I was at ConGregate in Winston-Salem last weekend. I took photos. First, this was on the wall of Washington Perk, a coffee shop I frequented a lot.

This is a shih tsu/lhasa apso crossbreed, the same mix as Plushie. The resemblance is amazing though this one looks even more like a stuffed toy (he’s real, honestly).

Cosplay, of course. I also like the “I tried to form a gang but it turned into a book club” shopping bag.
The pizza across the street was good too, and in generous quantities.

That was a two-slice serving.
And finally this shot of a parking garage. It was a staple of 1970s detective TV that if the hero walked into a parking garage during an investigation, someone would try to run him over. Astonishingly it’s never happened to me — perhaps it’s a good thing I never tried to get a PI license.

Details of the weekend to follow in this afternoon’s weekend roundup post.

Along with parking garages, the main cause of death at the beginning of older shows was feet walking in closeup.
Isolated feet in a parking garage, someone wasn’t getting out of the first act alive; maybe not even to the opening credits!
Good point!
