I'll just put this out there: From time to time during conventions, and especially during CONvergence, I get to a point where I'm so tired my brain not think good no more.
The time when I'm in that state is usually about the same time that I run into a friend or acquaintance I've known for ages. I suspect it's because I've already been overloaded by new names and faces, and what happens is that I completely blank on the names of people I know. Happened more than once this past weekend, with people I've spent significant time talking with on dozens of occasions before. In one case, it was with someone I've known for years. I dunno what's up, or why this happens.
Whatever the cause, you can tell when it's happening by watching for two sure signs. First, you'll see me talking to someone with whom I'm casually acquainted, whom I see on a semi-regular basis, and whom you've heard me call by name before. Second, it will look like I'm texting while I carry on a conversation with them.
I'm not actually texting. I'm frantically scouring my facebook friends in the hopes that I'll stumble upon something to trigger my memory before the conversation ends.
It's true, sadly, but this is the information my mind chucks out when it's time for me to go have a little lie down.
