Yeah, I procrastinated on this for quite a while. I actually wrote up most of it in the airport while waiting for my flight back, but never got a chance to finish it off. So anyway, here's my con report from Dorsai Thing 32. It was held in Ann Arbor, MI, March 30th to April 1st.
ThursdayI flew up to Detroit a day early to meet up with
girtygrin and some of the local Michigan Furs to hang out, drink and chat. In attendence were Gir,
2_gryphon,
nikvulper, Kargo, and Jason. Here, Nik shows us how to drink two beers back to back:

On Friday, we bummed around
downtown Ann Arbor. It was quite a lovely town, and the weather was great. In the middle of our trip, I was shown the giant spinning cube:

What is difficult to convey in this picture is that the cube spins freely on the corner that is attached to the ground. Anyone can walk up and give the cube a spin. I decided to do this a few times, and discovered that it's not unlike the big $10,000 wheel that one finds in the final round of the game show The Price is Right. It takes a bit of effort to get it spinning, but once spinning, it will do so for quite a while, and is difficult to stop.
FridayOn Friday, I swung by the hotel where Dorsai Thing was at this year and found the con suite in full swing. This year's theme was "And now for something completely different". The con did not fail to live up to this name.
To start with, Dave and Dianna Stein had brought in a rather pristine gumball machine. Except this machine did not sell gumball, it sold pins with sayings about the Dorsai on them. I got three buttons which read:
- "The Boogyman checks his closet for Dorsai"
- "People can piss names in snow. Dorsai can piss names in concrete."
- "Dorsai Capitulus: Veni; Vidi; Bibo"
Also, I had bacon mints. They were pretty uh, interesting:
( Nobody expects The Dorsai Inquisition! )For those interested, my entire collection of pictures from this year's Thing
can be found on Flickr.
