mdlbear: blue fractal bear with text "since 2002" (Default)
raw notes )

Yesterday went pretty well. I got to the con around 9:30 for my 10am panel on the future of privacy, when went back for Colleen and the YD. We finally got back home somewhere around 3:30. I cleverly packed my netbook charger, but cleverly forgot the netbook itself (after carefully syncing it, of course). <irony>Clever bear.</irony>

My evening glass of gin seems to have helped considerably with the spasmed muscle in my right shoulder, so that's good. The YD made dinner - lemon turkey with biscuits. I ate too many biscuits. That's not so good for my weight.

Westercon is definitely in trouble -- the final body count, according to Colleen, was 540. Now, admittedly, falling somewhere between Baycon and Worldcon, in an expensive but wretched hotel and a bad economy, one can expect fewer people than usual. But still... Hopefully the next two can, with top-notch committees and plenty of publicity, reverse that trend.

Some links in the notes.

The concert was divided into two sections: a journey through time and space; and myths, legends, and current events. I think it came off reasonably well modulo a couple of major flubs where I lost my concentration. Have to work on that.
