I collect Playbills from Broadway shows. Today I went to a convention in NYC with a booth that sold vintage ones; they had two rare items in stock that I’ve been trying to track down for a long time, and eagerly bought them for $50.
Like an idiot, instead of putting them in my backpack, I put them in a merchandise bag a booth gave me for free.
I go to a few panels, grab some lunch, eat in the hotel lobby. I’m stopping in the restroom and realize I don’t have the black bag on me. I look around everywhere - it’s not where I was sitting in the lobby, it’s not in the restaurant where I got food, it’s not in the room that had panels.
Feel like a total idiot. I’ve put in claims with the Lost and Found of the con, but of course, nothing’s happened yet.
I could cry.
TLDR: Bought two Playbills I’ve been trying to find forever, set the bag down somewhere & forgot where.
