DogCon 3: Day 1, Part 1
Last night’s party was a blast. Free candy…free drinks…three rockin’ bands including the all female Led Zeppelin tribute band, Zeperella…both male & female hotties serving drinks & candy…lots of great conversation…Stupid Human Tricks…and best of all, no hangover today!
By 9:00 this morning, while I was eating a free breakfast here at the hotel, Grace, Sharon, Arcadia and the critters were off to one of the famous DogCon Pet LARPs. Yes, a LARP for animals and their people. They are actually pretty fun and run several times a day during the con.
Speaking of pets, I’m told that the con expects several thousand humans and TWICE that number of pets.
And now, my schedule for today…
11:00 am – 1:00 pm: Running Toon game “The House That Jerks Built”
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm: Lunch & Dealer’s Room
4:00 pm – 5:00 pm: Seminar (panel): “Neglected Games”
5:00 pm – 6:00 pm: Seminar (watching): “Dungeons & ?”
6:00 pm – 7:30 pm: Dinner and a shower
8:00 pm – midnight: Playing in a game “The Lost Valley”
Midnight – whenever: a nightcap & chatting
Oh, yeah, you know how last year the con staff had 6 GenCon attendees wearing camera helmets and we could see what they saw on bigass screens here? Well, they upped the ante this year with 10 people wearing helmet cams for general viewing and 6 more all cammed up for individuals to watch and control (for $25.00 an hour). You sit in a booth with a large monitor, a webcam and a microphone & speakers. You then tell your cam slave (yes, they call them that) where to go. Your face and voice are showing on a iPad they wear around their necks, so you can interact with folks at GenCon. This is, of course, totally fucking cool.
Anyway, I’m outta here. More bloggage later. Oh, and check out my updates on Facebook.
