on my way home
I'm currently at the Sweet Water Brewing Company in the airport waiting for my flight. I have treats for Patty, and am glad I am wearing a dress for this part of the trip -- I only hate being called ma'am when wearing male attire, and everyone calls women ma'am in this airport. One last travel note: I avoided the evil full-body scanner.
Meanwhile, what a great Dragon*Con! I gave good panel; I got good panel; I saw old and new friends; and I feel really re-energized about some stuff. (ConSweet is good; really, really good). And I didn't have the huge wave of melancholy I usually do at this con, although I attribute that to a few things, including not having room for it; the lack of panel content about the media I'm super emotional about; and really having a place to channel it into with ConSweet.
Since I have offered to both on Twitter and on panels, I will be putting up recap posts for each of the panels (outside of the readings) I did over the weekend (thank you YA-Lit track, Brittrack, SF Lit Track, Alt History track, the Dragon*con Comics & Popular Arts Conference and the Anime/Manga track that provided space for the panel I was on) followed by a directory post that will point you to each of them (this will possibly while I'm on the airplane (it's dependent on Gogo availability and if there's turbulence which I don't enjoy)). The YA-Lit LGBT panel discussion I already posted a couple of days ago, so the directory post should make that more findable.
If you're new to this journal thanks to the con, please say hi and feel free to friend me. I also leave anonymous posting on (although with IP-logging), so if you do not have an LJ account or feel the need to be anonymous in the discussions (as opposed to pseudonymous), that's superfine too.
I will post a more personal recap tonight or tomorrow about things like cool Torchwood peeps I hung out with, awesome roommates, how fucking crowded Dragon*con is, and the way the con's relationship with alcohol seemed more toxic to me this year than in the past later/soon.
Sundries posts will resume tomorrow.
