Pennsic happened
Aug. 15th, 2022 01:55 pm I just spent two weeks camping in western Pennsylvania with a few thousand of my friends. My pants are totally bankrupt.
Pennsic has usually featured attendence of just over 10,000; maybe 11,000. This year they did not quite reach 8,000.
We set up shop there and peddle our wares. We had our best Pennsic ever in sales. Woo!
The weather was cooperative. We set up under sunny skies. We tore down canvas tents after a couple of sunny and dry days. The humidity was a bit wretched for much of the time (dew points in the lo 70s suck). The temps may have hit 90 early on but mostly stayed in the 80s. Entirely tolerable. There was a bit of rain, including one deluge that dropped maybe two inches in the first hour. The storm Did. Not. Move. We were stuck until it rained itself out after dark. Some people did get flooded out; not us.
Social activities were limited by the need to man the shop, but not crippled. People could come to me.
Drama was pretty limited. I did not get splashed by it.
I got to see old friends and new friends, some for the first time.
