Post-con crash

[ckd]

Arisia: good overall, not perfect. The hotel was, as many have noted, physically problematic; my impression is that the architects did their design with the sole concept of "hotel-hosted function" equal to "wedding reception and dance". OTOH, it's a heck of a lot closer to home and this meant that I could in fact stay until 0300 if I wanted to, and still get home without having to walk halfway across Boston.

Saw lots of folks, went to some panels, finally got a chance to play Star Fleet Battles, got hooked on Tsuro, hooked folks on various games (Chrononauts was a particularly popular choice), and now comes the post-con energy dump.

To sleep, perchance to catch up. Hooray for academic institution holiday policies!

Yeah, a moderate sized wedding it probably handles swimmingly, or a teeny-tiny convention okay. For something like Arisia, even with it being a smaller Con this year, not so much. Did like having moderate priced food avaiable in the hotel though.

We met, didn't we? I think after I talked with you I suddenly realized that I'd expected you to look like a small blue foam shark - and then I realized who you were.

Unless I was mistaken. In which case, sorry!

Star Fleet Battles rules! I once worked up a whole crapload of alternate races for it. I know I have a printout in the basement somewhere; when I find it, I'll write it up and post it someplace.

We should talk about SFB tactics sometime. :D

We may well have met this con; enough of it's a whirl that I can't be 100% sure either way.

I'm looking at whether I want to buy one of the Federation Commander sets; it looks like a slightly streamlined SFB with more friendly components.

Hi there! JoSelle from Arisia. Just adding everyone I met at the LJ party :). It seems we have a ton of friends in common, too. Awesome!
