[penguicon-general] open call for programming

[Jer]

Sure! Like Chupaquesos? And Chocolate? And Fudge? Cigar sessions? Wine
tasting? Dancing?

Holy shit, someone let a bunch of non computer and non sci-fi crap into the
con. And, amusingly, it's some of the most popular shit.

Crazy, I know.

Greg, it is clear from the past several emails that you have more desire to
FIGHT about the con than participate in the production of the con... so I
invite you to get involved. If you don't drive, I will bet that someone
would pick you up. Hell, there are people actually involved that don't live
in this state and manage to be a positive force, so not being able to get
out shouldn't be considered and insurmountable impediment. By all means, I
beg of you, get involved.

Or... I suppose, you can snipe from the sidelines.

And, as for your false metaphor regarding movie attendance... well, I submit
to you that if you actually chose to logically compare the two, you'd see
why what you are doing and "complaining about not liking a movie" aren't
even in the same ballpark, now are they?  No, honestly now, are they?

*tsk tsk*

I hope to see you at the next concom. Hell, I hope to see ALL OF YOU at the
next concom. The more of you that we can get involved, the better the con
will be. The more of you that there are sitting in the theater throwing
popcorn, the more of a shitty mess there'll be... just more work for the
ground crew, and nothing productive done.
