These people are truely my people. A day that started with over an hour of pain and illness, easily turned around as I went to join the other people here. I spoke with a writer who was a great person with an impressive body of work, he was more then generous with offers of discount on the works I was eager to buy though unequipped monitarily to do so. He was very understanding and accepted my statements of likely looking through his website at a leter date when money was more freely available to me.
I turn and spoke to a skille artisan whos sculptures had first brought to the first connecticon years back (Joe Callaway). I enjoy talking to him each year and we take as one artist (and one buyer when I can spare the money) to another and he was very supportive and seemed very enthusiastic aboutsome of my ideas that are coming up in the next year. At that moment a young woman who had also been nearby admiring the other things around us came up and said that she had seen some f my discussions of panels and had enjoyed them 'and here...' she handed me two great books one which I had been very intersested in at the previous table. She simply gave them to me because she saw I liked them and could not afford them.
That's one of the great things about this place, there are truely caring extended families that form between us at these events.
Bothe my panles were very full and fully enjoyed by both my audiance and myself, and I had the opportunity to attend several panels myself today, enjoying it from the other side.
I got back to my rooom way later then anticipated but still managed to write out a story I'm useing the working title of Killers remorese. about a man who blames himself for a death of someone he's never truely even encountered and is infact not real. It's a bit of a horror but also a surprise twist type story that's based on an old idea of mine. I'm only now getting the chance to fill this out in reguards to this nice day.
Though it started in pain and worry it came out wonderfully and I can't wait for tomorrow, but I fear it as well. Because tommorrow I have to face the end to this trip and the return to the rest of the world. I count the days until I can come once more to meet my people at connecticon.
Tommorrow (or is it later today at this point?) I'll get my story done earlier I hope and write up my post before leaving, hopefully I can do that after checking out of my room. but You may not get a post for tomorrow. just a freindly heads up.
But Until the next post,
Take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack.

Hello, my name is Carter Jennings. I attended your panel yesterday and I must say, it was the highlight of the entire convention. I belong to a website called Mystical Wonders, where we discuss metaphysics, sacred geometry, manifestation, among many other things. There is, however, a lack of information regarding alchemy. It would be greatly appreciated if you could find the time to make an account and post a few things, as we are all extremely eager to learn. Thank you.
well thank you, it's always nice to know that my discussions are enjoyed. I wonder sometimes if I do the topics justice and worry a little about my speaking abilities. I have been thinking greatly about expanding my panels to other places and times. I'm not sure I'm good enough just yet to be a professional speaker but it may be worth a try. I took a quick look at the site you mentioned and I'll devote some time in the near future to exploring it and posting topics. How long have you been a part of that community?
I've been a member since February or March, and go by the name CJ. Earlier today, someone opened a topic on alchemy. I did my best to respond, but I'm sure I missed a lot of the key points.
