I surely agree with you about the lines.  I don't 
know about anyone else, but I'm not as young as I 
used to be and in spite of preparation with much 
more comfortable footwear I was just dead by the 
time I got home, from sheer foot fatigue.

Mercifully I didn't run into too many "stinkies" 
but I know they were there.  Heard someone on the 
elevator talking about it ("all those scary anime 
people! And some of them really smelled BAD!")

My final impression, a day later is that I didn't 
enjoy it nearly as much as I did last year, and 
it pisses me off that I feel this way, because 
there wasn't really anything wrong with the con.  
I surely never would have seen Char's 
Counterattack, for example, anywhere else... :)

(How DO you Gundam people stay up on all the 
backstory, anyway?!!)
