Conrunners rock.

A while ago I went to flickgc's to play some games. On the way out hawkida asked me to help out with some Eastercon stuff. I hummed and harred about it, and jamesb enthused me on the idea, in that indomitable way he has.

A such I've attended[1] a couple of programming meetings and snuck into a committee meeting today.

I'm in total awe of conrunners. The amount of stuff they get done, to make sure that a bunch of us fans have a amazing 4 days is truly mind blowing. All done out the kindness of their mad hearts.

The clipped notes I took on the second half of today's committee meeting ran to nearly 4000 words.

[1] "attended" should be read as "sat in back and occasionally made silly comments".

My week as a cryptic series of Bullet points.(tm)

• Monday: Found out I'd be leaving on jet plane next week.
• Tuesday: Bender likes Rikku, because doesn't realise she's an Al'Bhed.
• Wednesday: Failed to play darts, but did hear a dog outsmart the Lord of Evil.
• Thursday: Unexpectedly found some Golden Sprouts in a basement, but had to leave them to play "wind up 118118" with some Unusual Weasels on a first floor.
• Friday: Watched some bubble wrapped Astronauts fight on trapezes, some mechanical Russian's act out an Italian book, and got blessed in a garden of dead roses.
• Saturday: Traveled for 7 hours to spend 2 hours looking at somewhere I will soon spend 4 days, and sit in a room for 4 hours.
