Arisia, Saturday and Sunday

[juldea]

Let's see if I can remember enough about the past two days to make another pro/con post. ;)

Pros:

Looking great in awesome outfits. Woot for little black dresses and cleavage.

Hair porn. I went to the braiding vendor and got an awesome crown done that is STILL IN!

Helping shadowravyn into her corset Saturday morning. (Later I would point to her cleavage and exclaim, "I did that!")

Being recognized in the podcasting panel.

Being gifted with Staff Den food after agreeing to cook crab rangoon for them.

redknight's party, and the late night Guitar Hero that ensued

The Vanilla Monogamy Meet & Greet not sucking!

Contributing well to the Gripe session.

Talking to someone from the RHPS cast who absolutely listened to me and didn't brush me off!

Meeting up with laura47 when she came over after Mystery Hunt ended.

londo cowering the hotel restaurant waitress into servicing us well.

Having MULTIPLE options of how to volunteer next year!

Hanging out at the Dead Dog for hours, music geeking with DJ Johnny Zed into the night.

Going home with londo every night. ♥

Cons:

Not making it to the Art Show before it closed.

Waking up every morning and inevitably missing the first few things I wanted to do by the time we got to the hotel.

Also not making it to all the events I wanted to due to overlapping schedules, being shanghaied, etc.

NO ONE mentioning my Jonathan Coulton shirt. :(

No Jonathan Coulton. >_>

Stomachaches/headaches

STILL being too injured to bellydance

Not knowing if flirting with someone will make them try to have sex with me and require beating off with a stick. :P

The issues that arose at the vanilla monogamy meet/greet (somewhat related to the above)

It being over. :(

Which part has you lost?

For the purposes of Arisia, that does NOT mean "singles gathering." It was for monogamous couples, too, to show up and meet others who have this zomg radically different lifestyle than the rest of fandom, how do we manage it?! :P

AH! That makes sense. The misinterpretation was NOT overmuch at the panel but rather at the rest of the meet, wherein the subject of who one is dating and whether that is just a single person and staying that way doesn't necessarily come up. At the monogamy thing, there WERE a couple of people who did not catch on that I was a taken monogamous girl immediately, but that was quickly rectified.

In related news, I love my con status button (http://pics.livejournal.com/juldea/pic/0006thq9).
