"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

For some reason, the reason I will never volunteer to run a con website again comes to mind… 🙂
rule one of graphic arts/coding: never work for free, Don’t have to charge em a lot (i mean i’d do it for 1-5% over cost which is a major pay cut) but NEVER WORK FOR FREE!
because if you charge them they won’t ask for the stupid/impossible
And they’ll recall you exist. I was once asked to do a website, set up the whole framework, and asked the chairman et al for content. Bupkis for two months followed by a phone call “Hey, I just found someone to run the website!” He’d completely forgotten about the whole thing… So I said “that’s nice”, scrubbed the protosite, and never offered to do one for that con again.
This would be a good way to maybe ask Unagi Con to pay some of Bork Con’s lost cash.
By the way, now that you mention it he has showed up. It’s kind of funny because he was always a background character and now he is in a pickle and oddly enough at the mercy of Lynn.
