Feb. 14th, 2009 08:11 amCons are so weird. There is always, in my heart at these things, this terrible lurking version of myself petty high school self that wants to come out as we work so fucking hard to be in the right place at the right time for the coolest shit and try to socialize with total strangers about something utterly nerdy.
It's always easy, if you're not careful -- if I'm not careful -- to be cruel and awkward at these things.
It's silly to learn a lot about myself just by putting the kibosh on my own crazy at these things, but I do.
Anyway, Gally is pretty spectacular. Everyone talks about it as the most intimate con, but it's really not that. It's that it's so strange and has so much serendipity. So many funny odd things happened yesterday I don't even know where to start, but at the end of it all, I had a good time, with good people, teared up a little when I first saw the TARDIS they set up and wound up in many hilarious photos. There are stories for LJ and stories for email and I'll be trying to get those missives out soon.
And today is day two.
I almost feel better, but still a bit sick and clogged, and certainly hung over. I have three panels today and I am actually nervous because I haven't done panels here yet and I have found reasons to feel internally awkward about each of the panels I'm on. But I have to remember I'm super funny and really smart and it should be a good show.
While you have to be in it to win it, the only way to win is not to play. Yes yes yes.
Ah, there was something else funny and wise, but I've forgotten now. Off to talk to Patty as it's vday, and my baby is far away.
