Thanks to everyone for the awesome participation, it was a lot of fun!

For the record there has been some scandal regarding a question I was asked about my favorite pie. In the past i’ve said strawberry rhubarb, and apparently I disappointed some people by saying key lime. I had just seen a key lime in the grocery store and it was on my mind…

I will answer them all, it must may take me a while. Several questions have come through, though, and I wanted to address them here.

1) Will you stop doing Murcaching?

Nope. I stopped Geek Fu because I didn’t have the time or energy to put into it: Murcaching doesn’t take as much of either.

2) Why can’t I comment here?

Now that I honestly don’t know. Some were able to comment. Some weren’t. Sorry about that, I don’t know what’s going on.

Of course, when I planned on writing this, I had more stuff in mind to write, but now I am blank. Thanks again to everyone, and I’m doing OK, really.

So I took some of those essays and entered the public radio talent search. If you’re interested, can you vote for me? I feel silly asking for votes, but since I don’t ask you to vote anywhere else, I figured it can’t hurt… http://www.publicradioquest.com/node/1302

So here’s Murcaching.

I have a Wonder Woman lunchbox I’m going to mail out. There are little goodies inside. When you get the box, take one out, and put something inside for me. Send me a picture with you with the lunchbox. When I get the pic, I send you an address and you send it to the next person. And so on.

Email me - include your address - at mightymur AT gmail DOT com if you’re interested. No one will see your address but me and the one person who sends the lunchbox to you.

A couple of notes about this podcast: I recorded it last week, but had to delay posting and editing for a week, which is why the date tag at the beginning is a while ago. Sorry about that.

Do I need to mention there’s adult language? And a bit of blasphemy?

Mur Lafferty yes No More Con Stuff http://www.geekfuactiongrip.com/2006/08/21/more-con-stuff/ http://www.geekfuactiongrip.com/2006/08/21/more-con-stuff/#comments Mon, 21 Aug 2006 12:47:36 +0000 Mur http://www.geekfuactiongrip.com/2006/08/21/more-con-stuff/ * If it’s your first time in a hotel, know that tipping the maids is customary. It’s good to go $2 a day, more if you’re a total slob, you host a party, someone horks and misses the toilet, etc. Although it’s convienient to tip all at once when you’re leaving, try to remember to tip every day, since different maids might clean your room at different days (esp. since weekends and weekday staff may be different.) Maids are trained to avoid everything in the room as if it were plagued so that they won’t be accused of stealing, so you can put it in an envelope on the pillow, attach a note, etc. The pillow is a very good place to leave a tip, since you’re unlikely to leave money there by accident, unless it fell out of your ear or something.

* Try not to drink too much on the last night. You don’t want to be traveling with a hangover. Moreover, you don’t want to be driving with a hangover.

* Sex: a friend of mine says if you can’t get laid at DragonCon, you’re not really trying. However, keep in mind common sense: use protection, be courteous to your roommate, and if you’re in a relationship and your SO isn’t at the con, don’t be an idiot. Lastly, when I was in college at a safe sex seminar, I laughed at the advice, “Always know the last name of anyone you sleep with,” but then later realized that some people don’t even bother finding that part out. Think: if you a) get pregnant, b) get an STD, c) fall head over beer in love, you might want to get in touch with them again.

* Like the girl scouts say, make new friends but keep the old. You’ll want to go with friends, but don’t be afraid to branch out and have coffee, beer, dinner with someone new. Having con experiences with only your safe friends from home isn’t really a con experience. But Lordy, don’t invite yourself anywhere - invite others along with you, and if they say they’re doing something else, don’t tag along.

* Again with the common sense: Don’t be rude to people. If you’re rude to a stranger, they might be your favorite author, podcaster, or the sister of the person you slept with last night (didja get that last name like I recommended?) Even worse, they might be an up-and-coming assistant to an agent who has an elephant-like memory who will remember you when you query them in 5 years, completely ignorant of their animosity toward you. True story - in my last job, I turned down a salesman trying to get me to buy advertising on his website. He wrote back to his boss that I was just a young idiot - and accidentally copied me. Six or so years later, he’s still in my database as someone never to work with.

* More con advice from Making Light.

* Con advice for writers from Sherwood Smith. - And additions to that from Michelle Sagara.

* Really, focus on two things: common sense and fun. People are putting on this show as a labor of love; thank them for their work. The maids make crap wages in cleaning up after your ass; tip them. No one likes an asshole; don’t be one. You have spent hundreds of dollars for this trip; have fun!
