Gerhard's Status

Just be careful. Omicron hit the NYC con pretty hard.

[Gerhard Profile WebsiteICQ]

Oh, I will. Got my 3rd shot about a month ago, and I’ll be wearing a mask. PAX is much more strict about that stuff.

I have friends who went to and worked at AnimeNYC. They were not strict about enforcing their mask policy and their vaccination check-in was kind of a joke.

[Cobalt]

Glad to hear it, my friend.

Will you be wearing the mask while stuffing your face the cheesecake?

[Gerhard Profile WebsiteICQ]

No, but the steaming hot meat, cheese and onions will prevent any covid from entering my mouth or nose.

[InfernosCaress Profile]

All of that steam will just make Warmvid instead of Covid.

Driving up to Boston for PAX East early tomorrow. First East in two years! We just managed to slip 2020 in before Lockdown.

I may not be able to reply as quickly during the show, but I will be checking the boards.

Have fun!

PAX East was busier this year than I expected. Had fun, collected some special Pinny Pins, got some good food with friends and averaged around 18,000 steps a day from Wednesday through Sunday. So, I’m a bit tired and sore, but I’m gonna try and get back into the games today.

Time to invest in a hoverboard.

There’s actually a cosplayer with a medical badge that comes to PAX and she designs her costumes around her segway/mobility device.

And we do have Enforcers who are handicapped as well, even in Expo.

[InfernosCaress Profile]

She sounds cool.

It's that time of the year. PAX Unplugged time. Gonna be in Philadelphia until Monday, working the Expo floor, goofing around and stuffing my face with delicious food. (I call it FatPAX for a reason).

It's also pretty chill though, so I should have time to post replies, but just a heads up if they're a bit delayed.

[Cobalt]

Have fun, bud!

[Kosh Profile]

Enjoy mate, hope you have a great time!

[Gerhard Profile WebsiteICQ]

Been kind of lax keeping this updated, but I'm headed up to Boston tomorrow to work another PAX East.

And for the first time in years, I'm actually unassigned, which means I won't have to be there quite as early (which is why I'm still up) and won't have to check in with individual exhibitors, so I should have more downtime, but then again, unassigned are like a rapid response force, sent to plug holes with bodies as needed, so who knows.

I'll try and post if shenanigans allow, but I'll definitely be back home next Monday afternoon/evening.

[Cobalt]

Hope you're having fun.

[Gerhard Profile WebsiteICQ]

Yeah, I am. Helped out at the Larian merch line today.

Just experienced my first earthquake this morning. It was only a 4.7-4.8, but it was enough. XD

[Gerhard Profile WebsiteICQ]

This weekend it’s “Mister Gerhard Goes to Washington.” or maybe it’s “PAX invades Otakon.”

I’m down in Washington DC, helping my friend out with his department at Otakon. I’ll mostly be at a desk helping people with badge issues (when I’m not stuffing my face), so I’ll be checking in, but might not respond right away.

have fun
