Home again, home again...
Back from Boskone, with was a wonderful if dehydrating experience. Oddly enough I think I went to fewer panels at this Con than at Arisia... Ironic beacuse I was staff for Arisia and not this one.
I got to a Military Sci-Fi panel which had David Weber on it (yay!), which despite the rather dry topic (difference between war porn and war novels, where the dividing line is) was very good. It was probably because not only were the panelists good speakers the Mod wasn't a Mil Sci-Fi fan and was able to say, "Ok, off topic, shut up because you've gone on too long," while still letting the discussion progress.
I wasn't able to get an autograph from Weber, wasn't able to grab my copy of War God's Own before leaving the house, but I left my program book at Dead Dog with a request to sign it. Hopefully I can pick it up at Nesfa eventually.
I'm still feeling a bit woozy from post con-crud, but should be up and about later on. For those who have been more distressed from my lack of progress at Scrabble I'll get around to it eventually.
