Kubla Con 2017. San Francisco, May 26th-29th.
So, I have purchased my flight and Con badge, plus a room for the first few nights of my trip, and a friend has room at the Con hotel.
They have a painting competition, so I'm going to bring a handful of models to enter. I'm not expecting to win, they attract some professional painters, but I hope to get some recognition, maybe some fan favorite votes. They have 3 categories, Individual model, Unit model and Large model. I have decided to finish my LE Joan of Arc for the individual model, and the Waning Moon Warg for the Large model. I haven't decided on the Unit entry yet. It's a toss up between my Bolts and the Pano from Operation Icestorm. I'll finish painting Joan, and go over the Unit and the Warg to bring them up a level or two in quality. The unit is a good tabletop quality, but I want to bring it up to something I'll be satisfied entering into a competition.
I'll be sure to take some pics while there, and I might even bring a small set of models to play, but I'm not sure how much time I'll have to play. My nights are planned, and I expect I'll hang with friends during the day, maybe explore more of the city. Work said I have to fly back on Memorial Day, but I could have a few days off before, so I'm flying out on Tuesday and back on Monday. My plans for the first few days are still fluid, but I'm staying for a few days in downtown San Francisco, then going to the Con on Friday. I'm looking at volunteering at some of the Paint 'n Take sessions, but I'll wait until I get there before deciding on that.
