OryCon, Day 1

OK, so the fact that I even made it to OryCon yesterday was a triumph of willpower and a loving pharmacopeia of ADD medications because I was so completely, totally, utterly scatterbrained that I had to leave the house no fewer than 3 times before I was actually on the road to Lloyd Center, where [...]
