The last day of the very short con. I hope it becomes a yearly thing. The con was short notice, most of the guests not finalized until very close to go time, and yet they sold out of a lot of the official merch. I was surprised! I didn't think any of the T shirt designs would sell out, but some did completely and other had very limited sizes left.
I wandered out for a chunk of the day, and quickly had regrets. I'd brought face sunscreen, body sunscreen and a very good sunscreen lip balm, but I wasn't also wearing a hat on con days. The hat, oof, it made a difference. I wound up just sitting in the 'soda shop' at the WW2 museum with a Diet Coke and scrolling Insta.
I hadn't packed my lens cleaning kit, so I mostly just used my cell a lot, which isn't great. There was just so much floating through the air at the cemeteries that my lens got really dirty and I was trying to not use it so I could get a few more shots out of it if I really had a great shot. Eh, I should have just used it until it was unusable.
But a few Warehouse Arts District pics for the vibes:
The Leverage panels were last, probably because that's the biggest property there. I wonder if that was Aleyse's fist con? We saw the first part of Season 3 Episode one, which I posted about over in the Leverage comm. I might also drop a few pics over there.
Then, after the con I... went into the French Quarter again. When I'd given google maps the address for the exterior of the Leverage HQ, it had shown a spot way out in another part of town. Turns out, google maps isn't just unreliable in Oregon! It gave me a few problems on my trip. Anyway, turns out it's in the French Quarter, down a side street with no shops. So, once again...

And, with that, I had my list of trip objectives done! One had been to shoot the 'skeleton house' house that has an amazing display of skeletons every year, but as we passed it on the street car I heard people exclaim 'it's the eras! OMG it's all the eras!' So, I assume this year was Taylor Swift themed and skipped it. Other than that, everything was checked off.
If I'd had another day, and lens cleaner, I could have gotten some stunning pics. I knew my way around and what shots I'd want and might linger for / hit at certain times of day. And... I still haven't gone and cleaned my camera. I need to go do that.

Congrats on checking off the whole list.
