Con.txt post the first!

Okay, we're going to have to do this in parts because it is taking too long to write and it would be too long to digest anyway.

con_txt! Happened this weekend, as it does every two years in D.C.; this was my second time. There were many enjoyable panels, a party, a vid show, and meals with friends and new acquaintances. The local crew was there (cinco,

Coming soon to an LJ near you. :) Yeah, the Community panel was definitely about basking and glee and delving into what might be coming next - I felt bad for any casual fans in the room or people who wanted to learn what Community was all about. But only a little bad, heh.

Not a huuuge fan, but Top 10 is fun. I prefer the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, though, if we're talking Alan Moore and 'superheroes' *g*

I always thought Kock had a certain ring to it. God, pun totally not intended /o\

It took me ages to work out why Tom Hardy had such a fangirl following. I'm not sure I even noticed him in Inception!

[bironic]

I remember noticing him in Inception because I saw the movie after watching the million and one Arthur/Eames fics pop up, but I also remember not being impressed. Turns out I like Tom Hardy a lot more in any of his other movies that I've seen (The Reckoning, Rocknrolla, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, even his bitty role in Layer Cake... ugh, except maybe the disaster that was ST: Nemesis) than as Eames.

Re: Kock, that came up too (there is a pun for you in return!), but apparently is used more as a joke and less commonly than Spork/Spirk? I hadn't heard it before the panel, or had forgotten hearing about it, so TBH I may have snorted.

We will see re: Top Ten! holli did a great job of pimping various aspects of the books that I may enjoy (vampire mobsters! Joan of Arc with a random tiny spaceship!), so I am intrigued. Bet the library has League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, although I have a vague memory of possibly having read a volume many years back thanks to a coworker.

I first saw (or technically, noticed) Tom Hardy in Stuart: A Life Backwards, which is... not exactly the most attractive of roles. While he did a great job, that's who I see when I see him, and I don't think I will EVER be able to shake it off, lol.

[bironic]

Eh, looking at it from the perspective of someone who's grown to like him in other roles, I think he looks lovely in that clip, but I haven't seen the whole movie. Regardless: Hmmmmmmm, I wonder who else you might have been looking at in that movie instead?

Con.Txt report! (ish)

[livejournal]

User alpheratz referenced to your post from Con.Txt report! (ish) saying: [...] wrote up a great report on that one [...]

[alpheratz]

Really awesome report! You were smart to type this up during the panels. :D

[bironic]

Thanks! The pre-typed notes are going to help as well with the other parts that are coming...

[cincodemaygirl]

Omg, your writeups are amazing--I am happy to hear (because I didn't see this? idek?) that you were typing notes, because if you hadn't I was going to have to be SO VERY JEALOUS of your memory! Is it okay if I link your writeups in my own (mainly for Community, so far)? This is great!

[bironic]

Sure, of course! Yeah, I started the weekend with a notebook but then started typing up those notes and new notes, figuring it'd save time in the write-ups. ...Not sure if that turned out to be true, but whatever! It's exactly because I have a terrible memory for this much detail that I have to note-take at cons - there's so much I want to remember about the discussions, and unlike when arguments (in the academic sense, not the wank sense) originate in LJ/DW posts, there's nothing to go back to later to reference unless you make something (or know someone else is going to make something), you know?
