to Dallas Fort Worth for a Star Trek Convention!" You sound exactly like you, all zany . . . and I've never heard your voice before! Weird. Oh wait, yes I have, but still . . . EXACTLY!

But, JustT, Are YOU gonna come to Dallas Fort Worth for a Star Trek convention????


I love how the poor Texans kind of pause and then laugh almost with relief that I've stopped yelling at them now, and no gun appeared and I'm just some harmless Trekkie freak. :lol:
