After DragonCon 2007

We are finally done with the mad dash and chaos-filled readiness for DragonCon marathon. The con is over and we had a really fun time, but wow are we tired. As always we packed way too much and didn't use all of it.

Purple jawa princess was a huge hit and we lost count of how many people took a-chan's picture. She had a blast dressing up and was quite a ham for the cameras. Saturday night she pleaded not to go to bed but to have more people take her picture instead. In fact, she started recognizing when people wanted to take her picture and began to pose - pulling up her hood and everything!

The 5 cookies went well. Here's the final decision on what they were: a thin sugar cookie base, vanilla icing, sugar sprinkles, a moravian spice cookie in the shape of a 5. They were very tasty but somewhat difficult for A-chan to eat. she enjoyed licking the icing off though. I really like them a whole lot. They do sound...interesting...but they are a nice exotic change. But they are reserved for Dragoncon and we'll have to wait for next year to have more.

But the absolute biggest hit were the Squeaky Shoes! It was amazing how many people commented on them, said they were awesome, and claimed to want some for themselves. So we thought, "wow, we could make adult squeakies and sell them next year and make a fortune!" and then we realized, "200 people at Dragoncon all squeaking as they walk from one hotel to the next....we'll be lynched. Bad idea." Wow, so many people asked about them and commented on them, though!
