Getting Ready for Farpoint 2016
Feb. 11th, 2016 09:04 amToday is my make sure the house is in order and pack day for Farpoint. The house is in pretty good condition so that’s a plus. But there is laundry to be done and puppets to be found and I need to make sure I have all my stands for the puppets.
I have gotten getting ready for a convention down to a couple of systems depending on how we are getting to the convention and how many of us are going. Also which convention it is plays a role.
Farpoint is one of our regular conventions. We know the hotel, the con committee, and our food choices in the area. We have a basic knowledge of when some activities that we participate in are going to happen. I have an idea who is going to be there and if I owe anyone anything.
Caroline has been attending Farpoint since she was about 3 months old. The first one she attended was when we got snowed in at the hotel. Next year will be the 15th anniversary of that specific event. She has a group of friends she hangs with and activities that she likes to do. It’s one of those conventions that I can hand her a room keycard and a meal schedule and we are good to go. Everyone knows who she is and she knows that she has to be on her best behavior or it will get back to me.
Packing for this one is simpler than packing for DragonCon to which I measure all other conventions in terms of complexity and just trying to make space.
So off I go to deal with getting ready for the convention. It will be interesting if I can keep the web log going once a day since this is the first convention since the new year.
I am grateful for things that allow me to pack easily.
