We were (for the most part) just at this, but just in case doubt arises in the future about how awesome DCC 2007 was, I am writing this as a record to confirm that it was both very fun and very satisfying to be a part of and it made yesterday one of the best days in recent memory. I don't want to get carried away, but it was truly great.
I won't catalogue everything that took place here, but some highlights included:
- Delicious and healthy food courtesy of Taya, Silvia, and also the Tessa at the Urban Grind.
- An oustanding and informative key note address (note to self: we watched 28 days later last night and I (a) am much happier when laying down with others and talking / laughing (b) had scary nightmarish rage-filled-zombie based images in my mind until 6:30am this morning (c) liked the movie more because I learned of how zombie's were used before and knew we were in a zombie film renaissance--excellent cinemotagraphy, good acting, I liked the plot choices (d) despite possible ulcer, it was worth it).
- Excellent mini-presentations and excellent use of videoconferencing; dance party over ichat is funny.
- My presentation / impromptu speech were a little manic, but I felt good enough about both of them and should try and do that again, even better next time--impromptu speaking can become a new thing we all do, possibly.
- I really, really enjoyed all the dorkatholon challenges and both teams won.
I also need to remember this: Fainting Goats Exist and are so funny (see top of post).
