WisCon - Care and feeding reminders.
May. 24th, 2012 12:05 pmHello! It's WisCon time again. We're actually already settled into our room, where we will probably be chilling for the next several hours as we traveled all night.
First, I will be extra easy to recognize this year... as the first year, I have a light-up Tinkerbell charm I'll be wearing when I'm out and about. This one's even in color. I'll be wearing a black straw hat with a long scarf, or floppy black and white print hat. I will usually have a cane with me. I will be wearing a collar. The fairy pin is there to minimize the amount of "Wait, is that...?" that people have to do.
If you see me and want to say hi, I would deeply appreciate it if you introduce yourself and tell me where I might know you from, or where you know me from. Failing that, please don't take it personally when I very obviously look at your name tag before greeting you back. My brain, it does not face well. Two of my siblings changed their hairstyles and the other got glasses right before Easter and it was chaos. I am generally down to hug, as long as it's post-(re)-introduction and your intentions are well-telegraphed.
As with last year, I'm here as part of a group. This year we're making a special effort not to split the party, so drinking and dining invitations aren't mine to accept alone.
Anyway... whoo, WisCon!
