Witching Hour

[alexxkay]

My favorite moment from The Witching Hour came just as I was leaving late Thursday night. I went to the hotel elevator, and absently pushed "up" instead of "down". Because of this, I was on the same elevator as a fairly cute Slytherin schoolgirl. I said, "Nice outfit. My wife's in Slytherin, too." She said, with mild interest, "Oh, who's your wife?" "Kestrell." *Now*, her eyes pop out: "You're kidding?!? I've *got* to meet her!" "She's doing a panel on Disability HP fanfic at 9 in the morning; you could meet her there." "Oh wow, she's *presenting*, too!" Hee hee, my wife is famous :-)

Curious observation: this con had the opposite demographics to a stereotypical comic-book convention. Easily 90% female attendance.
