Announcing PeCon

alester · Post January 14th, 2021, 8:27 pm

One letter difference, slightly earlier in the alphabet, we have Peyton Con (perhaps PeyCon as another name?) on offer for this coming summer (Jun-Aug 2021). I have cleared it with my wife, she's willing to let me host something here at our home in Peyton, CO.

We have no firm plans for these months so we can be flexible in scheduling the when on my end.

Chime in with your input on whether you'd come out here and what weekends may work best (or not work at all) for you.

I would like to say I could make it out there, but it's so early in the new year, I really have no idea what may be going on yet. I'll have a more definite answer after month or so.

Thanks for being willing to host! I'm in.

The last 2 weeks of August might cause some conflict with work due to it being the downhill slide towards the end of the fiscal year. Other than that, its all open at this time for me.

Let's make this happen, folks! Peyton CO is not far from Denver.

FWIW - I like the sound of PeyCon.

Right now I'll keep the last weekend of June through the first second weekend in August open. I may be able to make an earlier date if Martina is okay looking after Victoria or a later one if we don't leave for Europe until September. My life will be mostly ruled by a baby so that's the best I can do. I see that July 4th is on a Sunday. Is an Independence Day PeCon a possibility? I feel like it would dovetail well with people not having to use leave over the holiday.

Great if you can Sam, no problem if you can't.

Life will be fairly easy for the first 9-10 months, she'll be pretty stationary and do a lot of sleeping. After that, she'll start to get mobile and things will amp up pretty quick, that's when you really start to lose your "free" time. Then you'll be pretty much tied to the caretaking until about age 6,

, that's about the time life will start to get back to normal.

An Independence Day PeCon is certainly good for me as the host. And yeah, it fits well for saving leave.

Are fireworks legal in CO? If so, we might set off a few magic missile and pyrotechnics spells of our own.

Yes they are, assuming no fire conditions that bar them.

I'm up for cooking chili for everyone one evening. A couple or three of types of meat, some cayenne, some jalapeno, 3-4 types of beans, some onions, cheese, sour cream, and tasty beverages... Everything some heroes need to slay foes with dice!
