thessalian | Con Quest (Reply)

I must sort convention shit. Having discovered that there is at least one Googleable RPG con in San Francisco (ConQuest), and it happens in September (in time for the Geeks and Techies release, no less), I have decided that I must go. I wanted to go back to SF anyway. Of course, that does not preclude finding out about getting Team8 to run Affils at that convention in Cork, getting to Battlemasters in April, and possibly trying some of the other UK-based conventions. One day, I might do GenCon Indy, but frankly, I just don't see the point. Yes, huge gaming convention, but it's an awfully long way to go just for a gaming convention when I could go to ConQuest or GenCon Anaheim or any number of others and turn the con trip into a holiday with the added advantage of seeing friends in the US. It will possibly be different when I know a few more people, because then it'll be an excuse to see them as well as just a trip to pimp my game.

The Christmas holidays are coming, hurray! We're getting out of the office at midday on Friday, which is also payday (double hurray) and so I can spend the rest of the afternoon watching last-minute shoppers and possibly even doing some of it myself. The thing is, though, that since it lacks urgency (I have

dodgyhoodoo's present,

weaselbitch has hers already and everyone else doesn't stand a chance of getting theirs until after Christmas anyway), it'll be more fun to watch people run around like idiots trying to pick stuff up. I'm sadistic like that sometimes.

lokean? Quotes? Please?
