It’s ribbon time again!

[katster]

Sorry I’ve not been around to update the blog. Life just has eaten me alive, and it’s been easier to keep the twitter feed up to date. At some point, I’ll sit down and try to catch y’all up, but this post is because Baycon is next weekend, so I went and picked up my ribbon order today.

This is the collection of this year’s ribbons:

1. Yes, that’s my feet.
2. A couple of these are special: the green one is for gophers, the one that reads “Ascended Master” is for those who catch me in the right place.
3. The Gopher Local #42 is a joke from last year’s hoax newsletter about the gophers (convention volunteers) going on strike. So I figured, the gophers need a union. And of course, it’s science fiction, so the Local # had to be 42.
4. My streak of bad Baycon/bacon puns continues.
5. I can’t *wait* to see the reactions to “this ribbon intentionally left blank”
6. White and silver are hard to tell apart. (For the record, Gopher and winning move are printed with white, left blank in silver
7. Is it Baycon yet?

As I said, if you’re at Baycon and you want one of these ribbons, just hunt me down and I’ll give it to you. In fact, just like last year, I’ll be indiscrimately handing out the katster ones.

I wish I could make it, I want a Katster one XD

[weirdodragoncat.livejournal.com]

Neat! I'll be on the lookout for you then. :)

I'll give you a hint. I have a bad habit of making sure doors don't get away, particularly in the morning hours. (That won't gain you Ascended Master, though.)

Is there any in particular you want me to save for you?

I definitely would like 'oh shiny' and 'the ribbon intentionally left blank' but will be pleased with any you choose to part with. I'll be in my usual location...info desk (unless they let me out of the cage to wander!)

Alright, I'm sure I'll swing by infodesk at some point or another during con.

So you'll get ribbons. :)

So, I met katster.
Do I get XP for this?

Nope, gotta learn to use Vista like everyone else with a new PC. {grin}

[katster.livejournal.com]

Hee.

Naw, I meant the *other* XP. At least, hopefully, they don't have to kill me. %)

I believe you get experience points for gathering treasure as well, so as long as you hand out the ribbons quick enough, no need for any party to get medieval on you.

[katster.livejournal.com]

Mwah.

Anyway, what's Wednesday look like in terms of helping me out with a test of my webcam? I'll do some prep work Tuesday, but I kinda want to have somebody handhold me through the process of fiddling with ustream and making other stuff work.

Welcome to FAPA, by the way.

[katster.livejournal.com]

Ah, you probably got it faster than me, 'cause you probably can't send to the UK via media mail.

I'm still waiting for mine, but I spent a couple days baffling over the paradox.

But thanks. :)
