sasha_featherI made it in to WisCon today and had a lot of fun!
The most challenging thing for me today was wearing a mask for a long period. It set off my facial pain, and also I did not eat and drink enough for a portion of the day. So, I sat in the bar and had food and talked and laughed with people, and that was great. Hung out with Cabell, Emily, Bessy and Eric.
Had a weird moment in the Con Suite area, which was totally down to concussion symptoms, they call it being emotionally labile.
I did attend the GoH speeches but probably should not have; the chair was uncomfortable and I started feeling more and more restless and in pain. TBH the speeches aren't really my thing. I did like the part at the beginning where the chairs had us make some noise together, instead of having a moment of silence. That was wonderful.
At home now, feeling very cheered by seeing good friends, eating lots of food, dressing up, feeling creative energies flowing.
Took 4 union cab rides so far,
Cabbie 1: has been to WisCon in the past, likes Andy Weir, Murderbot, and the Invisible Library. Delight to talk to her. (eta, it was I who told her about Murderbot, now that I think about it).
Cabbie 2: didn't talk much, a relief after a day at con.
Cabbie 3: Loves Star Trek and I tried to convince him to watch Andor. Another delight.
Cabbie 4: Likes... Heinlein. Hahah! Oh dear. He may be a Heinlein fan but at least he's a Union man.
