furtechWednesday was opening ceremonies: the con is official! Before that happened, though, I took a walk to the mall across the street and bought more stuff. Saw a beautiful English (Rough) Collie- her owner was quick to point out that English collies are smaller than their American counterparts. Very cute: almost mid-way between a Shetland Sheepdog and a (American) Rough Collie.

Back at the hotel, things were gearing up and more people arrived. I hung out in the Pawpet Show backstage area and generally tried to stay out of the way as I watched the crew made silk out of sow's ears.
Opening Ceremony was fun: leis were generously handed out to all-comers. Some found creative ways to make use of the extras...
That night I watched an amazing spectacle: the last rehearsal for the Pawpet Show, "End Tide". As I've come to enjoy: I love watching things I've made be brought to life on-stage. Definitely a highlight of the convention for me.
I am in awe of this crew: on top of big convention duties (virtually all of them had committee-level positions), they do a last rehearsal on Wednesday night. This set a new record-- ending after 8am Thursday. Yes-- they rehearse all night, catch a quick nap and then they resume doing their convention duties. Such a Herculean effort!

Date: 2013-09-16 01:59 am (UTC)Berlin will be interesting (as I've said countless times, I will dearly miss Magdeburg). Hopefully there will be an airport there by next August. I am looking forward to exploring Berlin (I've never been). As for the con, same crew so it should be great regardless of the venue change. This is the one convention I'd try to keep if I gave up all others.
Town & Country: ugh. I think I've blocked that from my consciousness.
To Henriekeg: Thanks for reading!
