I have done a little posting on my facebook account with pictures, but I haven’t had time to put anything here.  The con was much better organized this year and they exceeded their last year attendance on Friday within the first few hours of opening from what the con com there told me.  That was very encouraging news.  They had many more panels, several guests this time and a lot more people.  (continue reading…)

I had a very good meeting with the con chair today and she liked my proposal for a Steampunk ball. It will have a few modifications but in essence, looks like it will happen. We are still working out the details, but I can say it will not be pay to play, but if you want food, it will be bit pricey. I am hoping to keep the price to below $40 a plate. But I would need a good attendance to achieve that.

Why is it that everyone wants to schedule their stuff at the end of July?  Sail training started a week ago. I am giving it a miss, but I really miss it.  The people are a lot of fun and I really miss them.  (continue reading…)

Room parties are almost as big at SF cons as are the regular events.  I took this video walking around on the party floor at around 1 am or so. Clickie —>

Work’s been hectic.   Just so you know, my supervisor has been stressed, and as a result, I’ve been stressed.  I am  hoping relaxing this weekend will help.  (continue reading…)

That’s most of what I saw that is.  (continue reading…)

ApolloCon starts today.  I’m getting ready by working on printing out a few characters for the game I have scheduled on Saturday.  I hope to leave in a few hours.  It’s completely across town, so I am staying at the hotel.  I am allowing the Space City Time Lords to use my room for a party room Friday and Saturday nights.  I just hope I can get some sleep sometime.  It’s a con, I should just give up on the consept.

Fortunately most the ApolloCon movie stuff is done.  We’ve got the schedule done, most the staff set up and ready to go, and the flyers are all up on the website.  (continue reading…)

I snagged this from the ApolloPlus40 twitter feed.

It’s an awesome feed about the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. It’s done in real time, that is, it’s the testing and the prep before the launch as it happened 40 years ago. It’s been fun to follow.

Thinking of Apollo… namely ApolloCon, don’t forget it’s next weekend and we will be there running the movie room.  I’ll also be involved with the Space City Time Lords and throwing a party in my room.  Don’t know what night it will be yet, but it will be announced at the con, if not here first.

I also am going to try and run a GURPS game on Saturday afternoon.  Probably around 12 noon or so.  It should be on the schedule at the con or up on the webpage soon.

The Kingdom of the Wetlands has a new King. Kane now is king and from the looks of it, I think he will do very well.
