mijanYou know, I think I completely failed to mention on my LJ (or anywhere else) that I was planning to attend Arisia in Boston this year. So... HI FROM ARISIA IN BOSTON! Yeah, to put it simply, unless I'm on my death bed, I'll be at Arisia every year. I fucking love this convention. I love the awesome people I meet, the incredible thoughts and ideas that are shared, and the epic levels of WIN I experience here from so many sources.
Too many positive things to list them all, and the convention isn't over yet, but to summarize:
1. Panels I've attended have been fantastic. I've learned a lot. And damn, I need to add to my reading list.
2. Panels I've been on so far have been mostly quite good, and I was very privileged to have the chance to contribute to the Gender panel.
3. As always, it's wonderful to see old friends. Just as wonderful to meet new friends.
4. My own challenges with my health have continued to be lessons in humility - eye opening, sobering, but also reminders that I'm not alone here. Two weeks ago, other than my migraines, I felt pretty damned good. On Monday last week, I started a flare-up. It's been rough here at the con, but I'm having fun. Just learning to balance things.
Anyway, it's late, but I wanted to chime in. More con details later. :)
