Gen Con: T-Minus 4
I have a lot I want to accomplish before heading out in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, and I'm unsure as to how much of it I will actually get done. I have a lot less butterflies in my stomach this year... proving, I suppose, that one can get used to anything. Compounding my expected levels of anticipation and craziness is the fact that I have a new job. Training at the new place began on Thursday, and my last day at my "old" day job is Monday.
One of the benefits of working in the night life industry is that interesting, talented people are constantly walking in the door. One such acquantance whom I've known for several years stopped in last night... Tim Erickson is the man behind Death's Whisper, and was an early encouraging voice for my work. He is apparently working in some fashion with the people behind Cthulu Tech, and mentioned the possibility of working with him and/or them. I'm not quite sure what he had on his mind; it's something I'll have to follow up on after Con.
Speaking of which... here's a short verion of my To-Do list:
In theory, this is all totally do-able.
We'll see how well I actually do.

Speaking of which... here's a short verion of my To-Do list:
- Clean the car
- Inventory all product going to Indiana. All told, including all titles, we're talking about 300 books.
- Convert book covers into a 72 dpi format for use on an in-booth digital photoframe.
- Create a quick "Sales Sheet" for Factions as a whole, and print off a few dozen copies.
- Check my inventory of other assorted handouts for the booth (I'm big on handouts, fliers, and the like...), and make a run to Kinkos if necessary.
- Pack for 5 days.
- Map/Plan my driving route.
- Locate and pack the 2 metal folding chairs that I was intrusted to store for the booth at the end of last year.
- Locate and pack the 2 fold-up rolling carts that worked out quite well for hauling product boxes around.
- Pre-pack the car on Tues Night
In theory, this is all totally do-able.
We'll see how well I actually do.
