Hokay. So. I was at Balticon this weekend.

The really really REALLY quick conreport?

1) Fun fact: Number of hours Sorcy spent sleeping from Thursday to leaving the con on Monday: 10.5

2) Fun fact: Number of hours Sorcy spent playing Are You A Werewulf during the con: 12

3) [livejournal.com profile] lonebear, I was given a present by [livejournal.com profile] marcmagus to pass on to you. When are you coming over next, and are you bringing your most excellent geetars?

4) I've been promised a ride and a badge in exchange for working tech at Philcon. Yay for making friends with TD's. :D

5) I have a new Boston mommy named Persis (spelling?), who I will add to my flist once I stop being lazy.

6) Scritchies good.

7) If you have two esclators with the railings travelling in opposite directions, right next to each other, you can pull off some pretty cool OkGo style stunts.

8) If you've never seen the OkGo video with the treadmills, you NEED to click on the above link. It is *awesome* (Magus, I think I'm directing that at you --were you the one who said you hadn't seen it?)

9) The invention of the con suite was one of the greater inventions ever.

10) I apparently make a pretty good werewulf, seeing as I won both times it happened. Being a seer is just really REALLY bad for me though...

11) Never ever ever EVER ask who the Seer is.

12) JungleSpeed is a truly awesome game. It is a combination of Egyptian Ratscrew and Blink, and I think that Veronica may be the only person I know who knows both of those games.

13) Hand rolls(?) of sushi are awesome. They are a cone of seaweed with sushi inside. It's a sushi ice cream cone, and possibly the second greatest thing I got to eat during the con.

14) Baguette + cream cheese + really really squishy good smoked salmon = amazing. Thank you Persis.

15) Origami dodecahedrons make AWESOME conversation starters. Also, NTS: Make more segments with my e-mail address on them to pass out to all the people who ask how they're made.

16) Werewulfs that DON'T lynch the seer are morons. Really truly, people.

17) Favourite phrase this weekend: "I'd love to buy that, but I'm currently as broke as a Windows machine." (Me)

18) Moooooooon, I bought you a trinket! It is small, but I think you will very much love it.

19) Parents who are fannish, and have friends who are fannish and have watched you grow up rules, mostly because I have a steady flow of people to adore me and make sure I've hit such basics as "eating" and "drinking more water"

20) I, of course, don't have a voice.

21) Jannyblue continues to be just about as awesome as can be, including giving me a box of random awesome trinkets, INCLUDING about two dozen of the little origami dragons she folds so I can learn how. Incidentally, Janny, mum says hi to you, and after learning that you were connected to Rob, says hi to him too. (She's in love with his parody of Skullcrusher Mountain)

22) And for the record, mum says hi to Magus too, who is also awesome, and has an "Orc and Pie" shirt, damn him.

23) I get to GRADUATE today! Oh JOY!! [/sarcasm]

24)
Never before have I found a comic in the dailies that fit me so perfectly. And the fact that it's today, on graduation day...beautiful.

25) I will post a proper con report soon, what with chronological order and squeeings and the like. As for now, I am going to go work on the current Neopets plot some more. They have given me a puzzle. I must solve it.

MOOP!

P.S: I'ma going to ORIGINS this year! Finally! *squeeeeee!!*

Nitpick: "Are You a Werewolf?" and "werewolves". We're not trying to figure out which of the people in the circle is secretly your mother. ;)

Wow, I made the post tags. I feel special.

3) Thanks for helping pass that along. It's not actually from me; I'm just acting as a courier. I find something inherently beautiful about shipping things via the "Fannish Post" (there has to be a better name for that).

8) Thanks for the link. I'll try to check it out tonight. It was, in fact, I.

11) That may need a little softening. You should never do it in the early days (what's the point? The seer doesn't know anything yet.) Late in the game, there could possibly be a good reason for a villager to call out the seer, but that's definitely still in the category of Advanced Play. I wouldn't want to see people lynched for reasonable play because a village was being too much of unthinking followers of that dogma.

22) Hi! I'll see you on Independence Day?

I've tried to resist the temptation to respond to every single numbered point. Apparently I've succeeded.

Hi to your mum as well!

I'll pass along the comments to Rob when he gets home from work. :-)

Holy crap 12 hours?!? Wow. I love that game. I should try and get my friends into it. Normally I only play with my brother and his friends, and he's only in town like once a year, so I don't play very frequently.

Apologies in advance for the pun:

Con-grad-ulations. :-)
