Well, that's it then
So spnpermanon has been deleted. I know some of you used to frequent there a lot (hell, I used to spend a lot of time lurking there myself) but in all honesty from my perspective I consider this a good thing. For all the lulz there was an equal amount of bitching and wank-baiting and that's not what fandom is about.
In other news wincon is over. I had an absolute blast but at the same time I have learned that doing two cons consecutively is stupid. I managed fine when I did Polaris immediately followed by Vulkon Tampa back in 2003 but I am older and less sturdy now. I think part of it is because I'm sick but I have spent the last couple of days just feeling exhausted which meant I didn't enjoy things as much as I could.
It was fun though and I made loads of new friends. Totally missed talking to longsufferingly who I think is the only flistie I didn't get to talk to. Everyone was really friendly and awesome and I'm thrilled I finally got to meet vichan in person.
Initially the plan was that sinnerforhire and I would spend the next couple of days sightseeing in Chicago but we didn't realise how far out of town this hotel is. It's not really near anything which makes getting anywhere pretty impossible without a car (or a really expensive cab ride) so we're just going to hang out here. The hotel has a hot tub and a pool, and is right next to a mall for cheap eating. Honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to a couple of days of doing nothing before I fly home.
I can catch up on my DCBB reading if nothing else *g*
