Capricon 31 Redux

 Well, that was enjoyable despite the fact that I had to work the anime/film room while it was plagued by a defective DVD player (which caused subtitles to stall between episodes or even chapters; the DVDs in question were perfectly okay on other BlueRay players) and that far too much indulgence in food and/or booze caused my weight to swell 5 pounds despite the fact that I usually lose weight during SF conventions. 

Next con? Less over-indulgence and more participation. I'm not planning to volunteer at Anime Central (I did sp for Security/IRT three years from 2003-5; I'm not going through that again anytime soon), and if I find the time and/or scratch to go to Duckon I'm only working it someone begs and offers to drag me to a good local restaurant at least once during that weekend. I know the layout of the Hyatt Regency Woodfield well enough from past Windycons to know where X leads into Y, and one good thing about the Woodfield is that there's far less ground there for a staffer to cover than at Acen. 

In case anyone's perusing photos on Facebook of the MIB Pirate Party (and a big thanks to those of you who voted us best party for the fifth straight year), I am indeed the short, unshaven goof with the shot cup "bandoleros". I sincerely hope that the photo of me assuming the Craig Ferguson insincere "CBS Cares" steepled prayer hands has been reproduced somewhere by now.
