SJ2011 Bid Party; Norwescon Photos

[kevin_standlee]

I'm back from Norwescon, after a pretty uneventful flight and a lot of waiting for a train connection. I'm very tired.

Last night's SJ in 2011 party was pretty quiet. Lisa had deliberately gone pretty light on buying party supplies, and even then we ended up with three boxes of crackers and an unopened container of cheese spread that we gave to the Con Suite on Sunday morning, plus two boxes of oatmeal raisin cookies that we laid out at the SJ2011/Anticipation table.

Photos of our table (with me and Kuma Bear in our Anticipation t-shirts on Saturday) and of the SJ2011 party on Sunday before we opened) are on my Flikr site here. I'm too worn out to go into great detail about the photos, I'm afraid.

How did you get the Signs made? I would like some of those signs made for the APG 2011 party at Balticon and Worldcon. Graphic Design isn't my strong suit.

I have access to a large-format printer (HP DesignJet 660). I laid out the signs in PowerPoint. Artwork (horse, logos) came to me from the bids/cons -- I can't draw. The nicest version of the SJ2011 poster was done by a member of our committee. The rest, including the "shared table" poster, were just me working on things within PowerPoint.
