I went to Con
Such fun. So little sleep.
Things wot I learned...
1. Tech are BEST. They provide icecream for hard workers during the main room set-up.
2. Tech are BEST. Especially that one guy who wasn't phased by the complicated lighting of maskerade act and sat there with his finger on the "Bright Light" button to get EVERY flash right.
3. Tech are BEST. After explanations are given, Tech are understanding that if one's Maskerade act is 90 secs of pure cardio, one needs to lie on the floor for a bit before running it again.
4. After Tech, Ops are best. Always there for receiving encouraging hugs and groping the chap-less ass.
5. On the subject of the chaps, hop/jogging around like Danny out of Hot Fuzz at the fete is the MOST fun way to travel around when in cowboy gear.
6. People are willing to form a polite queue in the bar to touch the abs. People are so polite!
7. One cannot live on chips and pints of coke alone... but throw in some rum and it's a pretty sweet life.
8. Not everyone knows to stand up for the hymns at Church of Om (Holy Horns).
9. Planking for quoits is forbidden.
10. Begging at the Gala Dinner drinks reception is surprisingly productive. Tuppence, a chocolate liquorice coin, and a glass of bubbles. Sweet!
11. I have a lot of THOUGHTS about The Books. Enough for hours of intense literature discussion in the bar. Twice.
12. Sunrise is pretty.
