back from Wiscon

[gwynnega]

I got home from Madison last night, after an epic day of travel (resulting from my original flight being canceled due to weather). Wiscon was excellent, especially getting to hang out with my friends, including nwhepcat, oracne, cafenowhere and many others. The panel and reading I participated in were both a lot of fun (especially the reading, with cafenowhere, Patty Templeton, and shadesong). N.K. Jemisin's and Hiromi Goto's Guest of Honor speeches were very powerful.

Books I bought at the con:

Women Scientists in Fifties Science Fiction Films by Bonnie Noonan
Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
Re-Generating WisCon edited by Rebecca J. Holden
Naomi Mitchison: A Profile of Her Life and Work by Lesley A. Hall

Also I bought a beautiful necklace by elisem entitled "Pink Ladies of the Singularity."

I may have eaten more cheese and drank more alcohol than I usually do at Wiscon. Fried cheese curds plus a giant gin beverage are an ill-advised combination, but I was relatively unscathed.

I heard those speeches were history-in-the-making good. Some day I will make it there!

Hurrah for your great Wiscon. (Even with a lot of cheese.)

Thanks, Lori! (In all fairness, no one forced me to eat the cheese.)
