Blogging the con, part II
Jan. 31st, 2008 09:37 pmSo there was also a Sunday of Vericon. I got there at 9:15 again, because I was sleep-deprived, and volunteered in the con suite until 10, when the MST3K started.
MST3K was great. I hadn't seen most of the movie, so most of the comments were a surprise (and they wrote the skits the night before.) Sometimes they said nothing, because the characters in the movie were saying such ridiculous things that you didn't need any comments, it was like "I can't believe he just said that." Oh Redline. You are such a bad movie.
Then I volunteered more in the suite. There was a guy who was looking for people to play his game, and since the con was almost over, I said if he came to the con suite I would play. It was this Middle-Eastern game that took place in Crusader times, and it was pretty cool, and I got to go first since I had been the closest to Jerusalem (or rather, I had been in Jerusalem). I had to leave mid-game to hear JB's end-of-con speech.
The end-of-con speech was just JB thanking everyone who was involved in the con. Other than the round of applause we gave ourselves as con-goers, I got the loudest applause for being food person.
In fact, several people told me they really liked the con suite, and someone said that it was nicer than the one in Arisia.
I'm very proud of the con suite. I designed it so I could live off of the food for the entire weekend. It worked out pretty well, though by the end of the con I was pretty drained and probably malnourished. (Though there were granola bars, and fruit, and craisins, and bagels and cream cheese, and other healthy things.) I should never spend 3 days living off of junk food. (And yet I'm probably going to do the same thing next year.)
I told JB I'd do food again next year. He was happy about that. I like having the job where everyone likes me.
We cleaned up at 3:30, and it took till around 5:15. I then went home for a thing at TBS, and then I went back to campus on Sunday night to game, and I got to stay late since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yaleartificer was nice enough to drive me home. It's nice to not have a curfew.

Monday was the 3-hour postmortem meeting, which was amusing and productive, and people stole me some cereal and chocolate milk from the dining hall.
There was also gaming afterwards and we played Arkham Horror. I had to leave early, but we ended up winning. It's a fun game and everyone works together as a team, and it's kind of like an RPG board game, except that you can't level up.
