The three coolest things that happened to me at Worldcon

[nwhyte]

As some of you know, I was Director of Promotions for Loncon 3, the recently concluded World Science Fiction Convention. If I have the energy, I will write up longer thoughts about the entire event, but just here and now I want to record the three coolest things that happened to me - all on the same day, Sunday 17th.

The Third Coolest thing That

I saw Aldiss too on Sunday, walking out of the closing ceremony long after everybody was gone, when I and another volunteer were waiting to go and clean up. Didn't want to harass him but it was nice seeing him.

(As it was meeting you if only for a minute on Thursday!)

I remember a very pleasant while talking to Brian Aldiss at Novacon40, not about his work but about the ability of book collections to require 10 percent of available shelf space than is available. I asked him about the possibility of expanding the available space either by extending or moving and he said his wife wouldn't let him.

Oh, how *utterly* splendid on every single level. Oh, how wonderful! Yay! ♥!

I should say that dancing with you at the 80s disco was also pretty cool, and may indeed have been technically on Sunday (was certainly very late Saturday)!

I'm very glad these three cool things happened.

Brian Aldiss lives in Headington, Oxford, just round the corner from the White Hart pub which T used to run, so I have actually poured him a drink in the past. I never managed to get on with any of his books, though.
