So who's excited about Minicon!
Apr. 14th, 2022 03:26 pmWell, not me, but then I am usually more apprehensive about Minicon than excited (although I usually have fun once I get there). This year I am not running anything, so I'm feeling pretty relaxed. Maybe even looking forward to it a little bit, now that I am essentially packed and ready to go.
I reserved the room for 4 nights, which might be longer than I want to spend in that hotel but it's what Richard wanted. We like to check in on Thursday, even when none of us have big setup responsibilities, just so we are automatically there by Friday morning when things start happening for real. If we got our first-choice room we'll be close to the Table Fort, which is the nerve center of the Con. That will make it much easier for Richard to get his usual gaming retreat set up, and I plan to help out as needed with the nearby activities: Registration, Volunteers, Green Room, maybe at-con Programming?
I'm usually ready to go home by Sunday afternoon, but Richard typically wants to stay late, so why not? Contributes one more night to the room block, if that even matters this year. And saves us from having to check out in a rush right before Closing Ceremonies.
Oh yeah, Richard's 79th birthday is Monday, so we volunteered to host the Dead Dodo Party at Dreampark on Monday evening. There will be ice cream cake, a pot of stew, and a big pile of White Castles!
