#comiccon

I was at ottawa comiccon, and I noticed a wizard, all in red. And he had a scraggily hat. And I hoped. I hoped for Rincewind. And then he turned some more, and he had a fuzzy orangy brown thing on his back. Impossibility. It was an orang-utan. And my hope turned real when he turned to face me, and I read the word "wizzard" across his hat.

It was Rincewind, in the flesh, with the librarian!! I gasped. I choked up. I ran.

I said "excuse me, Rincewind?"

And Rincewind turned around, a broad grin on his face. And in that moment the disc was real, and we were flying through space on a disc on the back of four giant elephants riding on the back of the great a'tuin the space turtle. And my heart was so impossibly, dangerously full, that I forgot how to talk.

I managed, "Can we take cameras?" And waved my cellphone at him. And Rincewind replied to me, "Oh yes, of course! Nobody ever knows who I am!"

A lovely gentleman volunteered to take our picture. I got three pictures with Rincewind. And I said thank you and went back to sit down, re-entered the round world.

I should go to cons as Kuvira more often.

Forget what father Brennan said,

we were not born in sin.
