Extremely good con; it was I believe the first time I have ever made it to all three days of a three-day convention in which I was not staying in the hotel, which is a pleasing personal record.

I went to a great many panels and I saw a great many people (some of them, sadly, for microseconds). Got a complete Cordwainer Smith at half off and a complete Zenna Henderson People stories at full price. Filled in some holes in my Bruce Coville. Gave a valentine. Got a valentine. Had some remarkably good sushi. Got to see the staging of Jo Walton's Tam Lin, and it was lovely.

And sang in the Sassafrass concert.

We don't have the entire thing on Youtube, but we do have the premieres:

The death of Baldur, in not-quite-operatic format: Sundown.*

From the same song cycle, the Odin and Loki duet: My Brother, My Enemy.

I am hoping I will manage to write up the con-as-a-whole more thoroughly later; we'll see. I still haven't crashed yet, though, so I suspect that will be post-crash and post-revival-following.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and a happy Valentine's Day.

* If you know me offline, my casting in this piece should be both obvious and inevitable. Always nice not to have to do any costuming.
