After Much Ado....

We arrive by 2:00pm after a looooong drive that started somewhere around 7:30 this morning. Rain 1/2 the way, cloudy the rest. 30 miles outside of Charlotte traffic slows to a crawl so we jump off at or near Concord (home of the Charlotte Motor Speedway and YES we did go by it - big!). Made it safely to downtown only to figure out there are a number of buildings we didn't remember and, there's a huge wine and dine street fair blocking some major streets, and we don't quite remember the name of the street the convention center is on and the GPS in the phone is kinda' upside down so we end up making a lot of wrong turns like we're dyslexic or something.......whew. However, we finally make it in the parking garage, Dylan jumps out of the car (with all the gear to go with Rorschach). I'm ready for a bathroom; he's ready to buy tickets and get started. So, after we buy tickets and he gets his costume arranged he's off to who knows where and I'm headed for the can....finally. Oh, and did I mention he didn't make it in the door of the convention center without at least 6 stops for posing for photographers, compliments, proposals, etc., etc.: No wonder this guy wears a costume. More to tell only after some food as I've found my appointed spot near the food and restrooms and away from just about everything else.
