I made it through in one piece!
Barely, though. Barely.
So last weekend was BristolCon which was awesome as expected. This is the fourth year we (me, my brother and J) have been and it's always good - it's a small con although it's getting bigger, but it means it's not packed full of people and you can chat to everyone. Plus there were more panels about fandom this year which I liked. The Con is a very book-centered one as opposed to a comicon, so I spent all day listening to writers talk about books. Which was awesome. I had to go before the end which meant I missed the steampunk one and the YA one I wanted to hear BUT I got to talk to people about being a big ol' fangirl which is always a pleasure.
They do have a small dealer's room though, where I bought two gorgeous pieces of jewellery - one Sherlock-themed and one Doctor who-themed...
Sherlock-themed "Blogger" necklace (it's very probable that I may wear this one forever because I. Love. It.)
Doctor Who Tenth Doctor-themed necklace from Crafty Miss Kitty (who is there every year and also does an excellent line in knitted daleks)
So good times. Next one is FilkCon at the beginning of Feb which I am REALLY EXCITED about and also MILDLY TERRIFIED about as I've not been before but I'm SO GLAD I am. CAPITALS. Which brings my annual con list to three. Which is nice.
Of course after last weekend I had EPIC payback and yesterday I spent the whole day in bed with the heat pad, but I knew it was coming and it was totally worth it. A+++ Would Con Again.
