Con report (or: My groove, it has returned)

Awesomest Baycon I've had in years. Possibly, awesomest Baycon ever.

Highlights included winning this year's Zendo tournament, after half a decade of consistently making it to the finals and then being trounced; helping one of the guests of honor playtest and revamp the hell out of a new game; and kicking ass at Just a Minute (and as far as I can tell, entertaining people in the process). I also got in some dancing, some karaoke, some very nice hangout time with folks I don't see enough of, and some very nice...other kinds of hangout time as well.

And I did not get nearly enough sleep last night to make up for the weekend's sleep debt. But I'm not complaining. I think this evening will be spent organizing my con schwag and emailing new acquaintances.

*prrrrr*

Congratulations!

Are there special rules for tournament Zendo, or is any rule allowable? I'm thinking of rules like "A koan has the buddha nature if it has a prime number of points on the table" or "… if it has a unique highest point."

It's always nice to hear that someone's gotten her groove back.

I keep forgetting about Baycon. Maybe next year I'll remember it. Is it always Memorial Day weekend?
