My first day waking up at Manticon. It’s like a different world here, you know. Surrounded by people who love science fiction as much as I do. Which by the way is a lot. And I’m very rarely around an entire group of people who love it as much as I do, so this is real refreshing. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
