More Random Thoughts About WisCon

[julieandrews]

I was worried I'd lose everything I typed in the last one if I didn't post it.

Okay, so, more thoughts.

Books - I bought the WisCon Chronicles and the chapbook thing with the two GOH stories in it at Room of One's Own, along with 2 used paperbacks. Then I got 6 ARCs at Galley Ho. Then I bought a book at the Circlet Press party. And that might have been the end of it, but then I put in bids at the Tiptree silent auction and won some paperbacks that Ellen Kushner had donated. (And a Riker yo-yo, because it struck me as ridiculous, and plus Star Trek.) I also got a rainbow flag at Room, which I haven't seen yet if it survived transport in my suitcase. And a Tiptree shirt. I think that's everything. I didn't get anything in the Dealer's Room this year. Partly because I was conscious that I only had so much room in my carryon luggage (since I didn't intend to check a bag).

Panel - I was on a midnight TV panel. I thought that went pretty well. I totally forgot to talk about Once Upon a Time/Wonderland, but we all know they're pretty awesome, right? I could have gone on about Doctor Who or Sleepy Hollow, but there were tons of panels specifically about them.

Missed People - Kater didn't go! (Booo.) Ellen Klages hurt her back and wasn't there. That was a real downer for a lot of people. Mary Robinette Kowal also wasn't there, and I was looking forward to running into her, since she'll be at the workshop I'm going to in a couple weeks.

Twitter/WiFi - The hotel wifi was suckier than it's ever been before. I would type up a tweet only to be told I was no longer connected to the wifi. It did improve after most people had left, but that's not much help, is it?!

Panels - Panels are awesome.

People - People are even more awesome. I met people I knew. I met people I sort of knew. And I met people that I should have known, if I'd had a better memory. And I met new people. Yay new people! I didn't meet any Clarion 2012 or 2013 people, but I heard y'all were adorable.

Um.. oh, I read the latest WisCon Chronicles on the plane. (Not all of it, but several bits of it) And it's always worthwhile to buy and read some or all of those. You learn about aspects of the con that you didn't experience yourself. Because you are not capable of being everywhere, and because you are not everyone. How you experience the con is always going to be different from how every other person experiences the con. And it can be eye-opening.

So definitely check those out. They're all still on sale from Aqueduct Press, and probably on Amazon.

I *loved* the TV panel and also hope I wasn't too obnoxious of an audience member. :)

To get a home with superior energy-efficiency and structural longevity, a modular log home builder can build you a home with unmatched performance. For homeowners who want to wow guests and passers-by by building a custom, luxury log home, only a handcrafted log home builder will do. Only by understanding what you want from your log home, and what http://granitt.site90.net your budgetary resources will allow, can you hope to find the right San Antonio log home builder. Q: Hi, our house is a cape which has two bedrooms on the first floor and two bedrooms and a half bath on the second floor. At some point in the future, we would like to add dormers (the house is a brick exterior w/a slate roof). Would this project be very costly (can you estimate a range) and about how long would the project take to complete?

Вопреки ошибочному мнению многих владельцев о том, что краткосрочная аренда квартир не имеет строгих правил относительно их оформления, от частного жилья постояльцы хотят больше удобств и комфорта, чем от гостиничного номера. Даже эконом-жилье должно быть приведено в порядок перед сдачей в аренду на сутки. Совсем не обязательно проводить затяжной капитальный ремонт, достаточно ограничиться http://buildconst.site11.com косметической маскировкой недостатков в интерьере. Первое впечатление от жилья на сутки будет решающим, поэтому важно навести чистоту и порядок, не мешает убрать лестничную площадку. Оснащение бытовой техникой определяет стоимость аренды и зависит от категории квартиры. Для эконом-жилья необходимо присутствие холодильника, микроволновой печи, телевизора и телефона. Для среднего уровня придется дополнить комплектацию стиральной машиной, музыкальными и видеопроигрывателями. Квартиры повышенной комфортности на сутки оснащены посудомоечной машиной и системой круглосуточной охраны.
