Whooo WorldCon.
Okay. I left home Tuesday, got into Dublin Wednesday, found out we couldn’t check in yet, went to a ship museum to kill time, I fell asleep in the hotel lobby before we got our room, and staggered out to meet people for Wednesday dinner after a long nap.
The con started Thursday and that has been pretty much my entire focus except for time carved out for (1) meals, (2) the LOML who is not attending the con, and (3) seeing people who are usually in entirely different countries from me. Usually these overlap some.
I am having a fantastic time and have written one of my pens completely dry; I have 24 handwritten pages of panel notes. I also have way fewer new books than I was worried I might end up with; I am trying to be mindful about that, bluntly, and it seems to be going okay.
I got a Seanan McGuire book and an Alex Wells book signed. The weather has finally stopped being gross. I have so many fantastic new recs and some bubbling ideas. I have met some fantastic people. I am getting up on Dublin time, but appear to be going to sleep on EST, and am really hoping I can fix this soon. And I am glad.
