Monday

Monday was pretty relaxed. People were leaving, the con was winding down. I had two more panels: new sf tv, on which I argued with Paul Cornell about Doctor Who, and The Future of Fandom, in which the future of fandom arrived and beat the panel with sticks.

Time for a last pass around the dealer's room (didn't buy anything, but picked up some review copies for Strange Horizons, plus was given a rather fab Magic For Beginners tshirt by Kelly and Gavin), then I helped pack up the Foundation stall. Went out for dinner with Andrew, Liz, Mattia, Rachel, Zoe ... and Nat, yay! We phoned Dan and made him sing down the phone at us because the music in the restaurant was so bad.

Stopped in at the dead dog party, but was too dog-tired to stay for long. Today we've mooched around Glasgow a bit, and now there's just the long train ride home. I can't believe I'll be back at work tomorrow.

It makes me happy that Wonka Whipple Scrumptious Fudgemallow delights now exist. They are so very tasty.

The Panels Mods Don't See

Home again, home again, and confronted by god only knows how much lj, a couple of hundred emails, and a dozen or so new names on my 'friend of' list (hi!). It may be a while before I catch up.

There will be a proper con report at some point, I hope, but it might not be for a week or so. In the meantime, there are a couple of things I missed at the con that I'm hoping people can point me to coverage of:

- Mining other cultures (2pm Friday)
- How do we reinvent time travel? (noon Saturday)
- Feminism as setting (noon Saturday)
- Science denial (noon Saturday; there was a lot on on that slot, it seems)
- John Clute and Gary K. Wolfe in conversation (2pm Saturday)
- AI: The aliens we make (10am Sunday)
