Well Ame 07 is over :( but at least we have fuyucon and ame 08 to look forwrd to YAY!
so thursday was cool after finding opal court for rich which took a while. went up to ops to wait for the committee to find that they were all a few floors down. eventually after getting organised we moved things up to ops. i left steve to have a tech briefing whilst i helped out arrange the bring and buy/ art room with a few spare gophers. finally met up with steve and rich in the to be games room who were printing maps. after going to the gopher briefing and making mental notes for steve i finally sat back down with rich and steve for a bit before heading to the travel lodge and having a nice bath and soaking my feet.
friday was fun. had an early morning so i coul dget my kimono on and face makeup. i will admit it was slightly blotchy. it took 3 attempts to get the obi righ t bu tin the end i dont think it could have looked any better. i helped out with registrations for my hour and a half shift before becoming way too hot in my kimono and having to rest by the fan in ops where i got complimented on my kimono by akemi solloway. total bonus. plus i got to help her out in her kimono demonstration by being a model.
later oni went to te fuyu panel and recored itfollowed by the opening ceremony. by this time i was dying from the heat and had to give up my spot on VR1 to cool down. steve bles him looked after me and after he'd had fun trying to sort one of the VR rooms we finally made it back to the travel lodge to sleep.
Saturday i decided i wasnt going to wear the kimono it was too damn hot so wore my Rinoa battle costume which ment i go tto get up later. had a shower got dressed, had breakfast then went to set up the fuyucon registration table. this was maned by myself, joe and rich and also the other joe who popped up. things were fine apart from the convention netx to us who decided to near enough cover out table up and harrass every one coming passed much to our annoyance. due to this i could't sit at the table for long and had to go for a walk, my patience couldnt deal with it. bumped into steve lateron who wanted me to take photos of the masqurade which i did even though most of the people doing it didnt face the video camera like they were ment to so most of the shots were side on. i then waited for steve to finish in the auction before finaly heading off to bed.
sunday was a lot quieter as there was less on. headed for the fuyucon table again and spent alot longer on it as the other con had calmed down alot thankfully. we also had to close down early due to the bring and buy closing and then went to the closing ceremony. after this i saw steve and said i'd meet him in ops. i then offered to help set up the mirage for the ball which was quite amusing as madcat decided to dance on stage and other random stuff that was fun. once that was all done i finally met steve in ops and then headed down to the gopher party. after waiting to get a small piece from the good collection for the gophers, myself and steve headed to ops for the evening to man it. steve managed to forget some tapes and got collered by will to dance and sing at the ball so i stayed behind and had fun with the other gophers. we finally left to go to the travel lodge andd steve dropped of well before i did bless.
monday lead to a quick shop in derby before going home and sleeping for 2 hours. all in all it was good fun and i'm so looking forward to running fuyucon
