End of the third day at Gen Con and everyone’s having a great time. Just got back from watching a few more films. Brenda and her niece Zhenn, who she brought along for shopping and sightseeing, are suprised how much they’re enjoying the convention. She was expecting to spend one day at the place, but has ended up coming down at least part of the time each day. Our other travelling companions, Brenda’s cousin Abe and his friend Tony, are still in the middle of a Magic tournament which will probably last until five in the morning. They’ve decided to spend the night at the convention center - should be quite an experience.

This evening was a dance at the Union Station Grand Ballroom where people are invited to wear costumes, which B was interested in of course. She and Zhenn spent Friday shopping around and piecing together outfits which they wore to the convention today and had some time with professional fantasy makeup person.

So all day today they’ve had people with cameras asking to take their pictures, and asking them to pose with the other convention goers in costume. Which has been the highlight of their trip so far - they love the attention.

Alex is really enjoying the trip also. He’s picked up a number of boxes of World of Warcraft booster packs, which we’ve been playing, and we spent over three hours today building gigantic weapons. I’ve got a large Buster-style sword and Alex has a war hammer larger than he is. So we’ve also had our share of pictures taken as we wandered the halls and booths.

Sunday’s the last day and after the doors close we’re going to be going to the Indianapolis fair. Drive home Monday and after a few days of sleep everything should be back to normal. :)
