Confusion

Is, for those reading this who are not local, a role-playing convention held yearly at Turnbull House, a community event location, which is just over the road from the back entrance to the New Zealand Parliament buildings.

I haven't always made it along, often because the 48hr Film Competition has been on the same weekend, but this year they were some distance apart, so I got to go. It's good to go to a con like this where almost everyone is known to each other, so there's a lot of trust. I registered and got my name down for a game in the first round, caught up briefly with people like eyes_of_winter and exiledinpn, and then popped out to grab a coffee.
