Penguicon

[dagibbs]

On the whole I had a good time at Penguicon. It was, not unexpectedly, a somewhat different crowd from the other Detroit conventions -- but a goodly set of my friends from the Detroit area were there, and I had a good time hanging out with them.

• Meals with friends, including thatguychuck, jeffreyab, and elizilla
  
• Playing with, building with and other wise doing stuff with the rube-goldberg-device construction kit. A few pictures: device, closeup1, closeup2, closeup3
  
• Playing slot cars, on a track in the Confusion party suite. Track supplied by Dennis. The track looked like: track1 track2 track3
  
• Riding pillion on the back of Kathy's Vstrom. I haven't ridden pillion in many, many years, and it was kinda neat.
  
• Getting to ride Kathy's TDM. It is a fun little bike. Well, it's an 850cc bike, but compared to what both Kathy and I are used to, it is a fun little bike.
  
• Learning how to play Chrononauts. Another fun Looney Labs game.
  
• Dancing with Kirsten, and later Sandy. Though the music was just so-so, I enjoyed the dancing with friends.
  
• Dinner with, and jeffreyab's hospitalty. Thank you Jeff.
  

Note: riding pillion on Kathy's TDM was NOT one of the highlights of the weekend.

P.S. If someone wants to point the track photos out to Dennis, please feel free.

Now, to catch up on all the LJ that I've fallen behind on.

*sigh* commenting on my own posting...how sad is that?

Pretty sad.

Yep. Downright pathetic, in fact.

Thanks, I am reassured of my patheticness.
