Reentry sucks!

Last weekend was my annual pilgrimage, wherein crazed fans from a surprising number of countries converge on Beautiful Downtown Burbank to celebrate Scaperdom. This was supposed to be the last Farscape convention, what with the show ending production a couple of years ago and the organizers claiming to lose money on the deal. (Which may or may not be true; do they lose money or do they just not make enough to satisfy them? Either one would be fair. I'd just like to know.)

Anyway, since it was to be the last con *snif*, quote a few attendees from prior years made the effort to attend, as did some old and new fans who hadn't yet been Burbanked. The result was that we had a bigger crowd than in recent times. And a good time was had by all; in four days I never managed to turn on the room's widescreen TV or crack open my laptop. Heck, aside from sleeping (which I did little) and showering (which I did enough of, to the great relief of those around me), I spent all my time amid Scapers.

Which made the return to Real Life a rocky one, you may imagine. And the thought that I won't have that experience for whole 'nother year has me bugged. Good thing our Vegas trip is only a month off...
