And for what it’s worth, I was happy that you were one of the people I did get to chat to! Also, good on you for sharing your deeper feelings on the con experience and the anxieties/ups & downs that go with it, I’m usually not brave enough to 🙂

Sorry to hear you had such a mixed experience. I had my highs & lows emotionally at this con too, even if it wasn’t outwardly obvious, & didnt feel like I caught up with as many people as I’d have liked. I guess that’s always a danger at large cons. But I hope you have a better time at future ones ❤️

😂 I’ll do my best. Though no true con fun will be had until you guys start to arrive!

Ah annoying! Hope the work goes by quickly at least🤞 I made a longer holiday out of it this year so came early.

I can’t wait either - going to be a fun double con!! ☺️

Ah yes that makes sense I guess. Interesting!

Yeah I’ve never heard of “to croak” used before in the context of dying (only as in a frog croaking). Maybe it’s an archaic usage we’re unfamiliar with?

Oh yeah true - space-wise it’s not much more effective than a normal set of drawers on one side of the corner would be. With the added downside that you’d never be able to close the drawers!
