Good morning from Consonance, day 1

Well, it started out okay I guess. I went to breakfast, got the stuff from the room, set up the table with stuff that I needed (eisel for the whiteboard, house phone, powerstrip, my radios, etc.) and reclaimed some of my Magic decks from my sister. Don't know how she got them, though. I started trying to play with her & then flower_cat shows up, makes her forfiet the game, and drags her away to go set up the consuite. Then her phone goes off w/ misdev saying that Loki's on his way to the hotel w/ the fridge, and that her friend Jamie has done her 16 hours of consuite prep before the con even started. This means I will have at least 3 volunteers with one who's already got her hours done. Not that bad, I suppose.

consonance: day I part II

Most of the day was spent recruiting Roadie Runners and doing a bunch of "human ping-pong message relay" while still doing a bunch of madly insane phone tag. As a result of this, I was dealing with little children, consuite political stuff, and going to take photos of the concert by mdlbear while making snide comments about his long promised real-soon-now album (which will hopefully be released before GAFilk.)

In some respects today looked like another day @ De Anza, because the timing of almost all the puns was the same as though I was hanging in a group of college kids.

I was drafted into helping out with the dealer's room, helping out with the consuite, mannaging the table. Nothing major.

The concert by my father went rather well, & I made a snide comment about that album.....
