It's been so long since the last Kawaiicon that I forgot where the better seats were in the house for taking speaker photos. 😢 I'll know for tomorrow.

Just a few pics shy of 800 for Wednesday @kawaiiconNZ@twitter.com merch bagging and today's first #kawaiicon2 day. How many will survive the 'cutting all too fuzzy pictures from a dark auditorium'? You'll find out in my flickr album later.

First of the @CatalystNZ@twitter.com presos at @kawaiiconNZ@twitter.com with Andrew Bartlett from our Samba team.

We'll be back after lunch #kawaiicon2 https://instagr.am/p/Cfc2W7jpKkS/

Yummy snacks for speakers and volunteers at #kawaiicon2 from @sweetreleasewlg@twitter.com https://instagr.am/p/Cfcv2EBhCy1/

The launch of #kawaiicon2 https://instagr.am/p/CfccKQUBgQ3/

Patiently awaiting the #kawaiicon2 launch. Any second now.

Patiently awaiting the #kawaiicon2 launch. Any second now.

Not to forget the 'I can get into the venue' wristband. The #kawaiicon2 Crüe is diligent about checking vax passports and IDs. Have them ready before you get in line. https://instagr.am/p/CfcM-r1BOGL/

Got two tags this year #kawaiicon2 😊 https://instagr.am/p/CfcMk25B6yi/

Oops. They just corrected me and said 7

#kawaiicon2 volunteer pro tip: cozy cake shop on Manners off Cuba will be open tomorrow at 6 for your caffeine fix.

This is the first in-person conference in 3/4 of a year. It'll be absolutely lovely seeing people in person and not rectangles.

PSA: for the next 2 days most of my tweets will evolve around #kawaiicon2. Stick around for the fun and the security. The event will be livestreamed. Head to @kawaiiconNZ@twitter.com for the details (in a bit)

Thank goodness the rain is supposed to stop before #kawaiicon2 doors are opening. Keep your fingers crossed that the forecast is right or it's gonna be a bit steamy for the launch.
