**So I just got back from the Con.. phew! busy couple of days! Just finished uploading some pics ..need to get some from Teh_Lurv as well, but these should tide you over till then ConnectiCon 2010
** The con had it's ups and downs... one glaring mistake was they had serious issues with PayPal.. Corrine got screwed out of her pre-reg because of it and was forced to get up and pay full price on the first day instead of just waiting.  I can understand if it wasn't CtCon's fault, but really.. they should have compensated people (it wasn't only Corrine that had this problem either) a whole lot more.  Bad move.
     There were some cool costumes as always .. I think I ate a little better this year as Vivo (the hotel cafe) had better prices/menu options ..and we ordered out from better places.  We even walked to the Steam City Cafe (highly recommended) which was delicious
     Another thing about the food though.. Hartford sucks.  Seriously.  Everything's closed early and there's very little options for eateries.. but we did make do this year better than normal i think.
    I'm not sure why, but it seemed like there was a ton more rude attendees this year .. Example - we ordered chinese food and went down to the lobby to meet the delivery man... he arrived with orders for a couple people.  corrine and I walk over.. Some other dude is there getting his food. He (this other dude) turns to us and very blatantly says "Hey guys, F*** Off" ... No explanation. Nothing. Plain vulgarity.  Both of us were dumbfounded at his rudeness.
   Overall I think it was a good time. I saw a strange rock group called Planetoid who played 70's rock'n'roll .. there was a mediocre 'Geek Comdey Tour' I caught Saturday night.  I learned how to play Ticket-To-Ride which was a lot of fun.  Got to see my friend Beth who I hadn't seen since she went to China.  Met some genuinely friendly con-goers, and had great success with my Homestarrunner costume as well
