I was really lucky and the Uber driver saw my phone in his car and came back to drop it off or I would be been stranded with no way to contact anyone. It all turned out okay, but I flipped out.

On this trip to Vegas, I lost my luggage, broke my tablet, had a gout attack and had to go to Urgent Care for medication and forget my phone in an Uber, (I generally consider myself a pretty lucky person, but Vegas seems to be the antithesis of this.) and it was all damn worth it to meet you wonderful wonderful people. I'd love to list all of you by name, but I still can't remember everyone.
Losing my luggage actually taught me a valuable lesson in humility. The name Nicholas means virtuous or “the virtuous one”. I've always tried to live by that. The Seven Heavenly Virtues are chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness and humility. Pride has always been one of my downfalls. I've avoided going to Vegas for years because I don't like the way I look. Being forced to wear the crappy clothes I grabbed from Walmart and seeing you all accept me as I am made me realize that my appearance wasn't ever important. I thank you all for accepting me and that idiot who took my luggage for helping teach me this lesson.
Over the years. I've been told over and over again how grateful people are that I created this community and I've always appreciated that, but I had no idea the extent of what this community was until this week. I am deeply humbled and proud of what we've all created.
You were always welcome to join us and I was overjoyed that you finally made it :) It was awesome to finally meet you in person after all these years (and you looked great, so I don't know why you were depriving us) and indeed, this is what I have always loved about our Stonewall/Vegas group, they are all accepting and embracing -almost like a crew on a space station or starship :) -had it not been for you and your hand in creating Stonewall I wouldn't have meet anyone years ago. I was aware of your lost luggage but I had no idea about everything else, my word, I hope that you get your luggage and that you were able to find your phone. We still have a few people at the Rio that can make some calls to have your phone delivered to them and then shipped to you, etc.
I am so happy that overall despite the obstacles that you faced, you were able to experience the convention, gain insight into one of the toughest virtues (humility) and enjoy everyone else. You're forever part of the Vegas gang now, so now you'll be expected to return next year for TNG's 35th anniversary at the Con :)

HavenCon - Austin
I can be so dense at times. I am co-chair of a gay gaming convention held for the past two years in Austin, Texas. The next convention will be April 2017. This next year we are going to make more of a push to get more video games into the convention, both mmo and non. We are heavy into table top, comic, cosplay, and anime currently.
Currently a gay multigame guild called Rough Trade will be hosting their annual meet up at our convention, and I thought, what the hell, would Stonewall be interested in having a presence? Could be a panel, a booth, or just a casual meet up. I am not sure how Stonewall handles such things.
update - We just booked Denise Crosby!

I'll be out of town most of the afternoon, but will try to make it back for the PvE queues at least. Hope everyone has a good time!
