SCaRE 2011 Post!!!
My weekend..
THursday I took off from work at 8 when they forceflexed me out.. and I didnt care. I wanted to be ON the road and in Houston asap! :) the drive was ok.. not great because it was at night but hey! I was taking my time.. am NOT getting pulled over!!! So I called Jon-Dad. I TRIED calling Kelley-mom but for some reason it kept getting a busy signal.. I figured shes probably in Iceland. :) So I talked to Jon-Dad for a long while about how his life is.. how mine is.. there was no mention of the Stickfigure with no soul which was good. Oh.. adn COmics. :) We talked Comics.. :) that lasted about an hour. :) I got to SCaRE and found the Memberrelations room. where Trysha DuBois, the Coord Lead was. we hung there for a while as she got these "COMEFUCKME" Heels as a present. :) She then introduced me as "This is my bitch for the weekend" to everyone. :) It was.. amusing. They asked how I got THAT Cushy job and I responded "oh.. instead of getting paid? She promised to find me a cute hot gay boy to fuck me!" *lol* 4 minutes later.. SAID CUTE HOT GAYBOY walked in.. he is from Dallas.. and his name is.. Adam I think? but.. hes like.. 22 or something.. so.. no.. HOWEVER.. One of the other Gay Dallasites was all "Hey Billy.. Meet Adam. Hes your sacrifice" and there was much laughter.. but I think I scared Adam.. cause he avoided me the rest of the Con. *ROTFLMAO* I just wanted to go.. "I have chest hair older than you, child!" *lol* Met other people.. had fun talking to people.. was outside smoking and reading (cause I do feel very.. socially ackward.. even around other cammies.. and there was a guy smoking.. who was not part of the convention. he listened to us.. and once it calmed down.. he.. somehow as we were trying to explain the game and our diversity in people.. he made it sound like we were all.. trailerpark trash.. and in an argument with Kevin Bryan.. somehow changed the fact that we have all walks of life in our org.. it became about how gay marriage is against the chuch and God and how I was somehow a wrong deviant.. I left at that point. *sigh*
Friday.. I GOT TO PLAY MAGE!!! :) it was AWESOME!! I was part of the group that was saving people and helping them wtih dealing with trauma.. not the "SMASHGRABKILL" Group. :)
Connor will have a story to post later. :)
Friday night was Masquerade. It was good and I'll have alot to say on that.. Ricky as Lord Nameless was just utterly wonderful doing security. :) I would not have had the patience ICly to stand there all night long checking people!!! thats dedication! And he is cloning himself it seems!! Evan was playing "Mini N" or something! *Lol* The Elders meeting had some boring interaction. and WEston had to leave for asec OOCly.. leaving his glasses that Ryan picked up and put on his "llama hand" which I got a pic of.. "LLAMAELDER!" *lol* We had an infiltrator.. the Archon FREAKED about that.. mighty Elders.. who let in the badguys. *Lol* After that.. what made MY Game.. was Pika's elder "Toreador" (I dont know the truth ICly).. coming to Kieron and through gritted teeth.. as if the words BURNED in his mouth to say it: "Kieron.. I cant believe I'm about to say this.. but I need your help.." At which point.. I was on board.. he could have been riding into the maws of hell itself and Kieron would ahve gone..
On that note.. (and Neka will probably respond with another yelling at me).. I am REALLY REALLY tired of tremere being treated like white trailer park trash in this chronicle. There were so many auction items for Masquerade that were fantastic!! BUT: "Not for Tremere." As in that was the stipulation for learning it. The PC teacher would not teach to tremere. Not Assamites or anything.. cause the wizards are the ones to be afraid of.. not the clan of oh.. I dunno.. DIABLARISTS or anything.. and I've been doing my damndest to get people to accept that we arent ALL evil assholes that want to take over. Hell.. we dont have enough PLAYERS to be a real power. *sigh* Janeka kinda went off on me when I was upset about it on Saturday cause we get all this magic that we can buy.. uh.. not really.. cause 1: its still an exp sink.. and 2: most of them are high to top approval anyway. and thats just the OOC specs involved.. IC specs involved range from "Cant use in public" to "caught revealing it exists means tribunal by the clan". and the really GOOD powers are removed from play.. (Focused Mind.. Gods I want that).
So anyway.. thats the story on that.
There were minor drama things behind the scenes on the Coord side but I cant talk about it. Part of being the minion is being soundboard to any and all who need it. :) But I will say it was nothing that 5 minutes of venting didnt cure so I figure it was a great con! :)
We had no.. NO Donations for hospitality.. uh.. Member Relations.. so.. on Friday morning.. Me and Trysh got into her card, went to Costco, using my membership, and got all the supplies that we stocked it with. thats not to say that we were not told that SOMEONE would donate.. but whomever these people were just.. dropped the ball.. Trysh paid out of her own pocket for that which I was like "you should be reimbersed for that shit! This is NOT your job!!!" I wish I had more money.. I would have helped. :( So we loaded up her car to the max, got it back and set up and no one was the wiser.
once again.. the con leads do not understand the concept of "Drink water at least once every hour". *grrrr* Jess Fazio is especially guilty of this!!!
Anyway.. I helped set up requiem before trying to go to a Tremere thing that never happened cause eveyrone wanted to play Requiem.. and we had.. uh.. about 4 or 5 players of Tremere there? Im sure that will cause repercussions later. I got to meet a cute gay geek guy named.. (I kid you not) Michael Shanks. Spelled that way. but once again.. my physical appearance got in the way of my flirting. *sigh* I chatted with almost everyone during the afterparty which Me and Trysh set up in one of the con rooms. all loaded w/ alcohol and a cammie bartender for control. I brought down my back massager which was a hit.
I had one moment of Dark Billy.. I had alot to drink and.. Brent Collins did something Saturday that pissed me off.. and then tried to be all "Buddy buddy" with me at the party. He touched me and I rather loudly told him to back the fuck off. Trysh was standing there with the group and I dont think she'd ever seen me yell before. She told him to go away. he did. and that was it. Mood swing over. Back to fun. :)
There was somehting that I am really proud of: During the party, one of the visiting region guys (I think hes from Florida) got a call from his wife. there were three guys (noncammies and not part of the convention) who were trying to.. harrass/persuade her to get INTO THEIR CAR with them and take off! The party.. the men of the SCR.. it was like a WALL of Men all storming out to the parking lot following the guy!! I was one of them but I turned around and I see about 30=40 guys come FLOODING out the doors of the hotel to defend one of our own.
It! WAS! EPIC! AWESOMENESS!!!
around 5:30 the party winded down.. and it was time to close up shop.. this time I had Duckie from Louisiana helping me carry stuff up to the Con Ops. that was good.. my muscles (what muscles??) were starting to huuuuurt... *lol*
I got kissed by ONE PERSON the entire con.. and it was a WOMAN!! :( another Mage player. *lol*
I got to hang with lots of cool cammies.. I discovered that people do know who I am.. that was a shocker. People were able to identify me as Billy. I didnt know I was well known. If you go back and look at Cammie pics from the very beginning.. there is like.. 2 pics of me as Seiki (Old Changeling). none of Dierter, Aaron, Kotaro, or of me doing anything conrelated. well.. there are two of me taken BY me. so when Im smoking and reading outside a con, its cause I dont feel.. connected to everyone. I was explaining to Trysh: "I do this (Minion work) because if I dont, I dont know what i would do. I dont know how to socially interact with some of them."
So.. on Sunday.. closing ceremonies.. we made money. :) We packed things up. People went out to eat. I was too ashamed to admit that I didnt budget properly and couldnt afford food so I made the trek back to Austin very quietly and came home.
I have learned from this and will plan better for Grand Masquerade. :)
Where I will be Aleshas bitch. :)
It will be a blast! :)
