the loot/swag from trinoc-con

loot:

one big die 1.24 inches (but not big enough to not be a choking hazard, drat!)
one die with a flashing red light that goes off when it hits the table (cheesy, yes, but i wanted it)
one 10 sided die
cool and unconventional die bag (chinese pouch type thing meant for holding jewelry)
munchkin
cube farm (cheapass game)
big stack o' paperbacks
several prints from ursula vernon. she has both heartstoppingly beautiful work such as this and goofy, but touching cute pictures such as this.
a knights of the dinner table compilation

swag:
several zines from nth degree
deadwood (cheapass game)
lord of the fries (again, a cheapass game)
assorted other cool stuff still stuck in the bag o' swag

ursula vernon

not just a cool artist, but a cool frood. observe this description of one of her works:

This painting kicked around for over a year, and then one day, crazed by my digital pastel experiments, I suddenly knew how to finish it. Woohoo! And yes, to nip any possible misinterpretations in the bud...they're lesbians. I, however, am not. Good. We all clear? Excellent. Hopefully no one will now feel the need to e-mail me and ask if I'm a lesbian, or more enjoyably, tell me that the notion of lesbian angels means I will go directly to hell without passing go. I have strong feelings about that as well, but they are more succinctly summed up in hand gestures, which lose something when one attempts to transmit them digitally.
