AC OMG AC AC AC AC AC.... (thank to all my roommates
Aolun , 
Garthwolf and 
firestormsix being there with me, wonderful wonderful people)
Anthrocon was here and then it was gone, shooophew, got there Thursday and left Monday
With no experience of being an onsite volunteer and I jumped straight into being on staff (operation if you are wondering), it was not what I expected and it was quite an experience. If I were to give the chance to relive my life again for AC, I actually don't know if I would choose to staff or not cause I learned some hands on experiences that my work have never taught me all these years.
The amount of work itself was OK, but what I wasn't prepared for was to keep the mentality that "You will not have time for anything". Conventions are typically short on staffing people they can rely on so it leads to volunteer are heavily need and encouraged during the con, but volunteers are voluntary of what they are available for and what not, if their agreed time is up they have no obligation to help out and stay behind. Then things just fall on staffs and departmental leads. I have to say, now that I had a taste of what it's like to be one of those behind the scene guys for a event, I feel ever so respectful to people who could handle their duties over the years....I pretty much burnt out at this AC. I prefer not to go into details on what I did, it wasn't super hard compare to other departments but did used quite a lot of time.
I missed all the events that I hoped to go but parade. which was super successful this year with normal crowds compare to furry fans in the convention space only, lots and lots suiters found their long lost spirit back because of it, I remember almost cried. Missed dance competition tryout, missed pretty much entire dance competition and the chance to watch my local buddy
HumphreyE45 on stage
and a few other things I really wanted to do. Sunday when I thought all our duties were done as the con closed, where we could go hang out with people at deaddog, the cleaning part was just started, clean up part ended 2 hours before deaddog closed, yet there still were people at the convention center working their asses off picking up/dropping off all equipment on truck, departmental teammates all darted for their own destination and I was just by myself.
After went up to my room I couldn't felt more pathetic of missing all the people and events, I tweeted about looking for parties but no one responded, honestly wasn't even sure if I'd bother catch up with people at deaddog or just slept it off. It was at that moment
Yippee sent me a text and offered me to be in his bunny Twilight for a couple hours, my emotion amplified right there and I couldn't stop my tears from falling. Twilight saved me from that miserable evening. So, if you remember seeing Twilight on late Sunday evening, it was probably me :3
So, staffing at events certainly make you sacrifice a lot of resources you don't realize when they came free such as time, you wouldn't say "well I don't know what to do, con is boring" if you weren't to be put in a position to basically work while watching people play. For that, hope all the sacrifice made helped people be happier at the con
yay my birthday is next week X3

hope to see you again soon....maybe in Asia
And thank you for explaining what it's like to be on AC staff, I was very curious myself. Sorry you didn't have more time to do fun things
if you had ran events with CCI before (I think Siku told me you were associated with the facility, I used to too), you probably know there's a looooot involved in behind the scenes than people can see :)
Will you be bowling tomorrow?
