Saint Louis on $20 a day
So Simucon is over for another year or so. Many of the people I talked to agreed that this year was a kindler, gentler Simucon.
I think Simutronics' attempts at trying to handle some of the burden of late night entertainment may be toning down the party atmosphere in some semi-ironic fashion. The 50's party seemed to be especially uninteresting to most con-goers.
Some of the people who really wreck the sobriety curve were noticeably absent as well, by which I mean the people who encourage others to drink heavily through actions, words and examples.
Lastly, it seems to me that the new hotel has a layout which allows for a lot more spreading out. Late at night, people were congregating on the patios off the lobby, in various room parties, around the Radio Free Simucon broadcast, and at least three or four people were back in one of the official parties.
For myself, I took it a lot easier this year. I've made it a point at previous Simucons to put away a fifth of Stoli every night I'm there. None of that nonsense this year. Guess I'm getting old.
