So much Worldcon....

...so little time.

I missed typing on stencil and watching fan artists draw on stencil in the nighttime fan lounge Saturday night. Nonetheless, I had the joy of hearing about it over a bottle of cider with Sharee, Tobes, and Joel in the consuite prep room long after the sun was up. Other friends covered the working part of the job, and we did our best to get out of the way or help as needed.

'Twas an excellent time, indeed. There's joy in sharing laughter and certain tastes with...oh, I can't explain it beyond saying it's complicated. I like being close to the important people in my friends' lives. And seeing Sharee demonstrate just one of the things that makes a man at the crank of a Gestetner darned hot was worth the extra hours of wakefulness alone.

I am thoroughly enjoying Anticipation and am well beyond glad that I'm here.

There's something just so tactile about working directly on stencil, isn't there? Even in my latter mimeo days, when I would put the stencil through the dot matrix printer, there was still that sense of disconnect from the final product.

Glad that Anticipation is treating you well. And just a few hours to go now to the announcement of that site selection ballot...

Geri, I am glad you're having a rousing good time. Keep us posted here on the goings-on when you can. I, for one, truly appreciate the reportage.

Yes, I'm having a wonderful con as well. Seeing you was, of course, one of the highlights.
