CloverCon 2017: The Little Con that Kicks Big Butt

July 10th, 2017

Mako-chan

Once more I, Mako-chan, get to tell you of how great a con CloverCon is. Taking place on Sunday May 21^st in Bridgewater, NJ, the AJS crew decided to get an early start on festivities, and instead of traveling up that morning, we got a room for the night before.

Let me tell you, the difference is amazing. I love my sleep, as do the others on staff, and the last few years we had gathered at the closet staff home to hang out the night before and then head to the con. As great as that is, having to drive an hour and a half after little sleep due to hanging out is a pain.
