Decided to use the light rail today, as a $3.5 all day pass makes for a much better deal then the $12 or more for parking downtown. Took about a 1/2 hour to go from the park&ride lot to the stop next to the convention...

Killed some time watching some short movies, with the live-action version of the first part of Street Angel standing out. Captured the cleverness and humor of the comic well. Then I hit the dealer's room again and found a dealer with a 50% off all trades offer and so grabbed a couple books there...

After that I met up with [profile] kafeixuesheng at the John Scalzi panel. Scalzi read one of his short pieces then did Q&A on writing and dealing with Hollywood. Then we went out and grabbed something to eat before hitting the James Marsters' Q&A. I had no idea he had a theater background before landing the role of Spike. I liked his story about how Anthony Head used to yell at him about his ridiculous his accent was. And what it was like to make-out with John Barrowman on Torchwood...

Not much after that, [profile] kafeixuesheng got all his Scalzi books autographed and we tried to find some open gaming. Sadly the best would have been waiting an hour or more for a 4e demo so I called it a day...

All in all I had a good time. And the various 1/2 off books meant I saved at least what I paid for the con registration. Of course it was all topped off by me getting a flat on the drive home. So even though I hadn't planned on going for the partial Sunday events, I'm definitely not now that I have to find a tire place that is open tomorrow. I think Discount should be. Stupid tire...
