Houston Construct O Con Rally

weekend of 21-23 November 1997

This weekend we had our Construct-O-Con planning rally for the full blown rally in January. Anna M, Charlotte B, Christina L, Jason F, Jim M, Jon M, Jon W, KT H, Nick C, Rob N and Wende W were all there for most of the weekend.

We were way more productive than I had expected. The first night we got the theme figured out: "Imagine The Cat in the Hat (burning the flag)" (or something like that.) (Last year we didn't even start planning until 5pm Saturday.) We wanted an imagination-provoking theme, and one of the main speakers will be discussing First Amendment rights, including (but not necessarily encouraging) the right to burn the US flag.

The next day, we hammered out the schedule and disbursed the various tasks to those who were present. I look forward to a super great rally with these guys.

Though we were dragging by the end of Saturday, we got the T-Shirt design completed, and it was all good.

Also during the weekend, we play much hackey sack, listened to Jason's bump while playing frisbee, watched 3 or 4 movies, including Brain Candy (which we watched at last year's Construct-O-Con), Mars Attacks, and a freaky stop action animation film by Frank Zappa, which was mostly clay animation, and I was amazed at the detail they created, especially for such a long movie! It was pretty incredible.

Sunday morning we cleaned up and got up. I'm thankful for Wende who was much better at describing to the LRY group (who were mostly not at the lock-in) about the joy of rallies and designing them and all that.
Next rally is Little Rock Rally 5-007 December 1997
