Thursday Late Afternoon Con Blogging

Today's episode: what would you do for a tote bag. I bought a $25 hardcover book, just so I could get the tote bag. The book was autographed, although at the moment I couldn't tell you by whom, and the tote bag is from Penguin Classic. Elie nearly got crushed in the quest for a tote bag. WB is handing out some nice, huge canvas totes advertising Smallville. When I say "huge," I mean you could easily fit three or four toddlers in this bag. They (the bags, not the toddlers) are among the more popular swag here, and the rush to get them is a barely-contained riot. That was as close to being crushed to death against the stage as I ever care to come.
