I've been so gung-ho (GI Joe!) about KamaCon I haven't even thought to ask what actually goes on during these gatherings.
Any veterans out there? Should I keep my Riff Raff costume at home?

Well, I've never been to one, but judging from the pictures I've seen, you hit eachother with swords and watch Utahns dance in orange tights.

Come prepared for the hula contest is all I have to say. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Given this crowd, I would say to expect lots of board games and talking. And I still intend to oversee an Eye of Argon reading.

Despite all this talk of hotel rooms, don't expect a whole lot of sleeping to go on.
And don't expect to see either myself or Annie indivdually until she physcially forces me to go.

Scrabble and swordplay.
Seriously, ken and I are bringing gear. Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
You're bringing the scrabble board then?
Hobbes Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
I'm sure someone who lives in the area will have a scrabble board.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
I think I'm going to start a quest for my funny.

CT wore a beard to a movie theater at the first WenchCon. At the second, I went in the hottub in my slip. I can't even claim I was drunk. Ophelia wore the beard at WenchCon II. T_Smith's floor show was also a highlight.
There are pictures. Linky, Mack?

I KNEW I should have phrased that better Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Oh, how sad! For some reason I thought you were coming. Well, then, it's agreed: Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
I thought I would be attending as well, but it turns out my grandparents are having their 50th anniversary shindig on the very days of the Con, and, well, I can't very much miss that. Stupid naked timing.

Arent you all afraid someone who shows up to one of these things is a crazy human eater? I mean, after all, we dont really know these people. And you always hear those stories about creepy internet stalkers.

My other hand was full of stuff I was taking to the meeting room. It was late. I was tired and didn't want my pic taken. I had no idea I was a lesbian. Whatever will my beloved say?
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
...that he's really gay?

Kama,
He lives in New Jersey. You should make a stop. Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
Oh I know! We can all watch Return of the King and I can give my Tolkien dissertation on the history of Numenor/Gondor, the fading High Elves, the White Tree as the last link to Heaven, and the hobbits as the ennoblement of the humble! Yay!
Don't worry, it should only be an hour or two long... Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
And then I we can all watch Rocky Horror Picture show and I can give my one-man-act performance of the audience participation script! Yay!
Don't worry... you're innocence won't be...erm.. WILL be.. preserved. Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Yah know, from all those pictures it looks like ya'll aren't all THAT innocent. This will be fun... *evil cackle*

Or could he make a day-trip to NYC? Or Philly? Hmmm, Taal?
Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
Ah yes, the Great horn of Gondor...

What days will you be in NYC/Philly, Kama?
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
OK I know someone has to have numbers on the # of people at the first wenchon, the # of people at the second wench con (which as I recall was much bigger) and the number of people at Endercon.
We are looking at nearly 50 people at Kamacon and I'm just wondering where that falls in in the grand scheme of history.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Endercon was a few hundred. (edit: based the the crowd "feeling" to be the same size as a church gathering) Heck, I ran into a guy I didn't date in Highschool. Even at that time, I remembered thinking that folks who post a lot on hatrack must be really weird.

I'm arriving in NYC late on Friday, 6th August, and am staying there until we head for Chicago.
And then I'll be in Philly from Sunday, the 22th (don't know what time yet, though) to maybe Wednesday. I'll continue to be in the area, though, I'll be staying with a friend in Lumberton, NJ, until Saturday.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Thank you, Telpy. *delighted* Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

She looks better IRL (which shouldn't really be a surprise, seeing as how she's Annie's sister and all ).

Just for the record:
<----------- Innocent. Very innocent.
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
Katie is indeed loverly.
There were, like, nine people at the first Wenchcon. It was just going to be Belle and me going to see TT together, then folks started saying "Hey, I wanna come to!" even though they lived far away. It was organic, and not really a staged 'event.' (Guest list: Olivet/Olivetta, Olivet's sister Judy, Belle, Fael, ladyday, kwsni, psycho Triad, Rakeesh, CT, and the esteemed Head Wench- Jenny Gardener. Mackillian got snowed in and couldn't make it )
WenchCon II had about ten wenches and about 15-20 young single males. Actually, that may have just been how it FELT. (Calvin Maker counts for at least two, since he popped No-Doze all weeekend).
I need to look at the WenchCon video again. I forgot the camcorder batteries so it's not as cool as it would have been if it hadn't had to be plugged into the wall. I should look. I may be forced to destroy it. *thinks* Maybe I'll just excerpt certain bits for blackmail purposes. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Pooka, you must have dated a lot. I ran into tons of guys and girls that I never dated in high school.
