Dragon*Con 2008
Sep. 2nd, 2008 08:54 pmSo, D*C is over for the year. I will be building my new flickr account this week, to replace my old web photo gallery, and I need to tag about 10000 old photos and 500 new ones from this weekend before I upload them (although I will probably not in that order, so the new pics are up sooner).
Returning readers know that I work in Peachtree Center now, so I've now managed to put in 3 days of day-job work overlapping with 5 days of con, all without leaving the 3x3 block square that defines D*C. Intense, but quite time efficient. I've already put in my vacation request for DC09, and it was approved (woot!).
The good...
People whose awesomeness improved my weekend in so many ways: Kive, Baron, Goose, Aims, Amber, Lucas, Jeanette, you all know who you are.
I got to see a lot of friends that I haven't been around for months, or even years in a couple of cases.
I checked a few more items off my list of personal firsts.
The bad...
I was broke. The new job was only one paycheck old as of con time, so I ended up bringing every dollar I had (and spending less than half of them, thank god). AWA is a whole *TWO* paychecks away, so this particular problem will not recur.
The ugly...
Thanks to miscommunication, poor timing, poor judgment, and poor planning, on the parts of multiple people including myself, I was utterly unable to fulfill my volunteering requirements. I have never heard of anyone having this problem, so I am unsure about the consequences, likely the least of which will be my lack of a staff badge next year.
