So. I was watching the 2002 version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and I noticed that the pirate/smuggler Luigi Vampa (JB Blanc) looks remarkably like D-Con buddy Darrin (Darrin).
Off to D-Con, just as soon as I finish packing. Just a four hour drive, then a four hour flight. Maybe Toivo will let me rent some time on his laptop so's I can keep y'all updated. If not... I'll probably be cohearant enough to type around Wednesday.
My coat is now whole. If you look closely you will find that it does, in fact, look like poo, but from a distance, it looks rather like...not poo. Which was my primary goal. I am pleased. You may return to your everyday lives, now.
