Thank you for your appreciation guys, you don't know how much this means to us!
As a mini-rant, I'd like to say that Yojimbo is not an easy staffer position to fill, and even many of the general staff who haven't done Yojimbo don't understand this. We try to be everywhere all the time to keep you safe, happy, and to keep the con running but there's only so many of us. Also, the general staffers in other positions have their own challenges to fill, and we all do this on a volunteer basis! We love you guys and the con to death, but it's not easy work and it's easy to feel undervalued when others don't appreciate the level of effort we have to put into our jobs.
If you want to improve Kumoricon, volunteer! If you want to know what exactly is going on with Kumoricon behind the scenes and help to make things better, volunteer! If you find satisfaction in hard work to help hundreds to thousands of other people, volunteer!
I made a lot of friends this year after meeting the staff and -that- was the best reward I could have asked for after everything was done.
Thank you EVERYONE for coming! I hope you had a blast and I know we'll do our best to make next year even better! Go Yojimbo!
