Both Diane (Kleidin) and myself are Senior Staff for DREAMATION, and can always use help with running the convention!  If  you'd like to volunteer, we'd need a commitment of 16 hours over the course of the convention (Thursday - Sunday) to cover your membership.  Volunteering also means you have access to the Staff Suite, so you'll be fed for the weekend as well.  Please drop me a PM if you're interested in volunteering, and we'll help you out!

If you're planning on attending or running something, post here, so we know to look for you!

Supposing I can get a ride there, I'd like to volunteer the sixteen hours on the basis that I'm so broke.  Also, is KR rocking the suite at this con and if so, can I sell myself to James for the low low price of some floor space on which to curl up and sleep?

Registration ends Friday Night!

Sign up here: www.dexposure.com/d2009i.html

Due to some last-minute cancellations, there are STILL some volunteer spots available in working Con Suite!  If you're interested, please contact me ASAP at .  If you don't prereg by Friday, we can't comp your badge, so be sure to send me an email before then!

Also - the complete schedule is up!  www.dexposure.com/d2009sched.html

... and due to a nasty flu / cold (I was bad enough I was hallucinating at one point), I couldn't make it this year.

My apologies for not being there, and I hope everyone who went had fun!

Good or bad hallucinations?

lol

Bet you it was like..Trainspotting hallucinations

That Baby on the ceiling always freaks me out, best anti-drug movie for me

Interview with Mike Smith!

Ack! Why do I always get stuck in this position!!  I sound like a total dork.

Mike, you run around the woods with your nose buried in a book while people around you beat each other with plumbing supplies and throw packets of birdseed at each other. Yeah, I'd say were ALL dorky... Lol

And now you are going to revert to type and be [strike]the Mike Smith Tank[/strike]  I mean an Ogre Brute.

Ok, a few ums, uhs, and ers, but overall I give you an A-, and my students told me that I was a tough grader.  You were good.

My only concern is that some folks are very selective in their extracurricular activities and don't wish to have them broadcasted all over the world (or the interwebs) for the sake of privacy.    Mike's interview was an informative perspective.  I think he sounded fine.

I thought it went well!

I laughed pretty hard at the tab comment (Raman = Mana). That was cute.

I didn't even know they were taping us! Had I known, I wouldn't have been slurpping down ramen!

I was trying so hard to stay out of the camera there... I look like a bear...in a wife beater...

KR made the paper again!

James owns a store?

James owns a store?

Yeah... he calls it his 'garage'.

haha thats kinda funny...

Ya know, I had heard that Knight Realms was "kind like a Renaissance Fair thing, without the spectators", but I didn't believe it.  Now I know!


....what a completely uninformative article.  I blame it on Walter Brownbridge.

--Skimmel

That's totally not what I told her... or at least it's a very dumbed-down version of it...

"Walter Brownbrige and Quinn Anthony, both of Philadelphia, enjoy a joke about Brownbridge's purchase of a cravate, while Vince Antignani, Sparta looks on. Antignani says Knight Realms "'is kind like a Renaissance Fair thing, without the spectators.'"


HAHAHAHAHA

I think my favorite part of the article is the insanely detailed account of the historical scenario of that Danish guy's game. It's just so weirdly at odds with the rest of the article which is obviously attempting to present things in very basic, layman's terms. I get the sense the reporter looked at that part of her notes and just thought, hmm, no real way to dumb that down, and just spilled it onto the page verbatim...

Look at the pictures Gambino and find the Lawlz.

The whole article is filled with simply missed details - the author didn't even bother to use basic logic when writing it.  (My personal favorite - a game that involves deep space combat, and terrain?  WTF?)

As humorous as it is, it's a sad thing that this is the kind of crap that gives gaming its social stigma.
