Back from Wiscon. We left the hotel yesterday, Tuesday, morning and got in at a decent hour, though the car ride was hot as blazes.
Great time. Cool to meet the Farrago's Wainscot crew in full and hear![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
ripperbard read his poetry which was wonderful, really one of the highlights of the weekend for me. Well, that and hearing Isaiah read in place of Maureen McHugh (delayed flight). Isaiah read from darinbradley's manuscript and gave his theories on why dinosaurs are extinct, which involve the eating of ears.
Having Jason Williams of Nightshade bust into a room party where my head was spinning, march up to me with finger pointing, crazy eyes blazing, and shouting, "Your book was totally bad-ass!" Seeing Jesse of Scribe Agency do his 28 Weeks Later zombie run. The Sunday night, all-too-brief dance party. A couple lengthy chats withsquirrelmonkey, who's become one of my favorite people to see at Wiscon - just adore her. Very cool to catch up with Chris Barzak a tad and hear his thoughts on his forthcoming novel One for Sorrow, novel process, how he enjoyed working with Juliet Ulman, and othewise shooting the shit. Scheming with markteppo, whom Isaiah calls "markteppo," about our respective tarot stories and how they might get leggoed together. Coffee(s) with Midori Snyder and Terry Windling. Hearing Ellen Kushner sing a snippet of a folksy song over yogurt and juice in the con suite (sweet voice, that woman!) and getting a signed copy of Privilege of the Sword. Hearing yuki_onnaenthuse about Teh Teppo's "Harry Potemkin." The masked concertina player. Old Retard. Laughing until I have to wave a white flag and tell people to shut the fuck up.
Meeting Andrea Hairston! Wow, what a cool woman. She's guest of honor at Diversicon so I'm hoping to see her again this summer. And the icing on the cake wassilk_noir, who really just needs one more drink.
More later. Still just getting my brain around the weekend. Tell me what I forgot.
Wait. Don't. No!
