Worldcon Day Four - Sun
Woken by my alarm at 7:00 only time I didn't wake myself. Then made myself breakfast (porridge & tea) - Café I have been getting breakfast at didn't open until 9am on Sun - got train and stopped off for a 6" breakfast sub with coffee for only £2.80 so also got one for lunch & can of ginger beer for £3.50
Got DLR to ExCel for 9:15
Saw live Quiddich match on village lawn - left after 40 min when play opened up to give spectators a go!
Joined a panel in which Authors talked about Fan Works both that they had done and which had been done to them. Then managed a double Kaffeeklatsch first with Gail Carriger (I really must read the books I've bought and buy the ones missing), then with Madie Robins, only four people signed up.
Ate lunch in the Library then up to N11 for a wander around. Not enough book stalls. Most are single imprints (apart from FP & a couple of 2nd hand stores).
Said hi to Mikki D and her costume
Up to L3 charged iPod and listened to audible book.
Went to catherynne valente's reading, and unfortunately droped off to sleep part way through!
Back to the fan village and bought a supporting membership for MidAmeriCon II (Worldcon in 2016) for £30. Then I walked through the ExCek and on to Tesco; got belgian bun and milkshake £1.50 and also had Goumet Burger and fries £6.50. Then got ice cream cone for £2 (so total cost £10). Walked back to ExCel for 6:45 Charged iPod in library chatted with Amanda (history of t'internet!)
Brad Templeton's telepresence robot "Beam" was also charging.
At 7:20 I joined the Hugo queue on L1 and only took 6 min to get in and sat down by 7:28
While waiting for the show to stard a slideshow of Hugo finalists were shown on the big screen.
The Hugo awards started at 8:10 and were streamed live on ustream.com they ended at 10:05. Went straight to Prince Regent DLR station and caught 10:24 to Canning Town then 10:37 to Woolwich Arsenal and then 10:55 to Charlton. Got to hotel 11:03
Made coffee and ready for bed
