After con relaxing
Dexcon wwas this past week. You may think weekend, but the gaming con that takes place in East Brunswick, NJ every July runs officially wed-sun. Staff starts working the friday before the con setting up and stuff.
I took the whole week off, spending Friday night through sunday on site planning, shopping and doing some prep work for my position.
I run the staff suite - and I can't cook anything - or even warm up anything onsite. Therefore, a lot of precon work must be done.
Monday and teusday were spent shopping and baking and grilling and chopping - a whole lotta chopping.
It went off pretty well.
The magor problem revolved around going through a lot more food than expected. What I thought would last all weekend, was gone by Friday lunch.
What was left at 2pm on Sunday in the staff suite:
most of a gallon of pickle relish
1/3 gallon hellmans mayo
1/2 tub of peanut butter
about 2 boxes ofr cereal
1/2 gallon of milk
a bit of jams and jellies
4 cans OJ (forgotten at breakfast)
in other words, not so much.
things could have gone better, but could have gone much worse. Hopefully we will be able to do more precon shopping next year.
Had fun playing games - Deadlands run by a bunch of my friends. I played a voodoo priestess - and was quite effective.
Avatar Council meeting - was reminiscent of the long times past bickering style meetings, but was fun none-the-less.
Lucas Jamison is an ass, but is usually right. - So he's related to Daniel Jackson???
