that empty space in my luggage? :-O
I may be forced to resort to buying cheap tourist crap to fill it with...
;-) Sigh...I was strong, I brought home not one single thing labelled New
York, Orlando, or Las Vegas....And now I'll be bringing home three dozen
plastic cactii and a stuffed gila monster... <shakes head in disbelief>
(Or I could just bring Marv or Hellboy with me... hmmm...trenchcoats in the
desert...)

another well organised con in Tucson!! I love that Hedwig is included.
This sounds great!
And last time all I brought home was a dancing cactus that played that
awful mariachi music. I got it as a gag gift for a friend who is
Mexican-American and I never saw him laugh so much over anything! It
was truely an insane souvenir.
So, yeah, Tucson 2006!!!
Rock on!!
