What does a technical evangelist do to scratch the in-person conference itch when there are none? Live-tweet a fake security con held at her apartment, of course.

This is one of the first cons Iāve been to where all the restrooms are gender-neutral. Thank you for being so inclusive, StayHomeCon ATX!! (3/14)
Wow! Got to meet the infamous lady who goes by the hacker handle Tubby Custard. She told me all about her recent research bypassing two-factor pawthentication.

This cost 6 freaking dollars. These convention center markups are ridiculous. Wonder if I can expense it. (5/14)
Time for booth duty at the Living Room track coffee table! If you love Linux security, weāve got some sweet swag for you! Hope I can break away long enough to grab a handful of black tshirts from the other vendors. (6/14)
Watching a presentation in track 1, the Bedroom Track, about high purrformance computing. (7/14)
Time for a break! Theyāve got a sweet lockpick village. Amazingly, I didnāt have to fight over a tension wrench ā there were plenty of them. (8/14)
The afternoon talks in the Living Room track are really illuminating. I especially enjoyed the one on cryptographic salts! (9/14)
Time for dinner with a vendor. I need to change into my nice clothes; weāre going for some very fancy food ā you might say āoat cuisineā.

Afterparty time. The sea of hoodies has been replaced by evening wear. Iāve spotted at least one Tux. (11/14)
Ugh, the amount of acohol at security conferences has gotten way out of hand. (12/14)
On the other hand, at some cons itās a feature not a bug. Like PumpCon. (13/14)
I finally hacked my badge and figured out how to get it working! So great to make some awesome connections at StayHomeCon ATX. As always, itās all about the hallway track, no matter the size of the hallway. See you next time, friends!!
