Vividcon Report Part 1/4 - The work I've been doing

This is a four part con review. Part 1 looks at what I was doing work-wise for the con, part 2 talks about the panels and shows in general, part 3 talks about the people and part 4 will be all vid recs. Crazy.

So this was my first year of vividcon where I was on con staff. My god what a lot of work. I can't begin to comprehend how many hours of my life was taken up with vidding stuff this year on top of my currently hectic job.

The short version of this post is "I've been really fucking busy and if you've managed to get any social time with me over the last 6 months then congratulations because I've not had any time for it". Same goes for the con. If I saw you there and we hung out and had fun then count yourself among the lucky few. I was busy. A lot.

There is no way that I can mention all the wonderful people I met at the con. Everything that follows is just what I could recall late last night and is only the tip of the iceberg. In short, I met some great people and had a really good time.
