"It happens now or else it won't." (Part Two)

Jun 22, 2013 12:57

We had a rather fantastic day out yesterday, and I want to write about it, but, instead, I am determined to forge ahead with my "Shit I Liked And/Or That Mattered" account of last weekend in New Orleans before it slips away. This time last week, I was in the Queen Anne Parlour...wait, I'll get to that. But yes, a very nice Solstice, and we are past ( Read more... )

Love how you look, actually. Quite cool.

It was declared I ought be the 12th Doctor. I could live with that.

You've got my vote unless Helen Mirren's willing.

No offense, my dear, but Helen Mirren just has a whole lot more onscreen acting experience and she'd be damned good as the Doctor.

Sigh. You are wholly correct.

It sounds, and looked, like something akin to a homecoming. I'm glad I could watch you win even though I was so far away.

And your last entry was signed, "Tired, In A Good Way," and I smiled when I read that.

I wish the web stream were archived somewhere. I'm told the sonic screwdriver bit went over well.

I think the part that went over best was that they gave the award for best novel to the best novel. That's a rarer occurrence than it should be.

Oh, pshaw.

9. Yes, you managed to have an Hour That Stretches. Harlan would be proud.

greygirlbeast June 22 2013, 17:20:03 UTC

Harlan would be proud.

And who could ask for more?

Readercon has kaffeeklatches scheduled for 9:00 am on Sunday, which seems unusually cruel. At least that hotel is usually good about providing actual coffee.

I'd only ever peeped into Kelly Link's at Readercon, where there were muffins and much coffee. Which is what I expected in New Orleans. But no. Also, fuck 9:00 a.m. No way that's ever gonna happen.

I'll be there at 9:00 a.m. to fulfill my auctorial obligations, but I'm not promising anyone alertness or sobriety. Not that it matters, since I doubt we'll have an audience at that hour.

greygirlbeast June 22 2013, 17:50:31 UTC

I could not even promise consciousness.

I've been to 2 Kaffeeklatches and both had tea and coffee (but no pastries), and one had cookies. I really enjoyed both and am glad yours ended up successful!

As well they must. In the future, should I ever do another, it will be on that condition.
