(probably a lot more than five hundred words, but...)
( On the subject of balky auto starters... )
( On the worst-run convention I have ever seen first-hand in my life... )
I got home after an uneventful day of driving about 6 PM Sunday.
( My opinions about this whole learning experience... )
For my part, the boss paid me about enough to cover my gas to and from his place and the labor costs on the starter repair. Aside from expenses I would have had anyway (that starter was going to die on me anyhow), that makes me whole for the weekend- no profit, but whole. The boss, on the other hand, has just had his budget crash for the remainder of the year, which means he's going to do all he can to get a refund out of Jacko'con.
I wish him luck, but I suspect no blood is forthcoming from that stone.
As for me, I have a couple of conventions left in the year which might be money-losers- a comic show in Memphis and a smallish anime con in Indianapolis (1000 miles one-way from home). I had hoped for more out of this trip... but I escaped with a more or less whole skin (aside from that damn starter), which is better than anyone else is coming out of it.
Bless my lucky stars... for a change.
