Topic	Andy Now Does Yet More Andy Nouns [ANDYMAN] Vol. 1: Self-deprecating, contained!
BlueCrystalTear 08/26/18 9:51:24 PM #103:	`Convention Update: Saturday & Sunday (2/2)` I did nothing in Tabletop - not really ideal for a solo person who doesn't already do it to try it in that setting. I didn't bother with any of the viewings since I can watch stuff on the Internet when I want to. I got lynched on Day One in a game of Werewolf because I pointed out two guys talking privately. The werewolves jumped on me and I had to vote for myself as Village Idiot. This plus my experiences here at B8 make it pretty clear that Mafia and its relatives are not for me. What I'm most happy about is my ability to talk to people, especially women. I was far more openly social and was chatting it up with whoever. Didn't ask any to coffee or anything (the four reasons were: moving, not from here, married, and boyfriend) but how am I supposed to know those things until I start up a conversation? My confidence is way up and that's huge for a nerd like me. The bad thing was that certain parts weren't well-managed, but it's hard to do that properly. I remember there was an "open to the public" meeting a few months ago. I asked on the Facebook event page where it was and got no response. It most certainly was not inside the P.O. Box that was the listed address. It seemed from the head geek's notes in the program that he expected things to align on their own as he did things. They don't. Everything was fine despite that - they just needed more accessibility to management, more panels, and not having the best panels up against each other. The most memorable thing was that Belly Laugh Theater panel and making the movie alongside. It'll come out at this convention next year. Things like that rarely happen so publicly around here so it was great to be a part of the movie and mingle with the cast and crew, however small and indie. Step count was 6900 yesterday, so yes, I got my 70K again. Happy about that, too. On the overall, if you want to get the most from a convention, do whatever unique things it has to offer. In my case, I was getting involved with them movie to the point that I ignored much of what was going on in the main programming hall, because they oddly had the best of the few panels at the same time as the big events like the masquerade and the MC Chris concert. Did I get my money's worth? 100%. If you go to a convention, mingle. Break out of your shell. Have fun. Don't just stay in one place. That's my advice. I plan to make a collage with stuff from this because I had such a good time and I have the goodies to do it... If you want to AMA about the con, ask away! --- BlueCrystalTear \| GNT BB4 Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner 3DS 4356-4163-4781 \| (((FREE HUGS))) \| You're living your own life.
