alexandraerin | 10 awesome moments from WisCon.

These are in no particular order, and they're all personal to me... I'm not representing these as the most awesome things about WisCon as a con.

Fancy date night with moofable! The first night in Madison, we got dressed up and went to Samba Brazilian Steakhouse and had an excellent time.
Every panel with tanyad, and I mean every panel because she was on three of them and I went to all of them. Any gaming panel with her is automatically awesome, and the Tumblr panel she was on with cabell should be the stuff of legends.
tithenai got me to snort hot cocoa up my nose during her recitation of her piece from Queers Dig Time Lords. The comedic timing is very strong with this one.
karnythia's Steampunk Speakeasy party, for which I coined the term difference 'n' gin. It's not currently attached to an actual drink, though, but it's such a good pun that the first time I said it out loud a random person on the other end of a hallway said I needed to go sit in the corner and think about what I did. The party was awesome, though. Karnythia pulled so many people to one end of the hotel that I'm surprised it didn't capsize. This was the first year that I really did the party scene at all, and having one room where I knew there would be so many people that I knew and was comfortable with made a big difference there.
When I made sure to get the name of someone whose comments during a panel had interested me and it turned out she was one of my readers.
Lunch with ktempest and about a dozen other people. That was a wild good time. There were so many people in the procession leaving the restaurant that when I sat down across from angelsscream and Leah, I'd had no idea they were with us. It was awesome.
Everything angelsscream wore. Everything. She fashions well.
Having an actual conversation with deducecanoe. We were both drunk and sitting side by side instead of across from each other. I don't remember much of the actual conversation but I remember that it happened. I would love to spend more time with her in the future.
Lunch with shadesong and company! In terms of having met and shared experiences offline, she's one of my oldest friends at WisCon but one that I have very limited ongoing contact with, something I'd like to rectify because she is awesome. I especially wanted to sit down and talk with her because I felt she'd be able to appreciate the groovy developments in my personal life with moving and such, and I was right.
So many compliments about my hair. This is not a thing I'm used to.
This one makes eleven but it didn't technically happen during or at the con, but rather at the airport as we were checking in one of the counter personnel recognized me. I think that's the first time that happened outside of specifically fannish circles.

I loved seeing every single person I mentioned above and many others. And there are so many I missed and hope to see again in future years. Most of them in both categories are people who are on LJ/DW... I haven't paid much attention to these spaces lately, so this is my reminder to myself to do so.
