"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 I’m reminded of the time the announcer could NOT make out the name on the card (and it was an original character so there were no other clues) and wound up announcing “Fred. From the planet Fred.”
(Sorry – the statute of limitations has run out of specifics. 🙂 )
HA, this one page brings back memories for me.
1) First time staffing, I got conscripted (pun intended) to run the Dealers room. I’d never had run a shop before, let alone a room full of people who were selling and buying things. I was such a nervous wreck during it. Helped a few dealers out, ended my 12 hours of doing so by going in to an anxiety attack from the nervousness and stress. Fun times.
2) Got talked in to running an eating contest. Never again.
3) Was excited to help out a convention-run video series (ugh…if you look it up…Awesome Rangers 3) as a brash Irishman. Ended up nearly killing myself a series of times.
4) Some how found myself as a backstage hand for the Cosplay contest.
5) One year, found myself on stage trying to buy time for the judges during said contest.
6) Conscripted in to forming my own committee. No regrets on this one.
We all died a little in Awesome Rangers. Some more literal that others. …some a little too close to literal, now that I think on it. 🙁

Wow, I miss times when the Cosplay contest was actually that big… Ceremonies completely fills the Main Events room. Cosplay… not so much.
