ConSuite

I must admit, I had a blast in Con Suite at Arisia. I had volunteered to put in 12 hour (or so) and wound up doing a lot more: playing organizational force and last minute recruiter.

There are many, many, many wonderful supportive people to be found among the staff, the dealers and the con-goers. Each and every one of you made my day: Thank you! All night Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I had the needed support (and check-ins) from those in the know and those that simply cared. Various people listened supportively, hugged me, fed me, rubbed my back, and generally helped keep it all going. It would not have been possible with out you.

Yup, there were things that could have gone smoother with a bit of planning. But when it is too late, it is too late and there is nothing to do but make lemonade. Thanks to those of you who listened to me on this subject. I hope my ramblings were if not constructive, entertaining in a gee-she-really-needs-sleep sort of way.

So, next year, I guess I'll volunteer to help earlier and set aside time to help before hand. If needed I'll take lead on Con Suite. I firmly believe that earlier planning will make for smoother sailing and more opportunities for sleeping.

And now for the shameless plug: if you are reading this and would like to help with the party in Con Suite, please reply and say so. I'll make sure you are on the list. Heck, you know you'll be there anyway, why not help choose the snacks and earn free admission?

Many thanks to all.

I don't know if I'll be able to make it to Arisia next year (college is halfway across the country, so....) but if I can, I'll help out for a bit.

...there is nothing to do but make lemonade.

...but you made fruit punch!
