Well, as a frequent Toastmaster at the British Nycons, which took place at our house twice yearly, the duties consisted of standing over the toaster, putting in whatever anyone handed me (subject to minimal screening: DVDs don't toast well) and making sure the damned machine didn't burn it.

The post carried very little in the way of status, but I flattered myself I was being useful.

Love,
Zander

P.S. What?

Trying to be both toastmaster and timekeeper was something of a strain; those two functions should be separate if possible.

It was sometimes difficult for me to track down performers before I introduced them; luckily I knew most of the locals. Somebody who isn't as terminally shy as I am would no doubt have an easier time of it.
