oh god so tired

The con has a Business Center where you can check email. This is the first time I have managed to get into it without there being a Giant Line. So consider email still intermittent/not answerable &c.

I am alive! It is a good con!

Books I have acquired:
Redemption in Indigo, Karen Lord
The Serial Garden, Joan Aiken
Gay, Bejeweled Nazi Bikers of Gor, H. Torger Vedeler (those of you who did not come to this reading missed something)

I had the opportunity to buy that John Christopher book about Nazi leprechauns that rachelmanija reviewed that one time but I did not do so because no.

At some point, I hope to achieve food. Since this only vaguely happened yesterday, I have Doubts. We will see! I know that tomorrow there will be a Tiptree bakesale, and there's a consuite and all; the issues are purely scheduling.

Have gone into vague panic mode about the prospect of no one coming to my reading. I mean no one who isn't sleeping with me or the sort of close friend who is required by law. Have also gone into vague panic mode about the prospect that people may come and not like it. Maybe I should have made cookies.

So ANYWAY more bookshop and then nineweaving's reading and then the Steampowered: Lesbian Steampunk Stories reading and then try for dinner.

In conclusion CON.

I hope you enjoyed the reading and my story comported itself well in S.'s hands, and am glad to hear you're enjoying yourself in general. Food, like lavatories, is one of the things that has always stymied me about cons. May you find something tasty and not a million billion dollars of expensive.

I am so looking forward to your review.

I have that John Christopher book.

People will come to your reading, and if they don't then you can just chat with your close friends who go. No need to panic, because the worst case is still OK. First reading I did at a Worldcon I had rysmiel and redbird and a woman from Florida who'd just loved The King's Peace to bits and was longing to hear the beginning of the sequel. There was just one of her, and so just three people altogether, but hey.

Redemption in Indigo is good. The Serial Garden is good aside from the stories which weren't published in Aiken's lifetime, as you can see why. (I really, really want Small Beer to do a collection of her non-Armitage children's stories.)

One of these years I really need to make it to Readercon (I live 15 minutes away), but I keep having conflicts.

I was muchly pleased and grateful that you came to my reading, and I really enjoyed your take on Frank Miller. A historian he ain't...

Your reading was magnificent, and I am home safe, and you are a joy and a delight to me in ever so many ways.
