Kansas City Day 9, MidAmericon 2 Day 5
The day started with Stroll with the Stars with David Brin, Joe, and Gay Haldeman. It was good walk and talk to some off the others about Worldcon history. I went to the Christian Service that was presided by Reverend Randy and Reverend Michael. Reverend Michael used Honor Harrington for the sermon.
I went to the press office to work on my Hugo Ceremony report. I then sent it off to interested websites. I went to two panels before Closing Ceremony. Closing Ceremony was short but to the point. The Guest of Honor thanked the convention. There was drinking of Jim Beam whiskey in honor of Bob Tucker. The con chairs from Worldcon 75 and encourage the audience to go to Helsinki. Afterwards I dropped of my Volunteer time card. I stayed at the press office for a while. There I got to talk to David Gerrold and Pat Cadigan. I helped Chris Barkley take the press gear (printer, computer, etc) to the hotel. At the hotel, I went to the Lady Business get together and it had a great talk about books and fan fic. Then I went to dinner with Chris Barkley, Juli Marr, Jason Ahlquist, Michaele Jordan, Dan Berger, Roger Jordan, and Jim. It was a good dinner while watching the Closing Ceremonies of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. I went to the convention center to check out the Dead Dog party and Fan Lounge. At the Fan Lounge, I got my fanzines and made sure Chris Garcia's program book was in safe hands. I stopped at Marriott bar and said hi to some Florida pros and fans. Then got ready for the trip home.
Panels I went to:
- MidAmericon I: A Conversation
- Can Hard Science Fiction Be to Hard?
