Back From Worldcon

[pola_bear]

Whee, squee and all that jazz. I got back from my first Worldcon yesterday, having had a week of much fun. I'm trying to think of highlights, but as there were many and it's already fuzzy I'm sure to forget stuff.

But basically I had lots and lots of fun. Talked to lots of people including people I already knew, people I only knew periferally, people I'd only heard of and people I knew nothing of in the first place. I attended some great panels, a belly-dancing workshop, a few concerts, a couple of game-show-type-things, a play, a masquerade and probably more. I went to some good parties. I did some scientific experiments. I played ring toss with Hugos.

And I have mentioned no one specifically mainly because I wouldn't mention everyone, so there we go. If I can be bothered I might be more detailed at a later point.

Ok, um, sorry for being so dumb, but was Worldcon a SF Con in Germany?

Sounds like fun. Looking forward to 2007. :D

No, it was a SF con in Glasgow.

It was fun. You're going to the Japan worldcon then? Cool!

Um, not sure yet. 2007 was the only future worldcon I could remember! :)

Hey! It's me. Friend of the third row freaks. We talked a little (helpful hint - Rachel).

Was wondering if it's ok to friend you?

[pola-bear.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course it's okay. (Thanks for the hint, I do remember you now).
