sasha_featherWisCon run-down!
I was on 3 panels:
--Rethinking Disabling Metaphors (Hot topic, apparently!)
--Disability and Battlestar Galactica
--Taking WisCon Home: Book Clubs
They all went really well! Good audience participation, good fellow panelists and mods, and I think I had good things to say.
I only went to 3 others: Fanfic and Slash; The Vidshow panel; and "Robots Past and Future". All were quite fun.
One of the best parts of WisCon is always meeting people and hanging out with friends.trouble gave me a giant hug and was an instant friend. I bounced up and down at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
haddayr and asked her how to pronounce her name. "Ha-DAR", she said, "Like the Jem'Hadar." I may have swooned a bit! I met raanve and wrdnrd, who I felt like I already knew. I met ch0me_kitten who is totally awesome and said smart things during the BSG panel. I had lunch with Tempest, who talked about her Mary Worth fanvids. I fangirled some people, but less than I have in the past. I hung out a lot with littlebutfierce, laceblade, were_duck, general_jinjur, futuransky jesse_the_k, and probably a bunch of others. Totally awesome people everywhere! And badgerbag gave me a hug!! I'm glad that at least some of these people are local, but I wish they all were! Thank goodness for the internet. And I'm glad I signed up to go to Think GalactiCon!
Overall I felt a *lot* better than I did last year. I remember leaving a meal last year and having to go stand outside to get some fresh air. I remember having headaches every day. This year, I think I only had a headache on Friday during the white allies dinner. Big win! There was one night I didn't go to any parties. I'm glad I paced myself, because I stayed up until four at the infamous Beer and Marmalade kegger.
Can't wait until next year! Whoo!
