Did I just accidentally volunteer for con staff?
Last winter I decided that I'd been to enough conventions that it was probably time I start trying to contribute.

Anyway, what's the point of having a video camera if you don't use it? So I proceeded to rant about the mucking about in the space time continuum as well as welcome in Pi day.
