One thing I knew I had to do whilst in Orlando was try The – a Star Wars Virtual Reality experience that you can only do in specific locations. Spoilers: it was amazing. But that’s now what this thread is about. 3/n

The experience is designed for 4 players. Although I had two colleagues with me ( and ), they both weren’t up for it. I thought about just going solo, but that took a lot of the buzz out of the idea. 4/n

So I resorted to trying the IAC Slack spce. I threw a suggestion out into the ether to see if anyone wanted to come along, and I waited… 5/n

I thought I might find at least one person, and I was right! popped up and said he was up for it. He’d done it in Las Vegas and was keen to go again. Problem solved I thought, I have at least one new friend to go with! 6/n

SEVEN more people are added to the channel immediately, meaning we were up to two full teams. As an extrovert, this was a dream come true: now I was up to SEVEN new friends to geek out with about Star Wars AND VR! 8/n

But it didn’t end there! had given a workshop at 2016 that included a delightful segment on the Taxonomy of Star Wars Trading Cards (really!). I ran into him giving a talk in one of the conference rooms and asked him if he was up for it. OF COURSE he was! 9/n

We ended up with 12 people – three full teams of Rebel scum on a secret mission to Mustafar! Here’s a 360 photo of us all looking especially nerdy, snapped by before we went in 10/n

Once it was over we trooped off for dinner together, still on a high from being immersed in a very believable Star Wars caper. And we didn’t just talk about Stormtroopers and Lightsabers – we also talked about the conference, which talks we’d enjoyed, our jobs, challenges...11/n

So just like that I’d made 11 new friends! And I saw them all in the hallway between sessions over the next two days. We’d would stop and chat, or sit together in sessions to compare notes and observations. 12/n

This is just one story. I haven’t talked about karaoke night, or poster night, or games night, or the food (THE FOOD!). I hope more people get to go and experience their own stories, only this time from New Orleans. 13/n

It was genuinely wonderful. I still have the photo (that you so kindly bought - I think I still owe you a drink?). Excited to see what New Orleans can bring...!
