WTF?

[jesse_the_k]

I'm glad it was worth it for you. My first WisCon was back in the 1980s, and my second one was w30. It was too overwhelming for my "mentally interesting" brain, so I decided I'd try to make it work better for me -- and for other people with disabilities.

I'd love to hear suggestions for ways to improve access.

you'd think after 6 wiscons i'd be used to it! I can't see anymore the con could have done, really. It was just the over-socializing, which i did to myself

You're the Jesse I was looking for all weekend!

So I saw the fine print (wee joke there) in the program guide about an enlarged print version available on request. And I went and requested it. And then I opened and read it. Read it!! And busted out crying because I COULD READ IT!!! And I had no idea how upsetting not being able to read the guide had been until I suddenly could read the guide.

So -- thank you! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

You're welcome! You're welcome! You're welcome!

We're really glad it worked for you. I was concerned that the large size of the sheets would make it too difficult to handle. (Unfortunately making it an easier size would involve reformatting the whole thing.)

We are always planning improvements, so we want to hear any ideas you have! Email us via access32 at wiscon dot info now or later.

I am *so* glad we got to spend a bit of time together this round.
