[traveling] Wiscon 40

[carlamlee]

So, ten years after I first attended, I returned to Wiscon. I haven't been since Wiscon 32, for a lot of reasons, some personal, some having to do with the homophobia, biphobia, fat hate, and racism I both experienced and saw others experience at the three Wiscons I did attend, but a couple years ago, my writing group decided we should do a reunion

1. This makes me want to go back to Dragon*Con, but I don't know if I'd ever be able to. Cons are rough, man.
2. Holy shit, the world is thisbig. I used to know cabell back in the day and I think she sent me a VHS of Wild Things way back when she was clearing out her movies. I was most certainly in undergrad, so probably like 2004/2005. Thisbig, man. Holy poop.
3. I'm glad you had fun and are fighting the good fight, even if traffic blew, but you got to see your friends, yay!
3a. I wish I had a writing group. I wish I had dedication to my writing as you do, versus the haphazard things I have posted on LJ throughout the years. This is inspiring. I need to get me a group... for something!

sounds like a very productive con, overall! whenever I go to some huge meeting like that, I always have to plan breaks and downtime because it's so easy to get overwhelmed by crowds and stimulation. it's just not possible to "do it all" -- at least not if you're like me.
