Gallifrey One report part 4: Saturday Late Night, Sunday. (See also part 1, part 2, part 3.)

( Late Saturday night, I went down to the foyer to see what was happening... )

We saw plenty of "usual suspects" during the convention. Michael Siladi from baycon was on hand, for example (left).

We ended up having breakfast with him and Alison (right). Not by appointment, it just turned out that we were all in the restaurant at the same time together.

We wouldn't ordinarily have all trooped down to the restaurant for breakfast at all -- that's why we'd purchased breakfast food on Friday -- but ( we really needed to make sure that Melissa got some food... )

Lynn and I made it back to the convention in the afternoon. ( This is when I found out that the article that I'd submitted to the program book didn't make it in... )

Maria didn't have a specific Doctor Who costume on Sunday. She wore a 1960s dress that could have been worn by a shopgirl working next to Martha in one of the episodes that has Martha working in a shop back then. (right)

One of the people I hadn't expected to see was aramina who agreed that it's an odd feeling to go to a convention where you don't have any particular responsibilities. (left)

Patty had a great time at the convention, having picked up an "Adipose" stuffed animal in the dealers room, and a knitted Dalek and a 20-foot scarf in the charity auction. She ran out of money before she ran out of interest.

At the end of the convention, we went for dinner at Cozymel's -- which won't surprise many people here who've noticed that's where I often end up after a rendezvous in the LAX area, either that or Dinah's -- before heading home. Lynn and Sarah both enjoyed Virgin Strawberry Margaritas. (right)

There was snow on the Grapevine, and we'd agreed to host Sarah for the Monday holiday. We put Sarah up on the couch (and let her borrow Lynn's laptop to catch up on her internet world) and decided we'd figure out what to do next in the morning. (left)
