On Friday of Wiscon, I worked in the morning and only just got there before the Gathering started, but it happened to be excellent timing as I was sitting in the lobby when nwhepcat and gwynnega walked into the hotel. I hooked up with them pretty immediately and hung out for the rest of the con.
The coolest thing I did at the Gathering this year was make my own curry powder (this was the one thing justnukeit saw on the schedule and actually wanted to do, so I brought some home to him.) We also went by the bpal sniffing table and chatted with cynthia1960. Then we headed out to the "It's Not about Identity" panel.
One of the panelists, Andrea Hairston, demonstrated polyrhythmic drumming while speaking and it was on e of the niftiest things I saw all con. They also talked about things like bracketing and identity politics and overall it was an excellent panel.
Then we headed out to dinner and I had the best best meal of Wiscon, a lamb and goat cheese sandwhich with pickled veggies. WOW. So yummy.
Came back and went to Livejournal and Wiscon and then Sherlock Dracula before heading briefly up to the parties before passing out.
