I'm plowing my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time to drive to work.

Okay. So later this week, I am leaving to go to Atlanta for MagicCon Atlanta.

And while I normally do a podcast about each MagicCon that I attend, I thought today I talk about what we do to prepare for

MagiCon. Yes, today's topic is MagicCon prep. So this is the behind the scenes of what we do to get ready for MagicCon.

So I will talk, mostly I want to talk about my experience, what I do behind the scenes.

There are, in fact, entire teams that put this together that spend all their time putting this together.

This is, I have another job that I do other than MagicCon.

So I do some prep for Magicons.

I'm more talking about what I do for prep, since that's what I know.

But there is a very dedicated team that spends a lot of time and energy making magicons

as awesome as they can.

And one of the themes for today, by the way, is if you've never been to a magicon, they

are awesome.

You should go to a magicon.

So anyway, okay, so what exactly, if I'm going to a magicon, and I go to most

magicons, normally if there's three in the year, I go to two on average.

But anyway, what exactly, what is Magicon?

What do we need to do to prepare for Magicon?

So the thing that I often do is a list of items that I do.

I'm on a panel, usually, sometimes more than one panel.

I've been on community panels as well as official Wizards panels.

I normally, if I'm going, I do a talk, which I will get into, that I have to write and prepare.
