You can’t see and do everything in a con (let alone in a festival), and ICon was no exception (actually, like most cons, it had the infuriating tendency to schedule lots of interesting events on top of each other. And then I went and registered to run games over these time-slots). But I love the buzz of being surrounded by geeks enjoying geek things, and I get a kick out of hearing someone raving about a cool game or lecture about Russian self-castrating monks or Trek sexuality or even Tryscer’s jokes.
So I got a bit of a kick to get home after ICon, turn on the Internet, and read that Abigail went to see Serenity and that Aya got to hang and bond with Tim Powers. Well, Aya’s Powers’ story actually verges on a case where a person seems to have so much more fun than you that it makes you (well, me) go green. But damn, happiness.
And for Aya, a link from Abigail that might be interesting: a new Doctor Who spin-off starring Captain Jack Harkness has been announced, called Torchwood.
