To give a little context, below is a reflection of my experience (as a volunteer) at the first Game of Thrones conference ever held. Working the Con provided a pretty good view of how things went administratively. I daresay the vast majority of the weekend was a massive success, but there was (understandably) a slight hiccup here and there. You know, little stuff that’s an inevitable part of any big event like this.
Without further adieu – fonas chek, everyone!
THE CON OF CONS
Alrighty my friends
Just a sec, listen up
The sad end has arrived
So let’s all raise a cup
And bid fond farewell
I hope you all will agree
To meet up next year
For Freefolk, are we
So many great friends
It seems we’ve all made
Which means Con number two
Will put this one to shame
Much more stuff can we plan
Since we all made a mate
Epic fun is in store
So be sure to hydrate
And before I forget
As a Con volunteer
All the suggestions ya’ll made
Will help planning next year
Rest assured, worry not
All the kinks will be gone
This year taught one thing:
How to properly Con
And one other thing
If Valyrian pass, did you claim
Sincere apologies, accept
If you thought it was lame
But fear not, VIPs
For next year you shall see
That the perks you’ll enjoy
Will be worth all its fee
Your photos shall print fast
All in focus – not a glitch
But for real, jokes aside
Working photos…was a bitch
Now let’s all look ahead
At two thousand eighteen
And as friends, all await
Until we next reconvene
On a serious note – I can’t describe how grateful I am to have met you guys. This weekend was the most fun I’ve had in quite some time. This was also my first Con, so thank you all for making it such an unforgettable one! Next year can’t get here soon enough!!
Love you guys!
Matt
