Anthrocon was great this year. Lots of new responsibilities. Pre-reg was my department and it went great! I had the best volunteers. They worked so hard. I was so proud of them. Pre-reg went smoother than it has in years. The only problem I had, that everyone had, was ID for minors. Luckily, I only had a few without any ID, but their parents were with them, so I was able to work with that with a little creativity.

I am sorry for those of you who had to stand in the on-site line on Thursday. We had printer issues. Poor Nicona ended up missing the board dinner, but the board was nice enough to bring him food. We are working on things so, hopefully, we won't have the same issues next year.

For the first time since attending AC 8 years ago, I was able to actually watch the masquerade. And it was amazing! I have seen the practices and have never seen such talent. I was totally impressed.

I got to talk to guest of honor Joaquin Baldwin (layout supervisor for Zootopia, among others). He gave me a little figurine of a voodoo doll from his award winning animated short "Sebastian's Voodoo". I have it sitting on my alarm clock. He is such a nice guy and came across very quiet and shy. All our guests said they had a great time.

Now, it's time to get ready for next year's AC. Our work is year round.
