Here we go
11 Jun 2015 07:32 pmTomorrow morning I'm heading off to run year two of Shatterdome Atlanta. I think we've done everything we need to do that can be done at this point. Badges need to be assembled (laminated, labeled, punched), but the labels, laminator, and badges are in 3 different places.
Last year felt pretty hectic, but part of that was not having enough staff and having a very unreliable person in charge of some important things. But all that needs to be done tomorrow is putting the badges together and putting t-shirts & posters from pre-order with the appropriate badges. Aside from, like, setting up screens and speakers and all that. Which obviously can't be done until we have the convention space. And the a/v equipment.
ALSO our hotel came up with a really cool menu for some themed drink renames. Either their graphic designer is a huge nerd or they're really bored. I'm pretty excited about that.
(Also also, if the convention is run by people who don't micromanage everything and trust the people they delegate to to get the job done, you're not frantically putting a schedule together 12 hours before the convention starts, not to speak of the program book!)
