Six years of Penguicons wrapped up
Six years in a row now I have spend one Sunday more tired them most any other. This is the Sunday night after Penguicon and this year was no exception to the rule. Penguicon 6.0 has now come to a close and my head is swimming with all the great memories of this weekend. First I have to say that the Tech guests of honors totally rocked. All the guests of honor and nifty guests totally rocked the Penguicon house and I am thankful they agreed to take time out of their busy schedules to come.
A few highlight from this weekend was the weather, the people, and Giant Singing Tesla Coils. There have been Penguicons where a blizzard has dumped inches of snow during the event; this year we had plenty of great spring weather. What I like most about Penguicon is the chance to meet and talk with exciting people. As an organizer I am fortunate to have Thursday night and often times Sunday night to interact with the guests on a bit more personal level. This year was no exception and the food and company for my Thursday and Sunday dinner was terrific. This year at Penguicon we introduced a new guest type, Hack of Honor. The inaugural Hack of Honor was no other then the Giant Singing Tesla Coils. I really did not know what to expect but I can say that any expectation I had was completely blown away! The amazing spring weather with the beautiful lighting and fun music was one of the most interesting experiences I have ever had. The music was a selection of video game music, popular tunes and a bit if classical. If you ever get a chance to see the Giant Singing Tesla Coils in person I would not miss it for anything.
I am very tired after the weekend and will write more about the weekend in the coming week.
