I'm going to try, and I stress try to remember as much as possible. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Wednesday - Putting up the booth went really smoothly. Lots of help from Denise, Sidereal Knight, FickleGM, MrsFickleGM, and others I can't remember but were great to have helping. Played in TheUniverse's Mutants and Masterminds game with OldOne, FickleGM, RangerWickett, and a couple of Ryan's friends for whom I don't remember names. PirateCat showed up late but easily settled in to the role of the Big Dumb Swede. Fun was had by all and only one person died, which was good because he was the traitor. After that, FickleGM, MrsFickleGM, TheUniverse, EmpressD, Cheiromancer, and I went to dinner and had a blast. Then it was to the little Canadia suite where I got to meet a lot of people for the first time, including fusangite, diaglo, Queenie, DireWolf, Truth Seeker, Xath, LadyToll, Hellhound, Duco Duos, CaesarSlaad, Kiznit, and others I know I'm forgetting. I also was able to catch up with people I'd met before. And I second GV's thoughts on diaglo. He's a great guy to know and is not that old. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Thursday - Stumbled out of bed to get ready for GV's Damnation Decade game with Ethernaut, Duco Duos, Rel, and nakiacus. TPK and a helluva lot of fun.Went to lunch at Buco de Beppo with a gaggle of people, finally getting to meet Litlbeast, Grith Uberalles, and Kafitrar.True Dungeon was a lot of fun even though we weren't sure if Xath was going to make it (she did of course). Kiznit saved the day and in record time.Dinner was fun. But no karaoke. Apparently they do it on Wednesday nights only. So, next year, y'all know what we're doing Wednesday night after the Canadiana suite! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Friday - Old One's Mythic Heroes game was a lot of fun. We saved the day and only had to sacrifice a rescuee or two to do it!Stu's game was one of my two favorite games of the Con. We had the perfect group so, of course, the jokes and sexual innuendos were flying. And someone remind me that, in the future, when you get the first choice of characters, don't pick the one out of three that has the crappiet powers. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />The Ennies were amazing and, even though it was hot as hell, it looked amazingly well run and was fun to attend. And I got to meet fett527. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I just wish Piratecat had taken his pants off. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />[sarcasm]Nothing happened at the Red Garter. It was boring and I wish I hadn't gone. Next year I think I'll skip it completely.[/sarcasm]Saturday - Stopped by the Ennies booth and found FickleGM and MrsFickleGM. We took stuff to the park and met up with fett527, nakiacus, and Ethernaut. No game was run but we still had a great time throwing the frisbee around and actually participating in some physical activity. Too bad KenM wasn't there.Alenda's Halfling Musketeer game was my other favorite of the Con. The bad French accent were out in full effect. Too bad we had to burn the wine. :moment of silence:True Dungeon was next with SK, SK's Love Monkey, TheUniverse, and QueenD. We didn't survive this time. I let everyone try to figure out the last puzzle and, although I was going to get it right even though I knew the answer, I decided not to at the last minute. Next year, I'm only doing it once.The line to get into Hentai was more fun than after actually getting inside. We waited for about 45 minutes. After getting inside, we saw a really, really funny music video and then part of a comical documentary. About 5 minutes into the documentary, the ceiling started the shake. Apparently the GenCon dance was in full swing. We went out in the hall and were told to get in line again and wait another 15 minutes. Uh, no. Everyone dispersed (I think some were just glad for the excuse to leave <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) and I went back to the hotel. I stumbled upon the "old guard" as I called it, sitting around BSing and getting plastered. At about 2am I had to go sleep or I would have passed out.Sunday - My highlight of the Con was Sunday morning. As I Piratecat, KidCthulu, and I were walking to his game, Kevin told me that he had been looking forward to gaming with me for a while. Considering how awesome of a GM he is, I took that as a huge compliment. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />His game was a blast and Rel's speech and actions, after beating the big bad guy, were awesome.Sunday afternoon was me hanging out with people, breaking down the Ennies booth, sadly saying goodbye, and then napping until dinnertime because my cold had hit me that morning. I had leave dinner early because I was exhausted.All in all it was one of the best times I've ever had and I look forward to doing it again next year. :win:</blockquote>
