I attended AardCON III in Calgary last weekend and got the chance to meet a number of cyberfriends I had known through Instagram for a few years - and I am so happy I went. Highlights included: a game of Dark/Light run by Friendly Mike (super fun game, super fun GM), a speech I gave about solo roleplaying, a BBQ at Sean (the organizer)'s place, & a whole lot of hanging out with some truly lovely people. The con is a real grassroots operation, but it drew nearly 300 people, so it looks like it could grow into something big in the coming years. Hopefully not too big though :)
We also took a day after the con to visit Banff, Lake Louise & Mirror Lake - all so spectacularly gorgeous that I decided right there to use both lakes as settings in the podcast in the future. I will spare you pics of the day trip (for now) but here's some shots from the con.
No way! That's great. I haven't heard of AardCon but if I knew you were coming I'd have figured it out. I just finished every episode of TOTM and am at a bit of a loss right now. Glad you liked Alberta!
