Neglect 2005 otherwise known as the Ghetto fabulous Con located at the Ghetto fabulous Purple Hotel.
Wednesday June 1st
Planned on leaving by 4:30ish, Liam missed his flight and came in later. So it was 6:30 before we headed out of town. Made great time. Mapquest ended before I ever got to the hotel though. Most interesting. Asked directions of a cabbie. Got to love cabbies. He got me right there. Got into our room around 11:30 pm. Super hugs to Dennis. Cause otherwise I was gonna reach over the counter and kill the guy at the front desk. One thing we were not told is if you did not give a credit card, they wanted $100 cash deposit. Why you ask? Well because I might wreck the room of course. Got off the elevator and smelled mold. This was not a good sign. Got a nice size room with not very many issues. Just a few lights that did not work. Slept not very well. The bed sucked.
Thursday June 2nd
Woke up with a 4:45 am phone call and it was allergies from hell. Even my Allegra did not work. We will survive. Picked Dave up at the bus station. I have figured out that hotel clerks and Mapquest have a lot in common. They have no clue where they are going.
Staff meeting.. yummy food in the restaurant.
Got the security/con ops office set up. Got an oh my god surprise! We were gonna have WiFi and I would be on the internet all the time! That was a first. Hugs to Charles!
The folks started pouring out of the woodwork to volunteer for security and medical. That is the way it goes. I am amazed! Huge hugs to Ted, Brian, Dave, Liam, LeAnne, Byron, Pokchop and the rest of my team.
Brian and Dave made it in from Canada! That so rocked! So I was sharing my room with
A Brit and 2 Canadians. Now that was fun. Oh.. Brian.. thanks for the Schnapps! Gotta love Canadian alcohol.. So much better than ours. I did open it after I got home!
Jenn and I grabbed Kelley for a hit and run Queen of the Cam crowning. She looked very stunning in her outfit almost made to order with her crown and sash! We inducted Jamie and Neka and Billy into the Princesses of the Cam. I am going to induct Pokchop cause that woman rocks!
Opening ceremonies went very well. 35 minutes. I think that is a record. I made the announcement that anyone going to the hospital for an alcohol related incident would be suspended from the Cam for a period of 6 months. I told them I was tired of them not drinking responsibly. Everyone clapped for that.
Jon told everyone to take up arms in the War on Apathy. “Do one thing. Say one thing.” Make the game work for you!
I wish I could say it was an uneventful night. I got woke up in the middle of the night as did our beloved coordinator on duty. It seems we had to send a Cammie to the hospital. For what you ask? See the above sentence. Needless to say, they were suspended, removed from the con and went home. The word spread like wildfire. No one else went to the hospital the entire weekend and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. (Thank you very much!)
Pot was on the 5th floor. You could smell it as soon as you got off the elevator. Not us, but the ones who live there permanently and work there too.
Some folks got drugs left for them in their rooms. I just was wondering where mine was. I obviously got the wrong room!
Friday June 3rd
Sleep… I needed lots of sleep and it was not happening. Had a staff meeting that went overly long.
I am pissed that I lost so much sleep that I could not play Changeling or Mage. They kept telling me to play my Childling Redcap but … she takes a lot of energy and I did not have any left to give.
Napped for a few hours. Got up and found food. THANK GOD there was food in hospitality.
Found out the Triad was there. We left them alone and they left us alone. Must have been payday for the residents. Some of the girls were offered cash for sex.
Slept Friday night. No one woke me. That rocked! Thank you cammies for behaving!
Saturday June 4th
It seems the pimp daddy and hoes checked in. It got to be a really interesting night. Girls had to be escorted. Cammies in pairs. Between the Pimps. hoes, triads and the sweet thirteen party it got really strange. Someone please remind me when we set up the escorts that when I am asked if I need one, to take it. Cause that was not a cool moment when I was alone in the elevator with a Pimp Daddy.
Drive by.. now that was interesting. Thought it was firecrackers. Glad my van did not have bullet holes in it or I was gonna find all the other folks and they was gonna cough up the money to get it fixed.
Sunday June 5th
Glad I had late check out. It took all of us to pack up con ops. Said goodbye to all my friends. Had lunch with Hugh and company. It was a lot of fun. Wish I knew about that restaurant before then! Got everything packed and drove home.
It was an awesome time and as usual very interesting hotel!
After Con:
Pokchop went to the hospital with food poisoning on Monday and they think it was from the hotel dinner. Her comment: "The Purple Hotel...the gift that keeps on giving..."
