Gosh

So it looks like I'm going to Eastercon. How peculiar. My last big convention was Eastercon 1999, I think. (I did a lot of filksinging, discovered real cider, thought 'Hey, this is really mild,' then stood up and promptly fell over.) But I haven't really thought of myself as part of the fandom for a very long time. I don't even read much sci-fi any more. (Well, except for 'Falling Out Of Cars', which is sitting on my bedside table calling me a liar). It's going to be a bit like the returning-expat feeling.

But though I've been away so long, there are some things you can rely on not to have changed. I bet you without even looking at the program that there's going to be a panel called 'Is SF Dead?'

Ooh!

Does that mean what I think it means?

Yup :)
By the way, I happen to have a nice fizzy bottle chilling in the fridge (courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] sparktastic who brought it to the housewarming) if you guys want to partake later ;)

Diets permitting, of course.

Woohoo! :-)

Sounds like an exceedingly good plan - and a deserving occasion too :> :> :>

Bloody good thing I didn't randomly drink it in a fit of stress really......

Ha. I started going to Eastercons again in 2000 but am skipping this year. People will start asking "Has anyone ever seen [livejournal.com profile] bluedevi and [livejournal.com profile] the_maenad in the same room at once?"

I'm sure I have. At least, did you make it to that birthday party of mine?

In any case, I don't think that there's much chance of getting the two of you confused ;-)

PS *hugs* :-)

Congrats. The Milky bars are on me. Except not because they are Nestle. I'd ask you to save me a glass but I'll not be in til 11ish.

And it means I can have the house to myself next weekend. Bonus. I can run around naked without anyone disturbing me. Or just get on with revision.

Woot!

Well done!! Yay you!

Can we come along to sit in the audience and heckle? ;)

No dear ;-)

What with wedding plans, my birthday and general skintness....

*grins*
