07/25/19 - Otakon 2019 is here! Let's hang out at my house and then go set everything up

Mel and Topaz like Codenames

Topaz has a fun

Topaz has a snack

Buzz's CEO photo

Come here, Neil!

Who wants a treat?

The cats are ten years old today! Happy birthday, Neil and Buzz!

This is the moment that Dan realized he left his wallet in his car.. at my house

The con before ours was some right-wing thing. So there were a lot of red hats with white text

Robyn has a shirt

Dan tries to find some stray cell signal

He's got his badge!

Now this is a crew

Waiting for Vic and Amanda to arrive with the van

Oh snap!

The van is completely solid at this point

Robyn preps for the server move

All empty!

Will brings in the first load of equipment

Second load

Get out the run book

Dan samples the weird new hallways chairs

oh my

Don't tell me how to live!

This seems safe

I am full of radios

Everyone look like you know what you're doing, Vic's here!

Dan wires up his radio

Vic is distressed to find that we haven't done anything wrong for him to gripe about

I got a picture of Anthony and Robyn at the same time! They make it so difficult. Two for one special!

Mel discovered that "person shouting from the runbook" is a super handy role

You can tell Vic has been burned before

Model puppy

What.. happened here

Dan's ready for his first Otakon

Fixing the wiring

Goddamnit, Mel

Finalizing the setup

Topaz supervises Vic setting up Featured Events

Vid Gal Jen!

Our new TV for the blue/red group is a little smaller

It's the 2019 VAT!

So many seats

How does the server work again?

This reminds me of that crane shot of mission control in Apollo 13

I love Lamen

AMV team dinner!

You can't hide, Robyn!

I finally got my 10 year Otakon pin!

This photo is a work of art. I'm putting Dan, Mel and Anthony's names in here just so my lazy search system can find this photo.

Mel hates these chairs

Laptop test time

Are we done yet?

VAT Lounging

Topaz trying to get the wireless mic to break

Topaz has had a long day
