blaugh . Also, I got to see Kevin Smith speak and do a Q&A. Unfortunately I couldn't get his autograph since the line ended up being way too long
sad . There was a bit of a fiasco during the event, where lots of people couldn't get in on Saturday. Luckily I got my badge on Friday
blaugh . But, on Saturday the lines for the Exhibit hall were way too long. So, I ended up playing in the Star Wars Miniatures game league. Which was too much fun and I ended up with a cool prize
