maf779  and I flew out of Cleveland on Thursday. 

Our plane was delayed for about 2 hours while we waited for storms to exit the Philadelphia area so that our plane could get to Cleveland.  Due to our plane being delayed, we were pushed back to the last shuttle ride from the airport.  We got to the Margate at about 8:20.  We registered.  The fashion show was supposed to be going on, but it had just got over.  We did, did however, see droxy!Snape (in Muggle clothing) and irishredlass69  still in the event tent, so we got to go hug and squee.  pokeystar  had bid on an hour with droxy!Snape at con for the TPP auction, and subvers  and her lovely roommates hosted the party.  We got to hug and squee and meet lots of people and play Truth or Dare with Snape.

The next morning found us at the fanfic panel discussion with lariopefic  , machshefa , dickgloucester , and bethbethbeth .  That was a lot of fun!

Afterwards, maf779 and I went to lunch.  We had to walk past the neighboring cemetery where we made a monumental discovery!

As you can see, Severus's Prince side of the family (front row) is much more closely related to the Potter family (white stone behind and to the right of the Prince stone) than we thought.  And, they're apparently from New Hampshire!

 

More pictures later.  I have to get them uploaded from my camera.
