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.

How profoundly disappointing.

Great to meet you, BTW!

Likewise.

I'm sure when I get the video of the attack online, there will be no disappointment. Sadly, I didn't catch the one girl attacking Niall over and over with a foam lightsabre. I might have been too busy laughing my arse off.

That was so ace I nearly cried. Especially the way he kept trying to back further into the corner.

Unlike you I didn't have the presence of mind to switch from camera to video, so I only got still pictures of the invasion, of which only one wasn't just a blur. Verily I am a fool.
