I don't think there was any better way to end the amazing five days I had at this year's con than singing the BSB hit "I Want it That Way" horribly, with random strangers on the way to Ballroom 20 just before sitting down to the lineup of Being Human, Torchwood, and "Once More with Feeling" -the Buffy musical episode -but that's exactly what happened!

I don't think I have ever had such a good time talking with people I had just met and making some nice connections with artists, writers, and singers. This year's 40th comic con was definitely the best I have been to so far. Amazing...

All I could remember from the drive back was the entire Ballroom 20 crowd singing "Walk Through the Fire" from that last event. I swear I freakin cried inside leaving that parking lot. I'm gonna miss those long, hot, lines for Hall H, taking two trolley lines just to get to the convention and finding a place to sleep that's not creeping with hick townspeople. All the screaming. All the costumed happy people. All the 5 dollar hotdogs, and 3 dollar waters...All the missed chances for the best free stuff and signings.

--well, we'll always have next year.
