Day two is over. A lot more panels by “The Hackers” and I was intrigued to see the people usually associated in the “Hacker” and IT panels were also on some of the other science panels.

Also ran into a few old friends of mine, one of who was actually on a panel much to my surprise.

Then there was the panel about “Play Video Games for a Living” which Dave should have been a part of. There was only one guy leading this lecture and he was basically preaching to a bunch of kids who worshipped him for his job. He was quite arogent and had very little knowledge of the gaming industry on Long Island (as he was from San Francisco)… At least Dave worked as a tester here on LI!!!!!

Lots of great costumes, Lots of Medieval stuff, Some Trekkie types, and some people who just should NOT have been wearing what they were wearing.

Tomorrow morning is an early start to catch the Geocaching panel. Hopefully I’ll get to meet some of the Geocachers I’ve come to recognise from the geocaching.com web site.

Day one is over… It was a good day. We wandered the dealers room for a bit, I picked up a con T-Shirt which I do every year…Thats kind of my souvenier of the convention. We met up with a bunch of our friends and saw some films and discussion panels. Finally saw Jason vs. Freddy… Not a bad day…

Tomorrow should be cool! I’ll be dressing up in my medieval garb. Should be a lot of fun. I’m going to try to get a ton of pictures too.

Well, It’s 3 AM and I have to be up again at 8, so ttfn!

It’s the beginning of ICON weekend. An annual weekend of non-stop geekery and fun 😉 I’ll try to post but if not, you can hear from me on Monday!

You know it’s just my luck! I wasn’t thinking this morning when I got to work and parked underneath the lights. You know, the one where ALL the birds in nassau county like to come and perch on! So I had a nice covering of bird shit all over the hood and windshield of my car…. Yes, the car that was completely detailed just 3 days before…ARGH! lol Tried just hosing it off but that left small circle marks all over the hood. I wound up having to bust out the car-wash kit and actually clean the hood!

Looks good now though 🙂

Finally got my car back! YAY! Looks good. The door rubbed against the fender after the work was done, so it had to be adjusted. I’ll bring the car in during the week and get that touched up but otherwise, it looks good as new!!!
