catherineldfWell, it was a fun-filled convention as always.
Friday, I more or less moderated a panel on amazons. It was pleasant and somewhat incoherent but a reasonably good time was had by all.
Then it was off to the ghastly hotel restaurant in time to get snubbed by the host. This incidentally is a really clever thing to do in a hotel restaurant filled with fen at a hotel which hosts several cons a year. After all, we never, ever talk to each other. Must be something you learn at restaurant school.
But the conversation was lots of fun and that made up for a great deal.
Then it was off to Krushenko's for more chatting and hanging out.
Saturday was the BU reading, followed by a panel on Japanese Horror. Have I mentioned I know absolutely nothing about Japanese Horror? Yet there I was. Such is the influence of the very shiney and charismatic Bryan Thao Worra.
Then there was dinner and masquerades and yet more hanging out.Got to see Mr. Bad Example's Carl costume - very cool. :-) And partake of his witty conversation as well as that of thaddeus, and a number of other very fun folks. Sunday found me moderating a tiny room packed with people wanting to discuss time travel stories. Have to reuse that one at other cons - it was very popular.
Came home to find out that I got a reading slot in NYC in August, barring unforeseen circumstances. :-))))
Then went to work and learned that if I ever want to retire from IT or anything else, I'd better start job hunting. Oh well, win some, lose some.
Next up, whining about being abandoned by fab girlfriend for 2 months. Sigh.

Date: 2007-03-07 02:48 am (UTC)I also need to grovel in apology for not answering my email in forever - things have been in high drama mode so I have been lax. But I will email you and we will make a plan and it will be filled with good food and things. Sorry to hear NOLA's not picking up yet though; maybe this week will bring good things?
