The ubiquitous MW report...

[graculus]

Yes, it's that time of year again... how did May roll around so quickly and the con happen so fast? Hello to everyone I met at MW this year, friends old and new. Highlights of the con included:

taking part in a panel on Merlin so successful at pimping that someone was ordering the dvds from England mid-way through.

obelix breaking the hotel room toilet

a late night discussion that included me breaking obelix's pairing, the catchphrase of the weekend for me being 'have some more pie, Spencer' (for which I am promised buttons next year...)

discovering more places in exotic Lansing where I can actually eat stuff!

the magic hotel room, where coffee and crullers just appear on my bedside table before I wake up (it was suggested sithdragn didn't tick the right box on the hotel form as this didn't happen for her)

speaking of sithdragn, getting moved on by Security for the amount of hysterical laughter that followed the first UNCLE slash panel, the contents of which conversation were just lightly touched upon at the second...

I am happy to enlarge on the above, if anyone is interested. ;)

Aldaco's (Mexican) was excellent, as usual. We also tried Three Amigos (also Mexican, pretty much next door to Aldaco's) and that was good too, with lots more choice for me as a vegetarian, but was quite a bit more expensive for no apparent reason.

The big hit of the weekend was the Fleetwood Diner, for which the directions are essentially 'turn left as you leave the hotel, drive straight on till you see the shiny metal thing on the right hand side'. Big portions, home-made Greek stuff and great mac-and-cheese, for which we returned on Monday to comfort ourselves over the con being finished. ;)

I have to remember the Fleetwood Diner for next year. We couldn't find a thing that looked good, and veggie options are pretty slim if you don't want to dine on French fries the entire weekend.

Not into Mexican, but Fleetwood Diner sounds interesting!
