IronCon 2013
Xenthos

I just want to say: Thank you to everyone who was there, for helping make it an extraordinarily fun weekend.
There are far too many highlights to recount (and some which probably shouldn't be), but Estarra has a ton of pictures that she might be persuaded to share once she's recovered from the plane trip home.
Some of the great moments include (and only a small sample thereof) Shikari and Nocht, period. I wasn't expecting Nocht to be present, and he is just as silent as his character... except on some of the game's features where he is extraordinarily passionate (in a great way). And I've never been able to stop raving about Shikari!
Sojiro gave an excellent tour of the Strip pre-Con and we got to turn down hundreds of offers for all kinds of services and scams designed to part us from our wallets- as well as finding the food court on the Strip where one can actually eat at a reasonable rate.
Krellan is confusing as all heck.
Kelly, Xena, and Knorrith are all incredibly entertaining and fun people who kept me involved and out of my shell throughout. Perhaps out of my comfort zone a few times as well (here's looking at you especially, Krellan).
Wuy suggested heading out early one morning, so we got to experience walking through Vegas in July, with a brief stop at Farmer Boy's for breakfast and milkshakes. And of course, one cannot leave out Skye, who quietly taps away on his keyboard until engaged in conversation and then he's all in.
As far as the rest of the Administration goes: It was so awesome to see just how much these individuals have invested and care about the game, even when they don't really have the time to be visibly active, but I can't claim those stories!

If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Tonight amidst the mountaintops
And endless starless night
Singing how the wind was lost
Before an earthly flight
Seconded. I'll be living in Honolulu in 2014. Please?

Some of my highlights:
- Mad props to Xena for driving to IronCon in 100+ degree weather, for six hours, while her car AC crapped out halfway. Also thanks to the Aetolian who fixed it, and so much appreciation to Xena for driving us everywhere and being way too nice about it!
- Thanks to Estarra/Roark for the powwow on combat changes. I appreciated the insight and opportunity to give some feedback. And generally thanks to all the Admin for listening to our woes and soliciting suggestions. (I await my 50m-essence zap curio!)
- Before I left, I made it one of my IronCon goals to troll-raid the Gods from the hotel/estate, but I am pretty sure that I was out-trolled by far. And it was great. Damn dat Cheshire Cat.
- Thanks to everyone that had to suffer uncomfortable intimacy with me in the backseat, but we all know that we liked it.
- It was really awesome to meet Terentia, who's a super fun and genuine person, despite killing my cult and attempting to toadcurse me. And then maggoting me.
- Thanks to Shuyin and Krellan for teaching us craps, and damn Shuyin for leading me astray. Also thanks for the lessons in griefing, and the sweet hotel room! I am also convinced that Krellan is a spy. And it was an excellent moment to help Shuyin get free water in the gay club. It is harder than it sounds.
- Xena is the best, for many reasons, even if she did brutally kill me and then troll me in real life. (It was awesome.)
Thanks all for an amazing weekend, and for a great birthday! Looking forward to something next year!
I was not entirely sober.

That bartender did not prefer my particular wares, but apparently others did. Especially once you, ah, classed me up (down).
