Still, the show (or, in this case, the con) must go on, so both of them made the best of a bad situation, while I did what I could as the official lackey.  In the end, I think things ended up working out pretty well, and most of the attendees seemed to have a great time, but I&#8217;m sure both Jenn and Deb would have enjoyed the con more without their respective medical issues.<\/p>\n<p>As for my own TBR experience, I had a pretty good time, despite the behind-the-scenes stresses.  It was great to meet some new attendees that I only knew from online (like Bryant (<a href=\"http:\/\/bryant.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">bryant<\/a>), Ginger (<a href=\"http:\/\/immlass.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">immlass<\/a>) &#038; Michael (<a href=\"http:\/\/mcroft.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">mcroft<\/a>), and Kris Kunkel (<a href=\"http:\/\/ambersknave.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">ambersknave<\/a>)), to spend time with some people I pretty much only see at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambercons.com\/\">Ambercons<\/a> (including Liz T.

I enjoyed both of the games I played in, and the three games I ran seemed to be a lot of fun for those who played in them.
