Ha, I didn't really have much of any of an organising role and I didn't talk about it here at all so that's why you missed it. ;) Basically it was in the city I'm from so I helped out very peripherally by going to check out a few hotels that the organisers had been in touch with and seeing the space in person, made a couple of phone calls on their behalf, booked a restaurant table, that kind of thing. It wasn't anything major, trust me! But it was nice to feel I was able to help a little in making it happen. And the actual con organisers were amazing.

I'm glad that you found it an interesting read though, since it felt kind of rambly and indulgent... ;)
