This is a story all about how...well, I was looking for something creative and that rhymed so you could sing along to theme to Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. However, my mind is so full with so much to tell about this little adventure, I pretty much failed at the creative part and the rhyming part. That leaves me with just all the sordid and seedy details. So grab a drink, get comfortable...cuz this is gonna be a doozy.
Our story starts approximately 7 months ago. Anyone who knows me, knows just how big of a Joseph Morgan fan I am. I have been lucky to meet him once before and he was awesome. Not only did he stop for a photo, but in the pouring down rain, he ran across the street leaving his security detail carrying an umbrella to sign an autograph for me. It’s one thing to stop, it’s another to do so while its pouring down rain and abandoning your shelter. Needless to say, this only solidified my fandom. Well, a chance of a lifetime arose. There are two major Vampire Diaries and The Originals Conventions. One is promoted by Creation Entertainment and the other, Eyecon who is based out of Atlanta, GA. Well, almost 7 months ago, Eyecon announced its main guest and it was indeed Joseph Morgan. This announcement would send shock and glee throughout the TVD and Originals convention fan base. Countless people began posting messages of extreme happiness that Joseph would be appearing. Joseph has done VERY few and by very few I mean around 3. And he hasn’t done one in years. Others post messages of hate and/or caution. In fact, several of my friends warned me about Eyecon, telling me they could not be trusted. Just the year before Eyecon announced Claire Holt, who plays Rebekah and is a main cast member. She was eventually pulled and many complained of issues with receiving refunds. I even read that one girl who wanted to attend for Joseph was concerned since she still had not received her refund for Claire 5 months after her cancellation. Personally, I take reviews under advisement, especially one's from friends.....but I still try to use my own personal experiences to be the final judgment. Could this all be a bunch of BS and be nothing more than a ploy to drive ticket sales? Perhaps. I would remain cautiou, yet happy. I bought my tickets for Joseph the first day they went on sale. No admission ticket and no other tickets would be purchased until the very last minute, as to avoid having to fight for a refund in case he was to cancel.
Over the next 7 months, I found myself checking the con's FB page and website constantly. I even tweeted Joseph a few times, trying to get a confirmation to no avail. When my annual NYC trip for TV week came up, I planned to use that to ask Joseph directly. Sadly, he was not there this year. However, I did find some time to speak to Daniel Gillies about Eyecon. He confirmed that he was aware of Joseph being scheduled for this convention and even went as far as to inquire about the date of the convention, as he was interested in being added to the guest list. He even asked that I recommend him to the convention promoters. A Mikaelson Brother photo op would be awesome. That was definitely a step in the right direction. Throughout the summer, Eyecon would announce a couple of names. In fact, they also added Daniel Sharman, who plays Kaleb. This was a very cool addition, a fresh convention name that I needed. Michael Trevino, Chris Wood, Chase Coleman and Micah Joe Parker will also added. Some common names, but also some names I did have need for. Previous years saw no less than 11 names and averaged about 13 names. I had confidence, with this being their last VD con, we may see some very cool names being added.
As time slowly ticked away and a guest was announced here and there throughout the summer, I became more and more anxious for the show, but concerned of a possible cancellation of Joseph Morgan. Then, Joseph actually tweeted about him attending. WOW! I think it makes a world of difference for a celebrity to tweet about themselves attending a few months in advance. Of course, a cancellation could still occur, but at least now we know Eyecon isn’t using Joseph's name to sell tickets for a show he was never attending. Still, I did not purchase any additional tickets and kept all my buying towards just Joseph. You just never know. I did, however, book my flight to Atlanta as well as my hotel. All these would be able to be canceled with minor inconvenience and no monetary loss.
With less than a month before the convention, I took notice that the convention had just 8 names announced and then we lost one. Chris Wood was announced for NYCC and now could not attend Eyecon. He tweeted about it, but Eyecon never addressed it. In fact, people on FB began to complain about it and rightfully so. Why is it a guest cancels and the only mention is by the guest on twitter? Eyecon's twitter doesn’t mention it, nor does the website update. A few days later, Eyecon updates the website, removing Chris from the guest list, but never makes an announcement on social media concerning it. They do not respond to tweets or FB messages concerning it. A few days after that, Paul Telfer cancels. We lose two. There is growing concern that something is wrong. We are less than a month away and went from 8 guests to 6 guests. Emails, tweets, FB messages, etc. are being ignored. People have spent a lot of money on this convention and cannot get any answers on what is going on, including me. 6 guests?! While my sole reason in attending Eyecon was for Joseph, this is a little insane. More importantly, the lack of communication was extremely unprofessional. Finally with about 2 weeks before the convention, Eyecon responds....sort of. I asked a question through DM on twitter and responded with a simple no. They didn’t answer my question or explain, just no. My FB messages were still ignored. However, some of my fellow con goers posted their disappointment concerning the number of guests and lack of communication. They were promptly met with seething fire by the promoter, who went on to tell me if they don’t like it.....they can stay home. Well, some of the people opted to take her up on her suggestion and requested refunds. They were promptly mocked and told there are no refunds, per the con's rules. I didn’t get to read everything that was posted on the FB group page, but several people informed me of the childish antics conducted by the Eyecon promoter. She would go on to post how she felt she was the victim, as she has been so busy filming the Star Trek movie. Which turns out, isn’t the REAL Star Trek movie but Star Trek First Frontier that is directed by her husband. Look, I get it. We all have lives. I understand you guys have a major undertaking with the movie you are trying to make. Hell, I can see that you even have some names from the Vampire Diaries that are starring in it. So in no way, was this intended to demean your project. BUT....why in the hell are you making movie while trying to put on a convention for the Vampire Diaries and a few months before that, you did a One Tree Hill convention. Are you a convention promoter or a movie production company? It’s not to say you can’t be both.....but clearly, YOU can’t be both. Facts are customer service is the MOST IMPORTANT service a company can provide in this day in age. It can sink your company and alienate your customer base. You can’t just ignore people's emails, messages, etc. and expect that to be ok. You are NOT the victim. In fact, every single person who bought your Diamond, platinum, gold or whatever package.....they were victimized. They were victimized by your lack of effort and your lack of professionalism, not to mention the lack of value in their purchase. For you to come onto FB and pretend you were the victim, mock your customers and pretend you were innocent is a damn disgrace. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Speaking of the lack of value, the lack of guests was finally addressed. Eyecon stated on FB that they tried to get other guests, but were turned down by several celebrities. Now you can see why. My friends contacted me about that and told me that Eyecon has pissed so many celebs off with issues with pay, that is the reason that stars do not want to work with them. Whether that is true or not, is unsubstantiated. I cannot verify that. What I can attest to is the level of unprofessionalism demonstrated by Eyecon's promoters. I said I would reserve my final judgment based on my own personal experience and Eyecon gets an F in effort. They get an F in professionalism. They get an F in customer service. 
Where this convention lacked in customer service from the promoter, they did excel at with their staff and volunteers. I offer the highest amount of praise to several of the volunteers, some sadly I forgot their names. But the girls at the ticket table were outstanding! Whatever questions I had were promptly addressed without any coating of bull shit. Any problems were quickly resolved. No hands were thrown up, instead when I had a problem, they got up out of their chair and went with me to resolve it. A+ to these girls. The MC for the event, Joshua Reid-Davis....A+. Not only did he offer outstanding customer service, but he stopped me in the hotel one evening to ask how the convention had been going for me and to make sure I was enjoying myself. He said to please come to him if I needed anything and even though it was my first time attending, was energetic and welcoming to me. Lastly, when I needed help getting all my Joseph Morgan autographs signed in paint, he was quick to get 2 volunteers to go with me through line to help with the items so they did not have any of the autographs smeared. You sir are both a scholar and gentlemen. And it certainly helps when he recognizes just how great of a hair day I was having on Sunday. 
I usually do not rant this much concerning bad promoters, but this time I think the amount of detail was justified. I thoroughly hope celebrities and/or agents for these celebrities read this. I hope fellow fans who may consider attending an Eyecon event take heed with the events of my story. I'm not going to say you should not attend 100%. I just offer EXTREME caution. At the end of the day, I got my photo ops and my autographs that I paid for with a major want and the reason I chose to forfeit my opportunity to attend my annual NYCC trip. And again, the staff and volunteers did an amazing job. But it would take a name similar on my rankings of wants like Joseph was, to get me to attend another Eyecon event. They have already begun talk about doing an Arrow con. Honestly, as much as I love Arrow, I truly hope they do not. Leave that to the professionals like Walker Stalker/Heroes & Villains.
If you're still with me, hold on.....cuz the complaints ain't done. Though the rest won’t be as egregious nor composing of mini tirades. Rewinding back to the week before the con. I was getting everything together for my trip. I actually packed a good bit several days before my trip. I wanted to get a head start on it. As I was getting my PayPal receipts printed, just in case, I wanted to double check my hotel reservation. When I initially booked my reservation, I was told that the convention rate was $135 and they had an exclusive contract with the promoters that would not allow any room to be sold at less than the $135 rate. I booked my room at the Sheraton in downtown Atlanta for 2 nights. They took the first night as a deposit. They broke down the cost of the room; $135 rate plus taxes and fees. It worked out to be around $164 a night. They also told me that their policy is that if I find an advertised rate anywhere, including discount hotel websites, the hotel would not only match the rate, but take an additional 10% off the room. They assured me that I would get the lowest possible nightly rate. I checked different sites periodically, but the Sheraton was right. No one was even close to the $135 rate. Well it had just ticked past midnight on Thursday before my trip and I decided to check my favorite discount hotel site and WHAM! They were selling the same rooms for $30 less than what I had paid. For some reason, I decided to check the hotel's website. When I did, the room was again cheaper! This time by only $3, but still. What happened to the lowest possible rate? I immediately called the hotel and explained the situation. The lady in reservation said she never heard of that policy. I explained that while I was on hold, it was playing on the recording. She opted to call the hotel line herself and did in fact verify that it does say that. She said she was going to write to the hotel directly, as she was a centrally located reservation center for Sheraton. She assured me the hotel would make this right and someone one call me later on that day. By 5pm, I received no call and called the hotel direct. I asked to speak to a front desk manager. I was told there was no manager available and they had to take my info. and someone would call me back no later than Friday morning.
By Friday afternoon, no return call again. I called again and was told all managers were in a meeting. How convenient. They took my information and told me that someone would call me back. As Friday night approached, I called again. I spoke to the front desk manager who told that all she could do is cancel my reservation. But since I was past the free cancellation period, I was going to be charged for 1 night. She did say she would request the fee be waived and felt confident that the billing office would in fact honor. Only problem is it would take several days to know for sure and 2 weeks before the money would be refunded to me. I would still need to shell out 2 nights through my favorite hotel discount site. Well, that’s not gonna work. I asked that she compensate for the inconvenience and the rate discount I should be receiving by giving me $30 in credit at the hotel restaurant or Wi-Fi or something. She said she couldn’t do that, but did offer me VIP Club access. The VIP room would provide me free hot breakfast, snacks, Starbucks Coffee, a fountain soda machine, etc. Ok....fine. Something is better than nothing and I wasn’t in a position of power considering my trip was a few mere hours away.
My flight on Saturday morning was at 6:40am. I had to take the first flight out in order to get to the convention in time for the photo ops which were to start at 10:30am. I also needed to drive 1.5hrs to Baltimore to do it. As I put the finishing touches on my packing, I found out that Eyecon announced a last minute addition in Riley Voelkel . Riley plays Freya, the lost sibling of Klaus, on The Originals. This was a stellar add and her first convention too. So while quantity was lacking, they did have a few quality names....names I can’t get at other VD cons. They even announced dual photos with Joseph would be available. Awesome!
My 2am wake up came way too soon. Especially considering that I didn’t get to sleep till midnight. A lousy 2 hours of sleep and I was in the shower and getting my bags out to the car. I actually got out the door 8 minutes early. The word early and me and almost foreign at this point. I hit the road with a giant can of Monster in the cup holder and an old episode of Sportscenter blaring on ESPN radio. I made terrific timing to the AP. I parked in the daily garage in order to save a few dollars and had zero wait to catch the shuttle. I got on and headed over to the AP. I had already checked in for the flight, so all I needed to was check my bag. I had virtually no wait to do that and made my way through security very quickly. I was almost 2 hours early. It was so early that the shops inside were mostly closed, except the Brooks Brothers suit store. Why they would be open at 5am beats me. Even Barney Stinson isn’t shopping for suits at 5am. Unless.....5am is the END of his night after riding the DRUNK TRAIN aka The Whore-int Express aka The Long Island Tailroad aka The Little With Wood, aka Slamtrak aka The Chatta-noogie Choo-Choo. Some of these would sound better if I wasn’t in Baltimore. Anyway, finally some of the convenience stores opened and I grabbed 2 bottles of juice and headed to my gate. I sat down and prepared for my flight. I hate flying, as I have mentioned before. Because of my size, it’s awfully cramped on most of these planes and I don’t like takeoff or landing. I was in group B, so I would be assured a window or aisle seat. I got on the plane and grabbed the best aisle seat I could. Unfortunately, they already announced that the flight was completely full, so I knew I would not have the row to myself. And sure enough, I did not. Both window and middle seat were eventually taken. I was cramped. It sucked. I dealt with it. Put the headphones on, bought some Wi-Fi and loaded my Sirius XM radio app. I used the on Demand feature and listened to Busted Open Radio, while reading some comics.
The flight itself passed fairly quickly. If you have ever been to Atlanta before, Hartsfield Jackson AP is a big one. You take a train to baggage claim. It’s not just a train 1 stop. It’s a train that you must ride several stops for several minutes. Once I got to baggage, I waited for my bag to come up. It took about 20 minutes just waiting. Finally my bag came up and I grabbed it. I headed outside and summoned my Uber. In less than 5 minutes, my Uber pulled up and I was on my way to the hotel. God I love Uber!
It took no more than 10 minutes to get there. In fact, I got to the hotel at almost 9:30am. I hoped my room was ready, but it was not. They had been sold out the night before. I put together my con backpack and checked the rest of my bags with the hotel until my room was ready. I headed downstairs to the con to get registered. Once downstairs, I went to registration, presented my ID and collected my tickets. I neglected to mention that I worked a deal out with someone who was unable to attend Eyecon. At Eyecon, each ticket you purchase has to be registered in someone's name before the con. Once they are, they cannot be changed. Only the person who has the ticket registered in their name can pick them up, as ID is required. Unlike other cons, this is strictly enforced. Well, one of the girls from the FB group I belong to couldn’t attend. She paid for a Platinum ticket and had no way to use it and could not get a refund. I made an offer based on what I felt was fair compensation for myself. That meant that most of what was included in this ticket was of no consequence to me. The only interest I had in the ticket was you were guaranteed a seat for the Q and As between rows 3 and 5. Well, all autos and photos were based off of where you were seated. So this would get me in and out of lines a little quicker. Turned out, it was far from necessary. But in the end, I paid no more than what I would have paid for admission. So it worked out to be valuable enough for me. As I walked away from the counter with my envelope in hand, I headed over to the ticket table to purchase the additional autos and photos I needed for the con. I opened up my envelope to make sure I had all tickets in there and soon discovered that all my autos and photo ops were there, but no admission. I left the line and went back to registration. I explained what was wrong. I assumed that the envelopes were labeled with the name of who purchased the tickets and not who registered them. This made no sense. What was the purpose of the registration then? Anyway, I gave the name of who purchased them and they found the envelope. However, the lady at the counter didn’t want to give it to me since it had someone else's name on it. She said this person would need to be here for me to claim it. I explained that the ticket is registered in my name and I have the email confirmation that it was. She opened up the envelope and the Platinum badge did indeed have my name printed on it. However, she still would not release it to me. She needed to get authorization. Another person came over and looked over the situation. He said he wasn’t sure if he should release the ticket to me. 
Dude, MY NAME is on the badge. MY NAME....it matches MY ID. It didn’t take long, but he finally agreed and I went back to the ticket line.
Back in line to purchase tickets, as 10:30am was rapidly approaching. When I got back in line, I found my friends from Chicago were also there now. I caught up with them as we waited our turn. I got my additional autos and photos purchased, minus the dual op with Joseph and Riley. I was told those were not on sale yet because they were awaiting confirmation that Joseph would be available to do them. Huh? Last night, they were already announced as being available and now there is a possible issue?! They instructed me to come back later on. So I opted to hold off on purchasing a Riley solo op, as I was just gonna do the dual.
Got all my tickets together and my friends and I went into the main ball room. We didn’t miss anything. They had just started to go over the itinerary for the day. I looked over the entire crowd and there were empty seats EVERYWHERE. I did a quick count and there was just under 100 people there and this was day 2 of the con. About 15 mins later they began photo ops. It wasn’t long till the Daniel Sharman line began. He hasn’t done a VD con yet and was awesome on The Originals for season 2 as Kaleb, Kol Mikaelson back from the dead and stuck in this witch's body. He had some great scenes and even though died at the end of Season 2, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him return. The line moved very quickly. During photo ops, I try and keep the interaction very short. The time to converse is during the auto part. I went in, shook his hand, posed and was gone. Quick and easy. They were putting photo ops out on the table already from Daniel's photo op. So I waited a few minutes and grabbed mine. I looked at it and wasn’t impressed. I had heard Froggy nightmares, but was I now living one? It looked a little off. Not a blur issue, but just seemed to not be crisp. It looked over saturated and it looked like it was taken by some dude using a 4MP camera. Maybe it was the ink or the paper. Something wasn’t quite right. I looked over other photo ops and they all seemed to have the same issue. I almost wanted to have him use my camera to retake it, but figured that was a lost cause to even ask. I went back to the main ball room and checked the time. It would be several hours before the autograph session began. I had no other photo ops today and no interest in the Q and As. I left and went to check on my room.
When I got back to the lobby, I found my room was ready to go. I got my key and I was in the South tower. As I was walking down the hall for the South tower elevator, I did see all these notices posted on the walls warning anyone in the south tower that BET was filming here and that by being here, you agreed to appear on camera. Never found out exactly what they were filming, but the hotel was pretty packed.
Once I got to my room, I opened the door and it was pretty cool. Bed was very comfortable, refrigerator...which is always a must for me, nice work area, available outlets and a beautiful bathroom. What I liked most about the bathroom....the toilet. First time I had seen one of these in a hotel room....the kind with the 2 functions. Press the #1 button when you go #1. Press the #2 button for when you go #2. When you press the number 2 button.... The roar was incredible. One roll of toilet paper rattled off the top of it. The force coming down on the water and toilet was strong enough to suck a fucking brick down. I felt safe that there would be no need for a call to maintenance for a backed up toilet. Well, at least if I remember to press #2.
I still had a couple of hours of time to kill. I got my stuff unpacked, charged my phone, cleaned up a bit, kicked off the sneakers and relaxed for a bit. Had to be careful not to drift off while lying in bed. Interestingly enough, I wasn’t exhausted. With about 40 mins before the autograph session was to begin, I opted to head to the VIP club lounge to see what this was all about. I went inside where I found the promoter and some of her staff sitting around having a staff meeting. I grabbed a bag of Doritos and a fountain soda, sat down for a moment to eat. The lounge was ok at best. Couple of chairs, couch, plenty of dining area, fruit, cookies, self-serve fountain machine, bottles of water, milk cartons, Starbucks coffee, even to go cups. It was nice. As I was finishing up and getting ready to head out, I see Micah Parker come in. He goes to get a coffee. Free selfie. Drats! The promoter is right here. Certainly not worth the risk of getting tossed out of the con before I get what I came for, for a guy that had 20 seconds of screen time on VD. If I really wanted to, I could have followed him onto the elevator....but to be honest with you, just wasn’t worth the effort to stand up at the moment.
Eventually, I got up to head back downstairs. I kept it in the back of my head that this might be the area used for their green room for the celebs. I would definitely be coming back periodically to check. As I got downstairs, I went back to the ticket table to check on the status of the dual op for Sunday. When I got there, I was informed the dual op definitely was NOT happening. The reason....had nothing to do with Joseph. The reason now.....Riley will not be here on Sunday, only Saturday. What the hell happened to Joseph might not have time? They didn’t know. I explained that I didn’t purchase a single Riley today because I wanted a dual. The one chick, who was extremely sexy with a Deadpool eating a taco tattooed to her arm, says they were just informed. Riley has some filming to do on Sunday and can’t be here. What happened to she was going be there both days? What happened to dual photo ops? What about people who bought photos for her on Sunday? The sexy chick tells me she is going to try and make this right. There are some people who didn’t get their singles with Riley on Sat. and were waiting for Sunday. They are going to do a special photo op session after autographs today. She said she would add me to the list, but they have to keep the list small, bc she has to go. So I purchase my Riley photo op and head back into the main auditorium. I guess they were running behind, bc they had the guest director doing commentary for a VD episode. I caught the last 20 minutes of it and it was fairly interesting to learn some of the tricks of their filming.
Once he was done, Josh was back out for more announcements. One of the announcements was concerning Riley photo ops and her not being here Sunday. He announced she would be here on Sunday morning for a very brief moment. All photo ops would be honored then, but all autographs needed to be taken care of today as she would not be a part of the autograph session. Ok...photo op on Sunday, got it. The autograph session was now beginning. I had autos for Daniel, Chase, Rob Praglo who played Mayor Lockwood in season 1 of VD and Riley. When my row was called, I went into line and it moved very quickly. I headed to Daniel first. There was no rhyme or reason. Once inside the room, you could just pick whatever table you wanted to goto. I turned my GoPro on to record my conversation with him. He was really nice and he signed my Originals poster for me. I asked him to inscribe Kaleb on it and he did. He was a big fan of the blue paint pen. I complimented him on his work with Originals and told him I thought he really did a good job in playing Kol trapped in Kaleb's body. At times, I felt like Nathaniel Buzolic was actually on the screen with some of his mannerisms.
As I walked away and headed for Riley's table, one of the security guys stopped me and said I can’t be recording in here and I need to turn it off. I promptly turned off the Go Pro. I don’t get why it’s such an issue. But it seems to becoming more and more of one. A second later he came back and told me that I needed to hand him the GoPro. I promptly laughed. I told him he asked that I turn it off and I did. End of story. I walked over to Riley's table and she too complimented the blue Deco. She loved my poster and looked over the autographs that I already had on it. I asked her to inscribe Freya on it and she did. But she didn’t sign it? Ummmm.....she looked at me inquisitively. She asked me if I wanted her to sign it too. That was the idea. She signed it underneath it. Weird. Perhaps being her first con, she wasn’t used to the idea of inscriptions. But she did look over the poster and saw that others had inscribed their character names under their autos. Oh well. She looked amazing and was really sweet. So it’s hard to hate, right? I stepped over to Chase Coleman, who does quite a number of these. Even though he does a lot of cons, I have never gotten him. The reason why is Creation likes to spread their cons over 3 days and Chase is always on Friday and Friday only. Creation's con is within a couple hours of driving, so there is really no need to go multiple days. I go 1 day and go home. I never go Friday. So having Chase here and being available all days of the con, was good for me. I had him sign my poster. He was nice, but seemed somewhat disinterested. I guess I wasn’t his type. I heard MANY Chase stories at Eyecon. They all involved alcohol, rats (not the rodent variety) and nudity. I witnessed nothing with my own eyes, as I don’t attend the parties, dances, concert, etc. Just stories that the girls like to trade. You can tell Chase is very flirtatious with many of them and he is very interactive on social media. He wasn’t rude at all, just seemed to be more disinterested. No problem, as I just needed my autograph and I was good.
The last auto I needed was Rob Praglo. A minor name in the VD world, but a cool one nonetheless. He has done Eyecon before several times, but I have never seen him elsewhere. So it was worth grabbing while I was here. I got him on my VD poster. He was very nice. He asked me what my name was and complimented me on the choice in marker. Nice guy. Quickly signed and I was on my way out. I got my stuff put away and waited for my friends to get through the line. When they did, I asked them if they wanted to join me in the VIP lounge. I told them about Micah being there, so they were up for it. We went up, sat down and relaxed for a moment. At 5:30pm, they put out Stuffed lasagna rolls. They were really good. The lounge had several people in it, almost at full capacity and these things didn’t last long. Sadly, they only put out the one pan full and never refilled. We hung out for a couple of hours, but never saw any celeb come in.
My friends decided they were going to go into Covington and check out some of the sites that VD films at. While it definitely sounded cool, I opted to stay at the hotel. I didn’t eat lunch, so I was definitely hungry and I wanted to make sure to get a good night’s rest. I headed back to my room, ordered some pizza to be delivered and basically just chilled in the room. I was going to purchase the Wi-Fi, but then I saw it was $12 a day for the slow connection and $24 for the fast connection. WTF?! So basically its $12 for no service or $24 for slow service. No thanks. I'll use my data and when I go over my plan, it will cost me another $10 for a GB of data. I'll deal.
The restaurant I ordered from advertised Chicago deep dish pizza. While it was nowhere near as tasty as REAL Chicago deep dish from Giordano's.....it was still quite good and quite expensive. $30 for a small pizza and a 2 liter. I could only eat half the damn thing too. I got everything ready for the next day, grabbed a shower since I was feeling rather grimy from the day of travel and con, crawled into bed, channel surfed for a bit and eventually landed on Iron Man. It was around 9pm and that was about the last thing I remembered. When I awoke....it was past 11pm and Iron Man 2 was on. I wasn’t sure what had happened. All I know is my phone was in my lap, my tablet to my side and the remote in my hand. I must have passed out. Wow. I put everything on the chargers, turned off the tv and went right to sleep. My wakeup call was scheduled for 7:45 and it was coming soon.
To Be Continued In Part 2....
