a few things:
-awesome having the tuff enuff earlier, so as not to impede on any nightly outings
-the proxy panel is cool, although i wish it was later in the day so that i could attend as we aren’t getting in til after dinner thursday
-the drinking games panel…is it actually a panel?…or is it just people hanging around mingling and playing random pickup games (and if so, how hard is it to enjoy our beverage of choice at the con?)
mcq and didier (if you’re reading this), i will unfortunately not be able to attend the east kai event next weekend. i was going to go with many others, but they all pulled out at the last minute leaving me on my own and it’s not feasible to go by myself when i’m 100% going to gencon this year anyway. y’all probably don’t care -_- but lol i just wanted to let you know how sad i am that i cannot be there. however, i will see you guys at gencon. i am excited at the timing of the events this year as well.
I do care very much and I will be missing you there. See you at gen con however.
The drinking games panel starts off as a panel, but we like to let it take on a life of it’s own as it goes on.
As for drinking at the panel, we of course cannot condone that. Unfortunately we do not have the manpower or authority to stop people from doing this at the panel, and the convention did not police our panels. Last year I think there were some people drinking in our panel and no one said anything to them and they didn’t get in trouble and it was the worst. I sure hope no one tries to drink at this years panel because there is nothing we can do to stop it at all. Nothing at all, so we won’t even try to stop it. People will pretty much get away with it with no consequences at all. It’s crazy how you can just drink at panels like that and not get in trouble, but there is nothing we can do but ask politely to not do it.
