Was that a convention?

Brief-ish post, since I'm quite fatigued. Had breakfast and went to Genghiscon, then didn't get anything else to eat except sweets until I got home. I played some board games, most of them for the first time, and hopefully expanded my brain somewhat before it called quits.

There really wasn't much else to Genghiscon that I saw - and good luck to anybody else trying to locate it today. Extensive building sites around Trinity College and NO SIGNS made getting in a matter of guesswork. I think I made it there by around 11am and the convention itself closed at 4 pm, so that was $15 to play boardgames and get a laminated badge. If not for the postings by a friend who arrived at the college when the convention began on Friday, I wouldn't have known anything (the building) was happening.

It was good to catch up with the usual suspects.

You didn't miss a whole lot on Sunday; all I did was play board games. I didn't mind that but there might almost not have been a convention. I'm told it was more active on Saturday; book stalls and so on but I'd say it was much smaller than usual - and it's never large! - possibly due to the barricaded look of the college and the lack of organisation, i.e. knowing that the building was happening, arranging signs so people knew where to go and so on. The boardgaming was off in a separate building so one wasn't aware of anything else happening while gaming.

Ah well. Swancon in three months.
