WisCon Highlights and Observations Part 1 (through Friday night)

[skogkatt]

I have just returned from my first ever WisCon. For those of you who are unfamiliar with WisCon, it's a feminist science fiction convention, which takes place every Memorial Day weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. The astute reader may recall that this is usually my birthday weekend. Historically, this means I usually spend my birthday weekend watching

This sounds terrific! (As for my birthday weekend, It was spent 100% taking care of my sick son. But the comments on my birthday post made the day brighter!)

[skogkatt]

Oh no! I'm sorry you were stuck with a sick person all day. I really wished you were at WisCon with me (because you would have loved it!), but since you weren't there, I posted a castle for you. It's not the same, I know, but it was all I had.

[sartorias]

That castle was one of my delights!

Looking forward to the rest of your Wiscon report!

Soon! Maybe tomorrow. I'm just so exhausted. I love going to cons and meeting new people and having great conversations with old friends, but when I come home, I inevitably end up in deep introvert crash mode.

I saw that you went to see (and liked) Kung Fu Panda 2, and I'm really glad you got to do something a little fun near your birthday!

[sartorias]

Totally understand that post-con crash and need to process. Especially when things get intense.

Looking forward to your report when you can.

Oh, Kung Fu Panda was just wonderful--we loved it.

Post con I tend to go into my bedroom, shut the door, and wear earplugs for about a day.

Hello, you! I have just added you as you are awesome and clearly a person I should know. I regret that we did not talk more at WisCon, but it was excellent to meet you.

[sparkymonster]

Yay! It was xlnt to meet you as well.

Also Sumana beating down the liquor store door is still hilarious.
