A Brief First Report from Owlcon

[omorka]

Just got home from the Cthulhu LARP (much thanks to teegarden and perkyshai for putting it on, along with the rest of their staff). Had far more fun this year, and actually got to be semi-useful, at least for a couple of scenes.

One of the other LARPers was very close to a seven-eighths scale model of bassfingers circa 1995. Similar hair and build, strikingly similar facial features, and a couple of the verbal mannerisms (including the tendency to repeat a word near the beginning of a sentence when slightly excitied or nervous). If he'd had a fedora, I'd've been worried! Didn't catch his name, unfortunately, but he sounded like he might be coming for the LARP at ApolloCon, so I might get to find out who he is there.

Glad to have ya there! :)

I'm sorry I was so very tired and out of it ... otherwise, I woulda pulled you aside before you disappeared and caught up with you. And I never even thought of trying to get a trademark scream out of you for the larp. ;)

'Sokay, but we really do need to catch up sometime! Preferably sometime when you haven't just spent the previous 36 hours prepping and running a LARP.

I really enjoyed that character, BTW - a very cool concept.

Glad you liked it so much. Er, which character did you end up getting?

This was the first year we assigned 'em out randomly. Worked pretty well, I think. Lot faster than previous years ...
