If you’ve ever been to a comic-book convention you know that it can take days to recover. There is just so much being crammed into a weekend that by the end of it feet are sore from walking, exhaustion has set in from waking up so early to get in line and brains are just fried. Ben and his crew left Monday morning and were quickly replaced with the lovely Drena, who had opted to stay in town a few extra days to get some quality time in with Andrew, Andy and I.

The initial plan (created long before Con) had been to do some touristy things around San Diego, but by the time that day arrived we were all too tired and no in the mood to deal with the sun and heat. Instead, we decided to do one of my favorite indoor activities: shooting. After seeing photos of my PPK, both Drena and Andrew wanted to try shooting it. This was actually the first time Drena had even seen a real gun before, so shooting one was a very new experience. Even so, she actually did a great job, though I got the feeling after that it might not be for her. Though she definitely did enjoy watching everyone else shoot.

Andrew, on the other hand, took to it quite well. I think it has something to do with all that testosterone men have.

The rest of Drena’s time in San Diego was spent in total relaxation mode, with all of us sprawled on the couches watching season 1 of Dollhouse as I’d picked up the Comic Con exclusive edition over the weekend. Perfect way to end a busy weekend if you ask me.
