Ah. I was sort of vexed that I missed the MacroFurs dinner, seeing as the food at Houlihan’s (or whatever Irish-sounding joint it was) was apparently fabulous.
As for the MFF-staff-dinner, I was actually discussing that with Crim for a bit. I think resurrecting the old Sushi Dinner came up, but someone would have to find a place sufficiently large around the new hotel. Not entirely impossible, I’d wager.

Well, there’s nothing written anywhere that requires you to work every con you go to. I mainly do it because if I don’t I just get really, really bored.
The MFF Party was really just kinda sitting around and shooting the shit. Like I said, it was woefully unadvertised, and you were one of many folks I failed to get word to. My apologies!
The dinner with a bunch of MFF people there was actually the AC staff dinner on Sunday night, which they hold for all staff and volunteers. It’s a fabulous idea that I’d love to see MFF duplicate.

There’s probably about a dozen places I could have helped out. Some of them I didn’t even know about until after the fact. But then again, I was sort of avoiding the work. Should I duck the slings an arrows of outrageous fandom? 🙂
…wait, there was an MFF ‘party’? And a dinner? How come no one told ME? I missed three dinners…not to mention the bloody Supersponsor Luncheon!
*break down in tear* 😉

No, con suite! 😉
(That’s a bold faced lie, honestly–I AM THE CON SUITE COWBOY, and I can handle anything!)
(As long as I have about three dozen gophers.)

In reply to datahawk. I don't know Zenwolf, but I do agree that we have a BURNING NEED for more security volunteers. :) Also spots in consuite, perhaps registration, definetly A/V tech crew and stagehands...lots of spots.

The only time I was up to 5am with newsletter business was when the hot water heater on the third floor burst after I had finished the next day’s newsletter… then I did a special edition.
Duncan, have Takaza drop me a line to kibitz on this…
