Back from Close Quarters

Had a fabulous time talking Pros with new friends and old.

Got delayed in BWI airport for three hours waiting for my plane to get in, which meant...

I watched three episodes of Top Gear on my iPod whilst waiting for said plane.

Stay tuned for an actual con report once I've had a good night's sleep.

It was definitely a marvellous time.

I'm woefully behind on my Top Gear. Are you watching new eps or old ones? (..and btw, do you have any good recs for old eps? I'm watching my way through what is showing up on bbc america, but I'm wondering what fandom thinks are the "good" ones :-) )

I'm torrenting the new ones, which is what I had uploaded on my iPod. And I'm catching up on old ones of BBC Canada. (Where it runs every day, three times a day.)

I'm a totally newbie when it comes to the fandom, but my favourites are the lorry episode (the one that hooked me), the car boats one, the caravan one, and Hammond's first ep after his crash. (I still can't quite believe that he narrated the crash footage, and had to watch that one with my eyes half-hidden.)

Jeez, if we'd known you were going to be held up there for so long, we could have had more pie.*g*

And then I would have exploded. *g*

But seriously, it was fab spending time with you and An. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Wish I could have spent a bit more time down there with you both.

Wish I could have spent a bit more time down there with you both. I wish that too. We could have done a pie and hash tour of Baltimore while An worked. Heh.

Argh. We could have eaten more corned beef hash.

And you could have had more pie! ;-)

It was a blast to see you. Come and visit again. Any time.

Clearly, you and Callisto think alike. *g*

It was fab to see you, and I only wish I could have come for longer. Callisto and I could have caused havoc in Baltimore whilst you earned your crust.

And if you ever want to visit Toronto, you definitely have a place to stay.

Glad you had a good time at CQ - looking forward to hearing more!

It was completely fab. I've got my fingers crossed there's another one in 2011.
