I meant to write during WorldCon, really. In the end, though, I was
just too busy; I didn't even manage to call Earl, despite having told
him that I'd call him either Thursday or Friday night. But I was
busy, she says plaintively. I really was.
Busy doing what? Well, ah. I went to panels from about 10am to 5pm,
with side trips for food when there weren't any interesting panels. In
the evenings I had more food, and then there was filking, which kept me
busy until about 4am. Then five hours of sleep, and up again to do
more panels and food and meeting people and such.
Teresa Nielsen Hayden had a good quote about this, which I am going to
steal whole cloth.
"A great many things happened. I'm very clear on some of them; others
I can recall, but not their significance. And there are some things I
seem to remember, but frankly I don't believe them. I'd be willing to
assume that I dreamt the whole thing while lying on a floor somewhere,
except that would not account for my current location and
condition."
That's what WorldCon was like. Really. Later I'll try putting
together a list of the books I bought there.
