OVFF, Part 2
Oct. 24th, 2010 09:56 amI am so glad I got our panel rescheduled.
Mitch and TJ's concert was great fun. I cried during "Lullaby For A Weary World". (Really good idea to close with that, what could follow?) Then I went out in the halls for awhile. I was not feeling great -- one of my occasional mystery bouts of tachycardia, and it was going on long enough that I was getting nervous. Many thanks to Kathleen, Judith, and Bill for easing me out of it and calming me down.
Then it was s00j's concert, superb as usual. And then the Bedlam Bards, muchly fun. And then I snuck out, got some dunch, and went back to the Motel 6 for a nap.
Bad news: Missed UT's concert. Sigh. I'll ask Harold for some audio. Missed Pegasus Award ceremony. As previously posted, congrats to all the winners.
Good news: Woke up around 9:30, ready to sing for awhile.
I went back to the hotel, and ran into Becca, who has been wanting to interview me for a dissertation project or somesuch. We went into the not-being-used Kid Space, and did the interview. Then I wandered about, looking for a sing with room, and found one in the main room. Very pleasant -- Dene from Ghost Of A Rose, Howard, Robin and Cat eventually, a few other folks. The lovely Allison, with whom I hung out and hugged a lot. I did a few songs, and left about two hours later.
I ended up wedging myself into the room with Mitch and TJ, Vixy and Tony, Batya, Rand and Erin, Mark after a fashion, folks like that. Mitch and TJ had heard "Hey, It's Can(n)on", but not "I Had A Shoggoth". Hee. With Tony playing back-up, Will Frank did "When I Was A Boy", and oh my FSM were we abusing him. "Back when Fortran was not even threetran." "You had threes!?" Then Mark did the Dorsai version, which I had not heard, and then Tony did Moonwulf's porno version....
Very fun.
I snuck out of there around 3:00 a.m., and went to one of the nearby benches to cuddle and talk with Cync, who I just don't see enough of these days. Other nice folks kept coming up with hugs and talk and silly and yeah. And I finally got out of there just before 4:00 a.m., came back to the room, and actually got a bit of sleep.
Now I have to get it together, go back, maybe do a bit of work with Toyboat, do my panel with s00j, hang out for awhile, and decide if I'm going to stay over one more night. Very nice weekend.
You?
