"Got to Hinckley, dumped the bags, had a drink and then Went To Ops."
Presumably Ops had migrated to Hinckley on the grounds that even if it was no longer the official Con venue, it was still Cool by virtue of your presence?
(Just be grateful that I didn't wear the mesh t-shirt I showed off briefly on Monday; and that I wore swimming trunks to keep everything somewhat restrained. I'm just saying; it could have been even better...)
On Tuesday morning, someone I had met briefly accosted me and asked if I'd been roped into the next Committee yet. Bless.
I gently pointed out that once you were in and proved to be marginally competent, the hard bit was getting out again.
Hmmm. I may have to engineer some monumental cock-up next time. Or prove to be such a raging sociopath that nobody will work with me. Both of those have been seen to work in the past.
(walks away, stroking beard^Wstubble and thinking hard)
I said "we" but, as we all know, there currently is no 2012 committee. The 2010 committee continues until the final debrief, of course, and then we wait and see if we shall be called upon to sacrifice the better part of two years in service of the convention... sort of like being called to serve in the Cabinet (or the Welsh Dresser, maybe?) but much more important and much harder work *g*
