Volunteering in the Smokers’ Lounge was doing my small part for one of my niche communities, to that end I expect to this year resume volunteering for Art Show set-up. (Although I will ever lament no longer being one of Dr. Karen’s minions.) A few years ago after doing a couple of shifts running the Con Suite at Gaylaxicon I volunteered in the Con Suite at the following Arisia. It was a wonderful experience I hope never to repeat.
