Confusion 2000
| 
Jan 14 21:00 UTC 2000 |
Once again, it's time for the item to discuss Confusion, the area's
oldest annual SF convention. I think it's the weekend of January 21-23.
We had thought about going this year, until we found that Leslie has
an audition that Sunday. Talking loud at room parties, and being around
unpredictable quantities of smoke, don't go with a singing audition.
So we'll skip it, once again. But *some* of you are certainly going,
no?

The Stilyagi Air Corps should have a web page with all the
relevant information, and no I don't know the URL.

Yes, but every year, posting the same URL?
Folks can't read the previous year's item?

Overall, ConFusion was a good con. I had something to do on Friday and Sunday,
which is unusual. The hotel was great. I loved the haggis. Chuck's Bubbleman
costume was also very memorable.

I was there for both the "carpet of bubbles" in the dance hall, and
the jump into the pool. Those were mong the high points of the con
for me!

Unfortunately, I missed both of those events. I've seen the pictures on
Chuck's web sit though.
I enjoyed the aftermath though. After Chuck changed, Tomak ran up wearing a
strip of bubble wrap as a cape, calling himself Bubble Boy. It was funny
watching him roaming the pool are looking for Bubble Man after Chuck told him
that Bubble Man was gone.

I lived with him for a year, so I'm quite desensitized to him.

he said some things in a truth or truth game at the northfield hilton
which inspired me to avoid him after that. glad to hear he may have
settled down some.

Well, since the Confusion discussion seems to have settled down:
What's this news about Contraption?

Contraption is cancelled this year, due to poor management of the hotel. The
con chair decided to just cancel this year's con and prepare for next year's.

apparently the hotel changed management last week or the week before
and refused to honor several terms in the contract.

Like their "no room party" policy, which would've driven a lot of people away
from the con.
