* The Midnight have a countdown timer up. New music maybe? Hrmm...
* I am trying to avoid talking about the current Worldcon stuff due to my own experiences with Worldcon organizers and also what I know about con running. I'd wind up rambling about how con rules work while using Russian nesting dolls as a metaphor and maybe sing the intro to Yakko's Universe, and then tell the Snipe Hunter story. After I'd sit and stare at a wall and wonder why the hell I didn't walk away years sooner.
Also, I am keeping it firmly filed as 'drama I will only follow if I can do so easily'. I am not running things down or watching twitch streams about it... just no, I do have better things to do.

It's a shame how often I hear the "why didn't I walk away sooner" from people engaged in these sorts of organizations. That sort of engagement is so important, but it burns people out so badly.
