The disc was left by chance in Kristen and Bryan's laptop and used after Richard had forgotten to grab his full run of DVDs after spending the last moments before leaving home chasing a cat.

The pizzas delivered for lunch had an extra quart of grease added to each. By the end of the night, the uneaten leftovers were discarded (showing how greasy the pizzas were).

Dinner was at a nearby Italian place so that lasagna was available for those who wished to partake. * Tom Sloane - Why? discussion lead by Brother Grimace * "What were we thinking of?" discussion of Fanfiction writing and trends * The musician jam session organized by Deref * What is the proper chronology of Season 5 discussion lead by Dennis * The obligatory Pizza dinner * A physical display of fan art * Lawndale Monopoly? * Character standup giveaway (with luck, we will have some "life size" chacter standups in the meeting room that will be given away by lottery at the end of the convention) Sunday was spent preparing for member departures to home or to continue vacations in Florida. ~~External trips to a beach and other tourist destinations probable.~~ [[Category: Fandom\|Orlando Dariacon 2008]] ~~{{Stub}}~~
