not my first convention, but my first ejc!!!.....and I just loved it! the people, the props, the inspiration, in the end even the weather.....the pings, the pongs, the liquorice vodka (thx antti....and we didnt forget to offer it to other people as well, actually we offered it to everyone who we started chatting to and even told them that they should think of you for a second while drinking this loverly black finish vodka thing!)etc.
dont even know where to start as my mind is still so full of inspiration and impressions, but first I wanted to say that i found a pitchblack hat in my luggage and some pair of poi, quite old monkeyfists.....button handles....etc.
