FtR has nice stuff
robinrahne 9:28pm
Nice pricey stuff.
catnik 9:28pm
true
robinrahne 9:28pm
And yes, I fought for the Midrealm dragons.
catnik 9:28pm
I still think they're assholes for not making you "full"
catnik 9:28pm
you do a ton of work getting that place in order & running
robinrahne 9:29pm
It's complicated. There's bad blood between a number of them and my husband, and I don't know if I'd accept full status even if offered.
earldebuke 9:29pm
You were awesome, Rahne
catnik 9:29pm
It's nice you could fight on the best side for Pennsic 50
earldebuke 9:29pm
LOL No biases
robinrahne 9:30pm
And yes, Shady, you're on the list so you would have seen some of those updates.
catnik 9:30pm
totally objective
catnik 9:31pm
I was offered a place in a different camp if I want it
robinrahne 9:31pm
Oh, Shady, our encampment culture is changing. Children are now welcome.
catnik 9:31pm
yay!
robinrahne 9:31pm
Who tried to poach you, Catnik?
catnik 9:31pm
well, not mean like that
catnik 9:32pm
more an offer because I had a really rough Pennsic last year
catnik 9:32pm
missed this year
catnik 9:33pm
but it was Elizabeth (Ashley, on FB), which was a nice offer to consider if things do continue to be stressful
shadylady 9:35pm
I have seen that, Rahne! We're still not -quite- in a place to return but I miss it.
robinrahne 9:38pm
shadylady 9:38pm
.... that.... is not an entirely bad idea.
catnik 9:40pm
yeah, Pennsic is a weird place
catnik 9:40pm
I am often phoneless
robinrahne 9:41pm
Phoneless wouldn't work this year -- the entire Pennsic Book was only available online unless you paid extra for a print copy.
robinrahne 9:41pm
And they didn't make enough print copies.

:thunder_cloud_and_rain:
robinrahne 9:41pm
Very very frightening, Mr D.
earldebuke 9:43pm
Galelio
shadylady 9:43pm
I have some feelings about creating a NEED for phones like that.
shadylady 9:44pm
I get the economics of it but.... there's Anachronism and there's ANACHRONISM.
catnik 9:45pm
yeah
catnik 9:45pm
Mind, phone was a LIFESAVER in edinburgh
shadylady 9:46pm
Oh, no arguement!
catnik 9:46pm
Google maps is very good at telling you bus schedules
robinrahne 9:46pm
The phone thing got even more complicated because international attendees didn't have enough data on their systems. On top of that, the Coopers decided to change the password on the Wi-Fi every day, and you had to pay to find out the new password.
earldebuke 9:46pm
Ok. That was a close one
robinrahne 9:46pm
Big boom?
shadylady 9:46pm
Are you kidding me?!?!
catnik 9:46pm
😕
shadylady 9:46pm
FOUL PLAY.
earldebuke 9:47pm
Big
robinrahne 9:47pm
Nope, not kidding.
robinrahne 9:47pm
It was bad planning all around.
robinrahne 9:47pm
If you need to hide under a couch with the dog, Mr. D, we'll understand.
shadylady 9:47pm
Talk about getting screwed with your pants on.
earldebuke 9:48pm
More like if I vanish I don't want folks to think I'm being rude 😜
earldebuke 9:49pm
Power might go out
