ConJose

Overall, it was a marvelous time. I think I managed to actually do at least 80% of what I wanted to do, and I wasn't stressed out by the fear-of-missing-something factor. Pretty good percentage for a Worldcon, IMO.

( the other 20% )

( hucksters )

( costume )

( con glitches )

( con kudos )

( other glitches )

( fooooooood )

( programming )

( parties )

( noodling on con time management, socializing, etc. )

I'm sure there's more I want to say, but that's got most of it, and I'll put more up in seperate entries when it occurs to me. I'll be posting this to alt.poly when I get home tonight.

i knew I was leaving something out

Zeus and Hera is a fun little game, and I'm not just saying that becaue I won twice. *grin* I wish I'd been awake enough to play Awful Green Things, but when I kept dozing off over the rules, I knew it was time to go hit the sack.

another bit

Participated in the blood drive at the con Saturday. They were giving donors Heinlein books, signed by his widow. Your choice of I Will Fear No Evil or The Cat Who Walks Through Walls; I chose the former. They also had the cloisonne SF heart pins they'd had at Westercon, so now I have two of those. There were buttons, too, but mostly the same ones I've seen the last several times I gave blood at a con, so I didn't take any.

dude!

CNN is going to do a story on us tomorrow!
Not that I'm likely to end up on air, even in the background, but still...cool!

an amusing bit of silliness

There are multiple endings, so play a few times.
