Arisia 2009 - my first time

Suffice it to say worth waiting the 10+ years since I heard about Arisia. I knew almost 100+ people between attendees, participants and staff, did some ballroom dancing, saw some movies, acted in and witnessed two productions I was involved with go off (mostly) without a hitch, (much of it thanks to the incredibly accommodating, polite and hardworking Arisia staff) and just spend this long weekend with some very good friends making quite a few more.

This post will go into far more detail albeit slightly in more private post.

However if you met me for the first time - I'd love to hear from you as my memory is quite poor from introducing and recalling the great many I did know to each other.

Twitter, Livejournal, Cross-Pollination and how to OPT OUT!

OK folks. I'm still having the occasional person friend me and then realize I mostly microblog via Twitter due to spending the last ~6 months working on 3 Productions, having a new child and various other things in my life.

I also hear quite a bit of bitchyness here and at Arisia this weekend about people on Livejournal who don't like reading people's Twitter aggregates on LJ friend listsfor various reasons whether they have a Twitter account or not.

I already did a post here stating that you can OPT OUT of my Twitter posts. When I friend you and you see them, just drop me a quick note. IM, Email, Comment, SMS, Call etc. Don't drop me from your Friends List simply because LJ did a poor job to make it easy to filter out certain posts.

Those of you who want to respect your LJ readers should implement LoudTwitter Twitter-to-Livejournal posts this way which allows you to remove someone from the filter.

I know a lot of you already follow me on Twitter. However, I am up to 577 followers and 403 people I'm following so I prefer the summaries. Makes it easier than going back to see what I missed.

Questions?
