this was a good Norwescon. i didn't do all the socializing with friends that i would have liked, but i did manage a lot of hugs and cheeful waves.
highlights:
lowlights:
overall i managed to stay well-fed and well-rested, and this trip really felt like a little vacation. i came home refreshed instead of exhausted.
highlights:
- best room yet: view corner room in the tower complete with a couch and coffee table.
- a NASA meatball sticker is now covering up the "TOSHIBA" on my netbook. sticker courtesy Bridget Landry.
- Mary Robinette Kowal's one-woman shadow puppet show.
- buying a lovely brass Seal of Rassilon pin that i can wear with business or formal wear.
- the miracle berry tasting, AKA i drank a shot of vinegar and it was delicious.
- finally making it to the Scotch tasting party (thanks,
jackwilliambell). - my request for the dance on Saturday totally got played in the midnight block of songs.
lowlights:
- got to see the Sounders game in the bar, but it was an awkward 0-0 tie
- never running into
miss_swamp + failing to see
solcita's concert - unknitting
- feeling absences
