I'm back from Arisia. Got in around midnight-30. Good con. Report while it's still in my mind, then hopefully I sleep.
Friday: Dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emergent and penguinkraft - yummy specialty pizzas from the same place I went for Saturday dinner last year with the cool couple I met playing Zendo and then bumped into again this summer at the dance. Hours of Encore, fun, but a bit tiring. Cheap Chinese and hanging out with pixel and some people met during Encore and friends thereof. Small World moment, was two degrees from one via someone on my BBS. Failed to find a floor I could crash on; went to Anime room and attempted to snooze there. Got a few hours of eyes-closed lens time, but no more than 20 minutes of actual sleep. Was restful, though; I felt better when I got up.
Saturday: No panels. Lots of gaming all day. Gaming was, in retrospect, almost exclusively of the pyramidal sort. I finally learned Icehouse, and played surprisingly little Zendo. Watched miniatures pod-racing, and a few other things. Saw the raptor in the Con Suite. Said hello briefly towildelven and somehedgehog. Some good gamage with mnemex and others included a couple Ice Towers games where I seemed to get the hang of the game, finally. Watched a superhero board/card game where the objective is to be the first one dressed - titled something like "Fashion Victim" Ate very many Pop Tarts in the Looney Pop Tart Lounge. Discovered a Subway and had some real food. Went to Rocky; had good time, shot voice to hell. Hit about 95% of my lines/visuals. Got a brief backrub. Went to filk really late, caught some very enjoyable songs before it broke up, got to enjoy and share my Tully, got to taste quite spicy chocolate (want more of that), got some cuddling, and another backrub. Back to anime room for about 2 hours of nap.
Sunday: Did poorly in Ice Towers tournament. Caught tail end of filk one-shots. Enjoyed ice-cream sundae, although my wrists didn't enjoy preparing it. Nice idle chatter. Sat in on bits of "Missing Masters", an incredibly fun D&D module I'd played at Vericon last year. Got some more cuddling. Attempted to convince DM of "Missing Masters" to come to Noncon. (Huh - that sounds like I cuddled with someone I didn't. Don't assume anything from sentence order - the order's accurate, but misleading. I'm tired, I'm not going to fix it) Reminisced about old computer games like "Hunt the Wumpus" Finally left at around 7:30.
Drive: Was really tired. Fell asleep for about a half hour in a rest area. Had dinner there, then played a good game of Ms. Pacman (including a perfect first level); final score just shy of 100k. Made it back in one piece.
Somehow, I failed to obtain *any* ribbons for my badge. Was hoping for "Willing backrub victim" among others. I'm sure I've missed stuff and people, but it should be a decent overview.
