Need... more... clones...

[morsla]

I just had a look through the GenCon event schedule, and I have a slight problem. Completely ignoring the many thousands of games at the convention, I've been looking through the 150-odd painting and sculpting seminars. I think I want to go to all of them... colours with Jen Haley, glazes and colour theory with Jeremie, sculpting with Tom Meier...

Unfortunately, I would need an army of clones to cover all the classes and seminars. Due to air-travel logistics, I'll have to procure said army after reaching Indianapolis. Failing that, I'll just drink so much coffee that time slows down to the point where I can run to every class at once.

I've been painting pretty solidly since Tuesday night, making up for lost time. Over the last couple of weeks, endless repetitions of near-identical figures ground all the fun out of painting - leaving me wondering why on earth I accepted the commission work that's currently on my desk. To break the tedium, I started on something completely different: four Trolls from Privateer Press. A change is far better than a holiday, in my case - it reminds me of the reasons why I like this job.

Can you recruit some friends to go to the sessions you can't make? If they took an mp3 player with recording ability and a camera (or even a video camera if you were feeling cheeky) it'd be almost like you were there.

Good luck! When do you head off?

I think they might be bored to death by the painting seminars :) We're heading over there in mid-August, so I have a while to work out which things I'm going to attend.

Plus, most of them have very limited spaces (10-12 for many workshops) so I might end up missing out on spots anyway. Bookings open next week, so that should help me to narrow down the list of things to do.
