Arisia '05
Jan. 25th, 2005 01:40 amSo, it's a day after Arisia, and I'm sitting here on the couch with my laptop, wireless net, and good techno coming out of the stereo speakers. That means it's time for a con report.
I really only have one solid litmus test when it comes to evaluating a sci-fi convention of Arisia's ilk. To wit:
The "Around The Block" test: Could my con experience have been satisfactorily replaced by packing my things, getting in a cab, going around the block, giving the cabbie a really huge tip, getting back into my house, and putting myself in stasis for the next 52 hours?
There was one Arisia (I think two years ago, now), to which the answer to the above question was "yes". A con so frenetically unmemorable that I don't actually remember anything about it. That was bothersome.
