walbournStarting Thursday night, I've been down at SeaTac at Norwescon all weekend. I went to work Friday, but it was mostly a morale event and a going-away lunch for two people leaving my group--we are having a bit of an exodus right now with lots of people going to Intel since they are throwing around a lot of money and buzz for Larrabee. Norwes was a bit strange this year. The last few years it's mostly been a chance to hang out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
loree, datavore, beaq, jeliza, drakemonger, and rubylou, but JRS decided not to stay the weekend. jeliza and I did have a date Saturday night at the event, but it was a lot of time hanging out on my own as loree was busy running a number of panels.
I tried to make a point of gonig to some programming this year. The "game industry" content was again pretty weak (almost exclusively enthusiasts talking about MMOs and Table-top games), but it was fun to run intodaemonwolf attending as a pro for some of them. I really either need to get involved with the programming next year or skip the whole damn event.
I didn't bother getting a pre-reg pass for next year.
Due to some labor problems the hotel is having, the room parties were really limited. As a result, the dance was packed and was a bit much. I did run intotavalon for my once-every-two-to-three-year sighting and conversation with her.
On the plus side, I did have plenty of time to join in on the Lord of the Rings Online RAID Friday night. Yeah, MMORPG lifestyle!
