Worldcon Part 1 (or 2, or whatever it is, whoever I am)

Still busy around these parts, but I'm going to try to jot down a few notes on the Worldcon, with more perhaps to follow ( Read more... )

WOOF looks great and we were happy to contribute.

I did not, however, have the heart to tell you on site that our Yipe! contribution was bound into the compilation backwards (back to front).

I think (nay, hope) our prose is non-Garcian enough to make the problem apparent to the reader.

Good job you didn't tell him about the fork then...

Mark Plummer pointed out to me earlier today that the copy of Yipe in his copy of WOOF was backwards, and at that point I still hoped it was only his copy. I'm trying to think of something witty to say here, but all I'm coming up with is that I'm a total fucking idiot, which I realize isn't very witty. I can only apologize to you and Espana and Jason and Mette. Perhaps there is consolation in the realization that a maximum of 69 people will ever see this. Um. Shit!

Also, bless you for taking pity on me at the convention rather than ripping me a new one!

Firstly, "God of Pimm's" I will accept that as the proper form of address moving forward.

Second: I would argue strongly that I was also a semi-responsible adult :)

I'm not sure you can be a god and a responsible adult at the same time, Lord Pimm's.

This was, alas for me, not the best Worldcon for making new personal connections. Something about running the second-largest event of the weekend... but the unexpected ones I did were pretty cool.

Next year in Chicago, though...

We're not working the con (other than in advisory roles) and we'll all be in one hotel. I expect to spend a bit of time sitting a Westercon 66 table and a lot of time talking about Westercon 66. But we will find time for lunches, and dinners, and beers and parties that aren't our own.

The London Parties will, of course, be where things happen... and Pimm's... there MUST be Pimm's.
