My Lunacon Schedule

[sdelmonte]

Want to know what I'll be doing at Lunacon? Look here. I will have the chance to be on panels with some good friends, and I get a nice variety of topics. The LJ-based RPG program was in fact my idea, though I can't predict it will get a large crowd. The Year in Comics panel is a tradition for me, and I have to figure out what I would like to highlight (or lowlight). And it's interesting that this is my 11th Lunacon, meaning that I really can talk about the ghosts of past cons.

Also, please note that the Funny Things (aka batyatoon and ladymondegreen will be at either 7 or 7:30 pm on Saturday night - we are still getting clarification.

Lastly, if you are planning to join us for Kosher Konspiracy dinner Friday night, I will be sending an e-mail today or tomorrow, and we will need to begin at 7 pm since I have a panel at 8 pm (as is my tradition). If you aren't sure I have your addy, please send it along. Thanks.

I'm not going.

But I have a question regarding conning and Saturdays. Mostly; how do you do it?

[sdelmonte]

We bring all the food we need for the weekend, leave the bathroom light on in the room, use stairs (which is easy at a four story tall hotel), either get a non-electronic key or have a non-Jew let us into the room, and otherwise not do the things we don't do otherwise with computers and lights and so on. Since the panels are small, we don't have to worry about using microphones (though not everyone says that's even a problem).

We do lose out on some of the things we'd have at home like hot meals and attending services (though we did manage to have services a few times in the past when more Orthodox friends attended). But we manage to keep the Sabbath and enjoy the con. It helps that the con is in a hotel and that we don't have to travel and so on. (We could never go to the NYCC, for instance, because it's in a convention center.)

And I have this odd sense that Bing once asked me this, too.

We're nosy gentiles.

Actually, I had no idea really what the rules are, and prefered asking you out right. Thank you!

I expect my friends to be nosy. Or rather, curious.
