I-Con 25 Report!!!
On Friday, Got my badge around 2pm and then loitered till people started to show up. I watched The Brobdingnagian Bards at 6pm and they played the most hysterical version of Ducats in the history of The Bards, seriously. They had me in stitches!!! Then I had to deal with guest stuff because Mike Nolan was nowhere to be found, grabbed dinner, and then saw RHPS and then Voltaire. Voltaire got fucked over with sound equipment, but it was still a good show. Some guy proposed to his girlfriend on stage.
On Saturday, I met Marc Singer (Beastmaster), Ron Glass, and Spider Robinson. Saw The Bards again and then went to the panel they were on (I had sooo many other panels I planned on going to but I never do what I plan on doing at the Con). Watched some SCA fighting. Scadians are great people. The rest of my Saturday consisted of running Cabaret which, was quite fun to run :) Watching the acts do sound check was most hysterical (Leo had kilt duty..hehe). Around 11:20pm, a speaker caught on fire in Javitz 105, leaving me to close up Cabaret and make people leave and have my staff work quickly just in case they decided to move the Anime Dance to us (which they didn't...but we got out a half hour earlier than we would have if there was no chance of the anime dance coming in). I want to personally thank my Staff for helping at setup/breakdown of Cabaret :-D
Sunday I saw The Bards play in the SAC (they were ousted from Javitz due to the fire the night before..) so it was a completely accoustic show :) So awesome. Parused the Dealer's Floor and got to talk to the author of Cybernetica. We were talking for a good half hour or so. Despite me being way too sleep deprived, I still found this enjoyable, and when I do finally buy his book, my shipping fee gets waived YAY! It's good to become friends with authors. Anyway, I was supposed to go to the Nagian Gathering of a diner run after the Con was over but the last hour of the Con was spent with me randomly bursting into tears cause I really needed sleep. They will be up here again April 30th cause they are playing at CW Post, so there will be another chance for me to dine with them then. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!
All in all twas a good I-Con for me. Unfortunately, being around well over 6000 people during a weekend while getting no sleep made me sickly. Joy... ::sniffles::
