I pretty much agree with you. I'm glad we should be at a different hotel next year where registrations are more likely not to be lost. <br />At Ohayocon this last year, we came "late" on Saturday hoping not to spend 3 hours online to register, but still had to wait about 2 hours. I'm sure we won't go next year, it's so crowded it rather stressful. We've never vended before, but it was actually pretty fun and since the con was well organized, not too much work (besides the making of stuff). I hope you enjoy those candlesticks! We'll definitely vend at next year's SES, and maybe even at PandoraCon.<br />I'm glad you're promoting volunteering for next year's convention. If you don't feel up to leading panels, there are plenty of other jobs that need filling, like sitting at the registration desk or giving directions in the hallways. I think there was a volunteer in pretty much every room with programming to make sure things ran on schedule. One of the main reasons the con ran so well was having ample volunteers.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562673525916361221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128588741979961438.post-67318069135428726232012-05-05T06:49:06.814-07:002012-05-05T06:49:06.814-07:00I do remember meeting you after the Steampunk 320 ...I do remember meeting you after the Steampunk 320 panel! It was an honor to be approached by someone who recognized me for my wedding, haha. We will both work on our socializing skills and next time I can properly convey my thanks as well.<br /><br />I have to say it was a hard decision to stay at the Airship Games the entire time, but I'm also a people-watcher so it was rather enjoyable. Next year I'm hoping to have more eyes around the convention so the video can be more diverse and I can get to see things I wouldn't have seen before.<br /><br />Of course you may share the link, and thank you for the compliments - please let me know what becomes of your theft =)Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659406642144592115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128588741979961438.post-30671764236978659142012-05-04T20:09:40.434-07:002012-05-04T20:09:40.434-07:00Ah, my dear. Let's talk. I'm admittedly ...Ah, my dear. Let's talk. I'm admittedly rather awkward in social situations. I spoke to you after one of the panels to say how much I enjoyed your blog. But afterwards, didn't feel like I was able to convey everything I wanted to say. I thought I sounded disjointed and scatter brained. This is common for me. Though I jump out there and interact with people, I always end up with regrets. Usually something along the lines of not knowing what to say or how to include someone, on the edges of a group, in the discussion when another is talking nonstop. Or, politely interrupting at just the wrong time. I never seem to fit in anywhere in particular. Oh well, I'll keep at it. <br /> <br />I completely agree with your assessment of the registration. I've never waited less than 45 minutes at an animecon when pre-registered. I don't think I waited more than 3 or 4 minutes for the Symposium and we got there at, what I would expect, to be a busy time. I also didn't wait at all to get a day pass for my daughter on Saturday. In fact, I never saw a long line at registration at all. <br /> <br />I do appreciate your video, as I missed the airship games entirely. An oversight on my part.<br /> <br />May I share the link to this post on my blog? www.peacefulcottagecreations.blogspot.com<br /> <br />P.S...Back to what I originally wanted to tell you...Congratulations to you both! I stumbled on your blog via the Empire when you were still planning the wedding. I was inspired by all your creative ideas and joyful attitude. I looked forward to every detail. You did an amazing job and I'm stealing...ahem...borrowing some of your ideas for future events. I wish you all the best!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14308396459262622191noreply@blogger.com
