Oh my gosh... presumedly-free drinks before the safety drill (that should end well!), the fancy pants parade at a Dr. Who movie night (last year's winner would've been perfect! They were dalek pants), the opening band on the fourth day, four acts (including three that have never before been on JCCC) on the second day, during which we'll probably be decked out in formalwear, fezstravagant live band karaoke, and... Management Q&A? Is that like Performer Q&A, or is it different? I hope we still get to ask the performers questions that are not about management. Lots of good things happen at Q&A.
Note to self: wear swimsuit under fancy pants (last year the pool/movie party was right after a formal night, and I'd wished I'd worn a swimsuit under my gown.)
Alas, Paul confirmed on Facebook that there was no time in the schedule for Performer Q&A. Management Q&A is exactly what it sounds like: Home Office (JoCo, Scarface, Paul & Storm) answering questions about cruises past, present and future.
Nooooooooooo! Well, at least by now we should be able to find out more about the future cruise JCCC10, which was rumoured to take place on the moon, during Peter Sagal's quiz show, IIRC.
Other possible questions: Which was your favourite cruise? Be honest. My extrapolation indicates that next cruise, we won't have the schedule until three weeks after the cruise is over. Will you be providing time distortion devices so that we can consult the schedule during the cruise? Will JCCC ever be a land-based convention? (They've already given a definitive no on this somewhere on the forums, but it still gets asked) Will Tig Notaro join us next cruise? Which is worse, RCI cheese plate, or HAL key lime pie? Can you make the time distortion devices powerful enough that the cruise lasts forever? Can we put a ship in a giant sea of playpen balls next time? Will the entire eighth day of the next cruise be devoted to performer Q&A?

Brett's not coming this year so the land-based question might not (again) get asked.
MY question for management: If regulations prevent us (even next year) from getting a room full of lots of little balls, what about a few BIG ones instead? Like, say, this:
I'm pretty sure we had the most official unofficial events on the schedule at registration last year. I rely on people and the game room board for updates, as a forgoer of the wireless.
I actually was not the one who asked about a land-based con on last year's cruise! Still would like to do something one year, though, if JoCo and/or P&S would be willing to be guests.
@angelastic Wouldn't a lunar con be land-based... even if it were in the Sea of Tranquility (because it's not really a sea)?
I would hope that by that time there would be at least a lunar resort if not a city. Hopefully with good restaurants. (Maybe they'd even serve Lunar Cheesecake.)
I know I saw this last year, but now I cannot find it anywhere. To whom do we speak about hopefully getting a space reserved for the Shadow Cruise events (last minute, I know, but it turns out the JoCo Blowholes *shall* return, and it would be cool if we could reserve a practice space)
At this point, I'd suggest you look at both the Official and Official Unofficial schedules, pick a time you'd like to try for either while we're in-port or in the evening, and email me about it. Space before 6pm on at-sea days is very, very hard to come by. Everything is full.

Okay, I'll stop now.
