Ropecon is here

The annual 3000-person role playing convention "Ropecon" is here, and I am, as usual, working there. I'll be moblogging from there, so watch this space if you can't come...

Stuff to remember when you are attending Ropecon

• Tape Survivor, since you're not going to get much time to get home anyway.
• Buy fridge full of food, since you will not have time to go shopping.
  • But buy only food you can eat also later next week, in case you don't come home until Sunday.
• Pack:
  • Go board
  • A change set of clothes
  • A towel (which is also usable as an impromptu larp outfit, especially if you wish to roleplay yellow mold.)
  • Juggling balls
  • Emergency snack food
• Take out the trash, because by god it's gonna smell on Sunday evening otherwise
• Clean the apartment, in case you get ad-hoc sleepover guests
• Find good shoes, 'cos you're gonna be standing the whole three days
• Charge all electronic equipment, especially the camera.
  • Don't forget to take the camera charger.
• Load up on cash, because the local ATMs might run out of it.
• Be sure you're well rested, since there is no rest in the 'con.
