Some cool things about Technicon 23<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Giving rattrap<\/a> his combined holiday present for the next several years.
\nPlaying the WoW board game<\/a> with jsciv<\/a>, meiran<\/a>, and candidevoltaire<\/a>; then buying a copy.
\nA copy of The Heroic Trio<\/i> from kittykatya<\/a>.
\nOpening the wrong door and accidentally joining this year’s Vile Skit.
\nBeing practically the only character in vileone<\/a>‘s LARP that was exactly what he said he was: no more, no less.
\nFriday dinner seated between Dwight, raininva<\/a>, and Christy.
\nFriday night panels that went Most Excellently. (Some details soon in a filtered post, heh heh.)
\nA Vile Script that forced me to wrestle with rainbowsaber<\/a>. (Oh, shucks.)
\nHelping southernsinger<\/a> perform “The Dragon & The Lady<\/a>” for Holly Lisle.
\nLate Saturday dinner and great conversation with meiran<\/a>.
\nThanks to trenn<\/a>, chown -R us:us yourbase.
\nFrequent backrubby morale- and energy-boosts from shrewlet<\/a>.
\nTwo boxes full of new reading material from the Auction.
\nCool artwork from kittenchan<\/a> and ranchonmars<\/a>.
\nIt’s my 20th Technicon.<\/p>\n

Some less-cool things about Technicon 23:<\/p>\n

It’s my 20th Technicon.
\nNot enough time to be in Whose Con Is It?
\nLong drives from and to Norfolk.
\nNot enough quality time with many friends.
\nMy lousy Simon Cowell imitation.
\nA body that gave out too early on Saturday night. (For once, stomach issues rather than exhaustion.)
\nOur air mattress developing a hole.
\nNot enough time for after-con dinner in Blacksburg. (But a good one with Bert & Meche in Salem.)<\/p>\n

I’d call TCon 23 a success, for my part. Well done, nius<\/a>, and thanks for the good weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
