[ACML] A Rant about Con Noobs

[cassie at speakeasy.net]

Yay! Jim does a good job of figuring out meanings from a "too early in the morning" post ^_^ 
I should also note that my husband is vice chair for KosaiKon and he does a good job of "Hell no, Rachael, you aren't buying that!" He runs the technical aspect of KosaiKon...from the video game room down to helping me figure out the best way to get the shows from whatever format they are in to the screens.  So I can't take all of the credit myself. I do the planning and staffing side, he does the 'make it happen' side.
