more WindyCon

A few more comments:

There was a Saturday evening false fire alarm at WindyCon. The good news is, the alarm system works. Saturday evening is also when the costumes came out. There was a very impressive Star Wars storm trooper, a number of very elaborate costumes of a more historical nature, and lots of women spilling out of all sort of outfits.

Speaking of visually appealing female forms, the art show was quite large, and I quite enjoyed looking around, though I didn’t buy anything. I also escaped with my wallet intact from the large dealer’s room.

While sitting on a couch near the restaurant Saturday evening, reading and watching the people go by, I heard voices from behind me and discovered that the curved wall behind me would reflect sound from a certain point in the restaurant. I didn’t try talking back...

almeda was able to spend evenings at the con though she was working during the days. I was happy to let her use my guitar and happy to hear her join in singing on some of my stuff, especially the Ivanova Blasphemy song, which I think sounded quite good as a group effort, especially considering that it’s not like we had rehearsed it or anything.

My room was on a party floor, but I didn’t hear any noise, probably because partiers and filkers keep compatible hours. The airplane noise from nearby O’Hare was fairly well muffed, too.

Not coming to Chambana? What's up with that?

In my case, I only have the money and the time and energy to go to so many cons. I was at OVFF and WindyCon, and I'll be going to Capricon in February, and I go to DucKon in the summer. A third con in one month is just too much.

I do understand that there are limits. Chambana is my 4th in six weeks, and that's really too many, but of the four, Windy was probably the most disposable, and it would have sucked to miss it. After all, I had been to the previous 25.
