That’s right, the sweet and oh-so-innocent-looking DragonDon that you know has, in his possession, some Cocaine.  Lemme tell ya, it tastes great!  I had heard all kinds of stories about how bad it was from Jason Scott.  When they were giving out free samples from the sponsor, I grabbed not one, but two!  I figured I just had to try it after all the talk and ‘adult warnings’ but after trying it, now I have to find a way to get some more :)

I wisely decided NOT to declare to the border guards I was bringing back some Cocaine.  You know, it’s easier to keep it simple and well, if they searched, I’d do my best to explain that I simply got it for free and that there was no harm in trying.  Hell, I’m not selling!

So, I am on a quest to find a local supplier.  Failing that, I’ll be doing some importing from across the border….along with our missing Cherry Coke!  Dammit, Cocke…bring it back!

Sunday was pretty boring, relatively speaking of course.

Breakfast was annoyingly late.  Went there with Fireshadow(I think that’s his nick…Jacob) and we both ordered at the same time.  He got his full order and I only got my toast.  By the time I got the bulk of my food, Jacob was done his and of course,  my toast was cold.  Yeah….not a big tip left then.  Heard later that they had run out of pretty much everything breakfast-related and some lunch stuff was getting scarce.

There was the wind-down discussion and prize handing out from the Demoparty votes.

I grabbed a bunch of free stuff, two cans of Cocaine (one for me to try, the other to torture some poor unsuspecting friend…), a couple of books from No Starch Press.

We finally got on the road about 3pm and made it back about 7:45ish.

The drive back was not too bad.  I was at the back of the van and I find that most people don’t project their voice enough for me to hear, add in  pair of 6×9’s playing some music and it was quite the strain to hear Myrcurial at the front.  Ah well, we all shared stories, good and bad, and it was a pleasant trip all around.  Would definitely do it again.

Thanks all!

Well, woke again after about 6ish number of sleep hours. Damn good number of parties last night. One hotel room had air so thick you could cut it and there were people willingly being handcuffed, still clothed, and then subsequentially breaking out of them. A couple of girls were in bikinis and there was enough alcohol to give a liqour store a run for it’s money.

Annoyingly I woke up with a headache and I wasn’t even drinking. Damn weather change/ac on to high right over me.

Breakfast was at the little diner behind the hotel. $2.99 for 2 eggs, toast and potatoes. Ben told me the coffee was good. He lied. Took me 4 creamers (1/2&1/2s) and 3 spoonsish of sugar to make it palletable. The rest was not bad.

First speaker. Cyberwar. Embedded machines, next gen bulk warefare to be concern. Basically the speech was a pitch for packetwars.com

Next speakers, NeonRain &Tottenkoff. Neurohacking. There is an ekg video game. OpenEEG project. More details on tottenkoff.com

Notes are terse, damn headache was killing me. Not only that, it seems that I didn’t save the notes from Tiffany’s talk. Damn.

Back to the hotel room to sleep off this pain. I wouldn’t complain if I had been drinking but damn….this sinus/weather crap sucks. After lying down for about 30mins I got up, walked down to CVS, bought some advill type stuff, downed 3 and came back to rest some. After another 30, got up and wandered around and landed up at the Notacon Radio.

Had a good and funny session involving Harmony, CP, Ken West and eventually Jimmy Chan. After many references to alcohol, Temagmi, sex and zombies, we headed out for food.

After a good Bo-Mans Burger at the Winking Lizard, we headed back to the radio. It was being run by the Cliff Claven of Cleveland. Didn’t stay long there, made an excuse to hit another talk that started at 6pm.

Watched Mycurial’s talk, and killed some time with Ophelia before the BlockParty.

The BlockParty was awesome, cool demo compos and whenit finally ended at 3ish. We headed up to the 622 party, which was just being shut down as we arrived. After wandering around for a bit, loosing Ophelia I was getting a little bored. I was doing a quick sweep for here when I ran into Sidepocket.

Sidepocket was leaving as his plane was flying out early and was supposed to meet Ophelia to give her her stuff. I said I’ll handle so he can leave. After 15 more mins of searching, I just told people that if they saw her to let them know I had her stuff. About 30 mins after I crashed, Ophelia knocked on our door @ 4am. Handed her her stuff and went back to bed
