fullygoldy: Yellow Roses (Polycon)

Arrgh!  Allergies are kicking my butt, and I've got so much to say about WisCon!  Coming soon:

Saturday Panels - Lady Poetesses from Hell and Sexism: A Spotter's Guide deserve require their own posts. 

Saturday Parties - there was homebrew!  And it wasn't from Small Beer Press, go figure.

Reactions of a closet introvert/Overall perceptions - attending this on my own was a pretty big stretch for me.  By and large, everyone I spoke to was thoughtful, intelligent, sincere and friendly.  And lots of them could bring the sarcasm along with the funny.  This is a damn cool group.

Sunday Night - I don't think I can do the guests of honor justice, so I'm going to look for a transcript of their speech.  
Then there are the Sunday parties, and the fancy dress (tiaras!), and the people I met, including one person I could not keep my eyes off, so I walked over and started talking to her on the lamest, flimsiest excuse for an opener ever. ::sigh:: At least she humored me and hung around until our beers were gone.
