Redemption
Feb. 23rd, 2009 07:02 pmThis is mostly a brief post to remind myself of all the things I actually want to post about when I'm awake enough to do it properly...
It was fabulous, possibly the best Redemption ever.
The highlights included: Two superb Drazi leaders (Simon and Helen) who were totally in the spirit of it throughout the entire con and lead their teams with style, panache, creativity and cheating.
The Ruler of the Universe had the best orchestrated campaign I have ever seen and was won by a resounding margin by Brigade Leader Lethbridge-Stewart (you always know a candidate has done well when his vote tally is 150 more than the number of people at the convention).
Rob Shearman is great fun and I will talk about him later.
Kev Sutherland's 'Scottish Falsetto sock puppet theatre' is hilarious and inspired and had the audience creasing themselves with laughter.
The food was really good! Our new hotel did us proud, especially with the £7 evening meal choice.
The hall costumes were the best ever! So many people in so many great outfits.
And the chaos Liberator in the masquerade and the cabaret with songs and poi and sketches. The hall was as packed at the end as at the start.
There were good workshops, tech were really well organised, the people were wonderful, I hugged so many people I can't recall them all now.
And I got given flowers in the closing ceremony (I'm retiring from the Redemption committee after 10 years, to concentrate fully on Odyssey 2010) and the audience all got to their feet and started chanting ''Ju-dith' and I almost cried because it was such an amazing moment.
