moving along

The pics are still streaming in from Windycon, and I'm just aglow from all the compliments. Or it might just be exhaustion - I'm not entirely sure. I have lots of new facebook friends as I'm getting tagged in people's albums - lots of "Oh THAT'S that guy's name - the one with the cool hat/gun/backpack/goggles/etc". Because you can't always refer to people as "Gatling-Gun Raleigh". (The guy with the awesome modded belt-feed Nerf, who plays Raleigh at the Michigan Faire, and whose name is Cliff)

Local Chicago folks - if I can get my download working properly, anyone want to come over this weekend and watch the new Who special 'The Waters of Mars"? I was thinking Friday, since ashtalet is going out of town so the usual default Friday night gaming isn't happening. Anyone?

I will be posting more complaints about condo crap at a later date - I came home to find the boiler shut off, the temps at 63 in my unit and water all over the kitchen floor from a new leak in the radiator piping. But right now I want to go stare at the TV for a while.

Everything sounded like the masquerade went so well and you were just so positive and happy looking that I was really excited for you and I didn't even see any of it! I'm glad it went well.

I'm a big believer in the following management strategy:
1) Pick the best possible people with great skills
2) Tell them exactly what you need them to do
3) Find out what they need from you to get it done
4) Get the hell out of their way!

I dropped a lot of little balls on the way - I managed to forget to give the contestants their badge ribbons, for example. Mostly from being unable to be in two places at once. The concom basically said "Get yourself a minion - we'll give you another staff slot" - so next time I *will* be able to be in two places at once.

I didn't catch the Masquerade, but I sure caught a LOT of costumed people posing for photo shoots afterwards! Amazing stuff!

Maybe you should make the boilers more Steampunk, or hire some ren faire armored guards to keep the idiot away.

We just changed the locks

Just to make sure that the two or three people this applies to don't get confused, this is not actually true (at least for this week).

oops - sorry. I'm up for suggestions as to another time.

I like "Gatling Gun Raleigh" as a name.

I'm terribly with names. It's not that I can't remember who you are - I just can't connect a name to that.

"Gatling-Gun Raleigh" is a perfect example - it's how and where I know him from. John W, my guitarist? I did 3 shows with him before I knew him as anything other than "Moebius Gumby" because he used to dress as a Monty Python "Gumby" guy at cons and we performed with Moebius Theatre.

Yes, my brain is broken.
