Valucrecon Day One: A Gathering of Fifteen

Wow, that is a lot of Valucreans! 

That's right, through rain and shine, turbulent rides and flights that seemed like they would never happen, fifteen members of Valucre managed to converge together and all in one place, and like old friends meeting after years gone by, the flow of conversation came generously and without awkwardness. We were laughing, joking, talking about Valucre and things unrelated, just 15 different souls from different places and different walks of life, linked by one common place- and apparently much, much more. 

This first night went without a great deal of activity, because getting here for some of us was a battle in and of itself. Lightning storms and heavy rain delayed The Hummingbird's and mine flight to Chicago, where we were to transfer off for Atlanta. Once we finally made it to Chicago, we were delayed yet again, and thus ended up in Atlanta much, much later. Meanwhile, Redemption and her group braved that very same weather, driving through that nasty mess in pursuit of making it to this con. We came together later in the day and with a great deal of weariness- our exuberance still came forth in abundance, but it is clear that any excitement will have to come later this weekend. 

So, who made it, and what did we learn?

Well, you had:

Acies, The Hummingbird, Aperion, Malum, Aleksei Vintage, King, Vasanti, Ran Iji, Corban, Circa.Cipher, Redemption, Blue Shoelaces, Rouini, and Fallen Joy.

Now, as to what we learned...

Ran Iji and Corban are in fact two different people 

However, they are working on it.

 You do not want to know what the next step entailed. All I can say is that Corban ended up face down on the bed..

.

We learned that Vasanti does in fact smile:

Too late! Next time, perhaps you will think about that before forgetting to check the blog during the weekend of updates, or skipping out entirely on the Jordancon.

Of course,  we did a lot more than just learn. We had some serious fun. With that, I leaving you with a montage of photos:

These two are silly. 

None of us are sure what Corban was doing....

 

Kat liked this pillow A LOT
