luckykaaSo - parties!
Let's talk about Hugo awards first;
WOW! Some people are so wonderfully dressed. Was glad I'd chosen the shiny waistcoat and goggles! And the room was packed! Just about managed to find a pair of seats thrugh the simple expedient of asking someone to move. Scalzi was a wonderful toastmaster.
And after that was the London success party, which was a lot of fun, the Convergence party, and I didn't manage any of the others.
But some of the other parties on other days were better. North America Discword had a bar tender who knew her cocktails. I had a black russian. The Commonwealth party (New Zealand and Canada joint effort) had a bartender serving Hot buttered Rum and some other interesting drinks. One was maple-ish.
Did have one of those converstions with a guy who seemed to have no general knowledge at all. That was awkward.
Met an intriguing person who I really wasn't sure what to make of.
And I met a lovely couple who were dressed as Firefly characters one day and Blade Runner characters the next. They seemed to take a shine to us as well.
Dead Dog party next. Possibly. Closing ceremony first.
