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

[vvvexation]

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*

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?

It is. And I did mention it last week. :-p

That would've been Oakland week; I wasn't really reading LJ. And realistically I was in no shape to attend another convention last weekend, despite how very different they are. :-)

... if the IEEE keeps scheduling Oakland the week before Memorial Day, I may have a permanent conflict on my hands. :-(

Oh, incidentally: I'm starting to not be so keen on being labeled with gendered pronouns when it isn't absolutely necessary.
