The Expo.

[sechan19]

Was a very credible success. I was privileged to see a number of friends win this year, including two from my own department and one from outside my department who entered at the last minute on my suggestion.

Things ran more or less smoothly (minus a fickle power cord, a misplaced piano, and a couple minor judging snafus), and I was pleased to hear from people that this year's Expo was far and away an improvement over last year's event.

I also got to chat with some new folks, made good friendships over the course of the project, and earned an extremely flattering compliment from the committee chair.

I'm glad I did it; and I'm glad it's over.

For now.

Who are we kidding? We all know I'm going to volunteer again next year. The benefits far outweigh the expenditures. And even though I'm exhausted I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

But now, I'm going to curl up with a movie about Japanese punk rock stars who fight zombies and foil yakuzas and KICK OUT THE JAMS!

Because life is too short not to.

Yes, the parts I saw were a grand success, and my panel was pretty spiffy!

I'm sorry you missed my folks, who were there. just not at the same moment you were. Ah well. Another time.
