Bit of Ivory

4:30 am bedtimes do not a happy Wahlee make. But dude, it was worth it.

Brief Wahleecon drilldown:

The people are *awesome*. Everyone is as cool or cooler than I thought they would be. So exciting to have everyone around me, and so cool that I still get to hang out with them for two more days.

The movie was spectacular. I still have a few quibbles (as we dissected late into the night at Denny’s), but overall, amazing. More detailed reviews to come when I’m not (a) braindead and (b) under limited time. The line was very fun. I bought some sherbet lemons at London Market that morning, and I sold them down the line for 10 cents a piece. I think I only made about $5, but it was still rather fun. Dobby attracted quite a bit of attention. When the people around us weren’t taking pictures, the news guys were. In fact, he makes a rather prominent appearance– along with my sister Lisa– in this article in the Deseret News. Note the Wahleecon t-shirt. Hee. also thrust him into Fox 13’s live broadcast– he got a very good closeup. I hope it makes up for him having to travel here on a luggage rack like Malfoy.

Today we’re going to lunch at the Mayan, then the matinee, then a pizza buffet at Litza’s, and finally cake and ice cream at my house. I have a feeling we’ll all be going to bed early tonight, though.
