CloverCon is Less Than a Month Away…
There’s less than a month before we do the “thing” we call CloverCon. It’s been happening since 2011, so this will be the 12th year (barring the missing years of Covid; if only we could forget).
Now, Clover Baby Baby knows how to run amok in their pre-teen years trying to act like a teenager? Am I their parent, their patient kind mentor, or just a wise old friend? Lots of musings inviting themselves into my mind as I try to get back to sleep at 1:30am. Do my musings amuse you? While working on the words for our printed con program, I see that I’m not reinventing any wheel there. If it works, why fix it? But there are some new or re-newed areas to look forward to:
A Photo Booth will be set up in the alcove beyond the gym curtains. Have fun with getting some candid photos of you in your cosplay outfit. No worries if you haven’t come in costume, there will be some choices on a nearby coat rack thanks to our club members sharing some bits and pieces from their own closets. Try some on for your phot op, then return it to the rack, so others can enjoy their new “look”!
Here’s something really new for the con. FANGS game (fandoms, associations, and genres survey): Are you interested in psychology? In genre preference? How you might score in creativity or openness? Well, we have the game for you! Please join us for a quick game style psychological survey to help broaden the depth of our knowledge on genre preferences. Take short assessments and win stickers and other goods! Complete all 4 surveys for a chance to win a bigger prize!
If the quiet of the Manga Library is not your idea of fun, go outside to play some games like volleyball. Let out your inner child to just soak up the sun as you run about chasing the ball. The weather may just well cooperate with this plan. Wouldn’t that be nice for all of us inside and out?
The Clover Labyrinth has gotten a “facelift” thanks to the efforts of the club members & leaders. Almost every brick was pried out, then its grassy footprint was trimmed to stop the lawn from swallowing the labyrinth. Since it’s always hungry must it be fed? The nearby benches’ patio was also tended to with more gravel, so now the whole area looks loved and again. So go and seek out the labyrinth to walk its sweet grassy path to its center and then out again. Recharge your “batteries”, then return to the wonder that is CloverCon!
I look forward to seeing members past and present as they step up to help with this great effort to show you all a good time as we get the Clover out! Go Team Otaku!
With much love and caring,
Betty Sensei
