After the glow has faded

[windelina]

I'm experiencing post-con let-down. I get three-plus days of full-on social interaction, and then it's like going cold-turkey. I both need the down-time and yearn for more interaction.

I am conflicted.

I have many thoughts and stories to tell. They are all blurry. I should start taking notes at conventions, darn it.

I am sad that because I run the darn thing, and because of the way it affects my energy and attention span, I did not get quality time with a number of people. I have resigned myself to this over the years, and also come to believe that people accept this about me. That said, it was wonderful to see and hug cjdoyle, jenx, bloodlossgirl, uglyzebras and redbird23. I wish I could've gotten more face time. But there's always Omegacon!

Other brief highlites, to hold you over for the nonce:
- Lex as Bad Kitty always makes a convention better
- vackovich petting my head. It felt goooood.
- Teacher-woman's survey comments: "as per their wont"
- Pizza and survey review
- A conversation about peanut butter with Andrew Probert
- Getting to meet Katherine Kurtz
- The Iron Artist Panel
- All of my panels were well-attended and seemed to go well. The costuming panel rocked and the J.C. Intervention kicked serious bootay.
- DFB has confirmed his unremitting awkwardness.
- Getting to sit a panel with silmarian
- Making Adam V. do Samba de Amigo with me
- My nephew wanting to come back next year and wanting to do the Masquerade

- A smooth Registration deployment, with added bonus of improved bonding
- Getting to see all my friends
- The Guardian of Frikkin' Forever, baby!
- The Omegacon posters, the Vice City posters, the Dystopia posters, the Dregs posters
- Wandering around reviewing all the posters with Lexinatrix and JKlumpp
- "Marco" "Polo!"
- Another kickass room party from the MISFITS officers
- A kickass room party for Omegacon
- Kickass room parties every where!
- Having a cell phone made things MUCH easier

- Getting to perform with David Ossman! In a really funny radio play!
That was absolutely hysterical! And I finally got to see you perform! You do sexy voice quite well, btw. . .

Doing the Radio Show is such a blast! I'm really happy with how people are starting to show up for it.

And hey, thanks for the sexy voice thing. I'll give you an encore performance at Omegacon. *wink*

Only if you do it and rub me while I'm sitting in a chair like you did to Cj last year!

[redbird23.livejournal.com]

Yay! You posted! I keep jumping on to check.

I missed getting to spend more time with you too, but knew and understood that you were busy.

I'm just looking forward to more details - you live such a different con than I do...

I did not get quality time with a number of people

Hey, I got some quality time with you...Five minutes...which, I think, for both of us, was almost a Saturday-nite-attention-span record for friends and acquaintences...

credit where credit is due...

jmanna also participated in getting the slippers and was the one that pointed them out to me.

What was "the funniest joke of the weekend"?

[windelina.livejournal.com]

There are still a few people who need to ... experience the joke.
Once it has fully deployed, I will post it in detail.

Whee! Hoodie made the hit list!

It certainly deserved to; a more awesome hoodie I have never seen!
