Aaah! Schedule!

Tomorrow (against my stated reservations on timing) I'm being invaded by family until mid-day Sunday, including my 11-year-old nephew. This will involve tiring things like Smithsonians and shopping.

Sunday and Monday evening I have to do laundry, read my comics, write my weekly column, and pack for GenCon. Probably need to go to the grocery store to get snacks.

Tuesday night I will spend several hours getting my hairs perfected.

Wednesday -> Sunday I will be in Indianapolis for GenCon! (See previous post.) It will be packed.

Then next Monday I'm back at work again, in charge of training a new employee that starts that day.

So, yeah, crazy. But my life-sucking work project is done, and then after this, it actually looks.... normal? For a while? Maybe I can get back to having personal projects again?

GenCon Schedule 2013

So, I'm super packed, because I'm insane and decided I really wanted to LARP a lot. Most of these games have slots open, so, here's my schedule!

Arrive Wednesday, 8/14 at 2pm. With luggage and a taxi to the JW, I'll probably poke my head up around 2:30-3, nothing planned on Wednesday. This is the perfect day for casual socialization!

Thursday:
11am: Auxilium Terra, a Werewolf RPG. (I love Werewolf: The Apocalypse.) No tickets available, but no-shows are common at GenCon.

5pm: The Team, a LARP by a group I liked last year. 1 ticket available! And last year there were no-shows.

Friday:
2pm: Ravnica/Return to Ravnica sealed Magic event. A booster from the three recent Return to Ravnica sets, and from the 2006 original Ravnica sets. Should be fun! Tickets still available!

6pm: Werewolf LARP, Nobody Messes with Family. This game is not proving popular, there's a chance it might not fire, but if it does, small might be fun? If I'm free early, I'm not worried.

Saturday:
2pm, Valkyrie Dying, BSG LARP. This is very popular and sold out instantly, the least likely game for someone else to jump in, but big LARPs sometimes have no-shows, so show up and maybe it'll work out?

8pm: Modern Masters sealed Magic event. Modern Masters is insanely popular and fun, no tickets available and unlikely to open up.

Sunday:
Noon: Red Star Rising, Pern LARP. I have a soft spot for Pern, and there's not a ton scheduled on Sunday, so why not? Slots open still. If I get exhausted, I might /be/ a no-show, but I'm hoping not.

Flight leaves at 7:27 pm. I'll leave the convention center, mmm, shortly after 4 when the Pern game finishes, exhausted after all this massive fun! See you next year!

Bonus question: Some of my meal slots are tight, and lines at GenCon can be long. Any suggestions for meal-substitute snacks that don't need refrigeration and are light and portable? Granola bars, Beef jerky, that sort of thing.

Hi, dreamwidth

Having met several dreamwidth folks at YAPC today, I can conclude that they're awesome in many ways. That is all.
