WisCon, OMG!
Okay, having a pretty good time so far. Upon entering the hotel, the first person I saw was obafugakumof the wildly pink and purple hair, wearing a safety green vest, because she's heading up con safety this year with her dh, drakenfly. When I went upstairs to register, I saw N, who promptly hugged me and asked me to sniff his cologne and offer up an opinion.
Checked into The Gathering, and finally foundnayad. It took me awhile because her newest adorable haircut made her much harder to recognize right away.
Went to the first timers' dinner, but the group was so large we split into three groups - they went to Noodles, Saaz, and Frida's, all attainable on foot and all located on State St. I ended up with the Frida's group because I overheard the fearless leader describing it as having the best margaritas evar! (natch) I sat next to J from DC, and she's a total fantasy fan, and really has a great sense of humor. We sat across from a group of 4 friends that came out from NYC. (I didn't order a margarita, I got a mango sunrise instead and it was fantastic).
Returned for the Opening Ceremonies, which had a hilarious rendition of the "Rainbow Connection" remixed to "someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Convention, the old weird, the new weird and me" (the chorus changed each verse, I liked this one best). Sat with J, one of the other members of our dinner party,sasha_feather, who is also local, and Sasha's friend, E.
Went to our first panel (withsasha_feather) and while it didn't go in the direction I was expecting, it was interesting, thought provoking and lively. Later on, I spent an hour with K, further discussing the topic. K walked me out to my car and gave me a hug goodbye.
Today, the Lady Poetesses from Hell was SO TOTALLY WORTH IT!! More on that later. I gotta go eat, and change and head back for the parties!
