Was gooncon as horrifying in real life as it appeared to someone looking at the photos? I'm talking about the first one or two, I stopped reading SA just after that.

Thinking about it, weren't there only two? Didn't lowtax say something like, "let us never speak of this again"?



I went to the one in New Orleans, I forget which year it was but I think it was the 3rd one? Lowtax wasn't there, but I think a couple of the admins were.

It was probably 90% super awkward nerds trying to "hilariously" ask my black friend (also an SA poster) if he stole radios for a living, and 10% people who were chill and fun to hang out with. The two groups separated pretty quickly. Although we did take one of the super awkward nerds under our wing, which was pretty fun.
