Unexpected twinges

[gwywnnydd]

So, many moons ago, Ogre died. I'll miss him. I'm worried about the potential for trauma-drama that his friends/groupies will infuse the next few conventions with, but that 's because my tolerance for trauma drama has deteriorated to a level that can best be described as "If I break your nose, will the yowling you're doing change pitch?"

Most of the time it doesn't bother me, that I wont see him again. But I did get a twinge when reading todays paper, and the P-I columnist who reported on his death back then has mentioned him again in today's column.

Don't be surprised if there will be Ogre memorial slave auctions at some of the conventions this year.

At Orycon 24 a badge was made with his name on it and it was passed around to various members of the convention to walk around with for awhile.

I've even heard that an Ave rat claimed that if anything happened to him that Ogre would come to his rescue. He didn't even know that Ogre had passed away, and this was just recently too.

Oh, Rustycon is *already* planning a "Memorial Slave Auction" (and oh, weren't Con Com surprised to learn this would be happening in the Con's name, in programming space . . .).
It's not the organized or even semi-organized events I worry about. I'm worried about the hordes of groupies pointedly dissolving into tears in the halls that I worry about. I'm not sure I could keep from throwing them through the nearest window, and orange is not my color . . .

Well, you know that I won't be at Rusty. But I hope that they don't do it at Norwes, or you may not be the only one wanting to throw them out the nearest window.
