The little boy behind her was charmed.
I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t find a volunteer spot that would fit me this second day. The first day, I showed up to the Professional check in windows on my scooter and was turned away. I didn’t have enough sense to tell them that I didn’t have to stay in it. They said it wouldn’t fit behind their counter.
OK, I explained the problem, and this second day they sent George and I to the Portfolio Review area. See George at work in the picture below. Each booth has a table and a person to do a review of either a wrtten portfolio or an art portfolio. Our job, in the midst of the Comic Con noise chaos on the echoing sail deck, is to call names out from a list.
“Can You yell?” Asked the supervisor Dianne. We could all yell.
As soon as one person was in a chair being interviewed, we would track down the next person on the list. It was a noisy job, but someone gets to do it. What fun it was.

Creativity is the buzzword here. I was chaarmed.

- Himself: Replaced one shirt, took vast numbers of pictures, got to go to the NASA panel, and took me out for Chinese.
- Herself: Got to go back to my favorite bookstore’s booth, bought an illustrated Swedish fiction that I had visited before, and rolled through the Artists Alley. Pictures to follow.
- Gratitudes: To be able to go to this Chaotic convention, and see so much new creativity. I’m inspired.
