Newbies are great! I love it when new people come to the con and get to meet people I know are lovely :) And Lithy and Doccy sort of adopted me at my second VidUKon, and were so nice and welcoming that they set the gold standard for me ;)
I always give myself a budget for the con, and with lower odds of winning an auction vid and the reduced bill for the room, I can afford the quiz prizes... One of the things I really like about the tea/coffee breaks and the buffets is that it gives everyone more chance to hang out together, rather than everyone dashing off to the bar or other eateries. I'm hoping I'll be much more awake at the con this year :) Last year was the first year I've missed the tea party, which feels like a tragedy for the ages...
Hmm, I see what you mean about the donations. I'll have a chat behind the scenes; I'm not sure we could do anything for this auction (everything's already running) but it may be something we... by which I mean the amazing Lithy... could hook up for next year.
How do you feel about Wonder Woman 84 and boardgames at this year's VidUKon? :D
