Day 2 was busier, but still pretty laid back because it was mostly another set up day. We were able to go and do some sightseeing (we'll post those pictures later) and spend time with friends. Here are some pictures from our day:
The first ever BothCon. Ryan and a few friends run a site called From Bricks to Bothans (fbtb.net), so they decided to get everyone together to have a pizza party.
We went to dinner with a group of friends to a place called Thai Heaven. I had never had Thai food before and Ryan had only had it like once (at a prior con), so we decided to go and probably just share a meal to keep our spending down. Well, the owner came over to our big group and told us he had a great deal for us...he was giving us an appetizer and several different entrees that we would share family style for $13/person. Everyone else joined in, so we figured we would too. The food was great and we had four or five different dishes, but then he came back out and asked if anyone wanted ice cream and our friend said we all did. We thought the ice cream was covered under the $13/person, but when the bill came it showed that the ice cream was an additional $3/person. We would definitely eat there again, but now we know not to say yes to the ice cream. Poor Ryan ate all of it and it was coconut. What a trooper!

Awesome new castle set announced during Opening Ceremonies.
The designers from Lego product teams felt bad that women weren't well represented in the Lego community, so they decided to have a beauty pagent to recognize the women builders that were there and show off some of the female minifigs, including upcoming minifigs. I was able to be one of the contestants and I happened to be given the UGLIEST one. Well, they had the audience cheer for the prettiest and thanks to our awesome friends who cheered for me I won!
Isn't she beautiful? Everyone got to keep their minifigs, which is really cool because this one hasn't been released yet. We don't even know what set it will be in.
Ryan with Gordon Freeman from the game "Half Life". Our friend's brother works for the game company Valve, so we were able to go to his office and check out the new zombie game they're working on, "Left 4 Dead".
