Tired, missing my Cat, but well-fed and happy to be home. Managed to aggravate the tendinitis in my right knee going up and down stairs during loadout; took the last loads down by elevator. By that time there were only two left operating. We got the final load out with mere minutes to spare before the checkout time of 12:00.

Except for the afternoon filk concerts I spent pretty much all day ( Read more... )

As predicted, Loscon is being weird. Good, mostly, but weird. Got pounce-hugged by snobahr in the lobby, and much later had a good conversation in the elevator lobby. Spent a lovely couple of hours talking to impresaria1 by the pool as she watched her three ( Read more... )

There are only two functioning elevators. It's going to be a disaster. I'm rather glad Colleen's not here -- we're already looking at 20-minute waits; it'll be an hour or two in line by tomorrow.

At least my room number, 640, is easy to remember. And I can handle 5 floors worth of walking as long as my knees hold out.

Over the course of the last couple of mornings I've finally finished fixing my toolchain software, and in particular the rather misnamed album.make, to handle multiple named sessions (concerts, for example) in a single directory. There are, needless to say, a few bugs left, but I should have split copies of cflute's and tibicina's concerts at ( Read more... )

This year's OVFF marked the first anniversary of the late-night conversation and song-swapping session with pocketnaomi (briefly mentioned here) that I think of as the first sign of the changes that eventually led to the River posts.

It was particularly appropriate, then, that she spent the con crashing in ( Read more... )

This is basically just a set of random notes. First the health notes:

Didn't manage to get out for a walk at all; did some walking Thursday and Monday in the DFW airport.

Stayed on the gluten-free diet pretty well, modulo a couple of brownies in the con suite and a slice of German chocolate cake at the Pegasus dinner.

I forgot my ( Read more... )

Many hugs and goodbyes this morning. Didn't sing even once in the Dead Dog, but there was a little hallway filk on the way back to the room at midnight, where I sang The River for quadrivium (who I particularly wanted to hear it because it's just crying out for a piano arrangement), weirdsister, sweetmusic_27, and ( Read more... )

Not much to say about Saturday, really. Lots of good conversation, but I've forgotten most of the details.

Sang The River as a one-shot in the morning group, and took in the concerts, which were wonderful as usual.

People have already posted the details of the Pegasus awards, so I don't have to.

After the Peggies I crawled off ( Read more... )

I think I'm going to do this in reverse chronological order:
