I hit Final Boss con today. It's on my university in our sports/gym building. It's nice space to have but so hot. Our a/c system sucks. Met up with a former student now coworker/friend and we went through the vendors rooms (basically two gyms full of vendors) There was a lot of nice stuff but shockingly nothing much for current anime/indie animation other than demon slayer (which is not one of my favorite things)

I did get a tea towel for my SiL with a cat shoving a glass off the table saying I do what I want which is exactly what their youngest cat is like. I was a little disappointed that D.M.Guay wasn't there this year because I would have liked to see her and her books again.

The leather working dungeons and dragons person was there but I bought no dice this time. I might have bought the leather belt purse but it wasn't bigger than the one I have...and could not find. I have NO idea why that's not in the cosplay bag.

There were a couple other authors I've seen before. One I haven't read his book yet and the other I have and didn't like it so now I try to not make eye contact with him (and my companion told me about trying to beta read for him but he won't listen)

I didn't get many gifts this time but I did get some stuff for me. I'll share.

I did go in my steampunk outfit

Got a gyro from the food truck (I had wanted the Indian food but 15$ for sag paneer seemed like a lot I'm not sure they did well being the most expensive truck there)

There were tons of people selling video games but I have no gaming system. I loved the one person doing paper art shadow boxes but when I went back the one I liked was gone so no problems there for my wallet.

As I mentioned above I was surprised that there were no Amazing Digital Circus or Hazbin stuff, okay a wee bit but not much and I did get what was on offer for TADC. There were several TADC cosplayers and someone was dressed up as Abel and Lute (My companion was mamou from the apothecary diaries)

There was a larp group that I might look into I wouldn't mind (so long as I'm not the only woman)

Came home and started collecting info for my medicine power point I'm up to 43 pages of notes copy and pasted from other places (and this is as close to science saturday we're getting)

From Rathacon the Hazbin art from the vendor who gave me mochi, Cherri/Lucifer/Pentious and soap from a different vendor

Four TADC key chains, kinger and queenie (of course) and Jax and Ragatha (who I'm thinking of cosplayin) I left poor Pomni here. And also how could I resist that cute little mothman in a potato chip bag.
