bookzombieBack from Eastercon. Had a great time, of which a performance by Mitch Benn was just the icing on the cake.
My '2007 BSFA Awards' panel went pretty well I think, thoughcoalescent later described me as a 'wrong head' (I believe that this is a new-fangled critical term) for being less convinced of the wonderfulness of Black Man than he was. My riposte was, of course, witty and succinct. If only I'd thought of it at the time...
I ended up being stunt Paul Cornell in another panel, 'Sex and the Singularity', this morning which was silly, rather more ribald than was suitable for a family audience...and probably the most fun I have ever had on a panel.
Caught up with lots of people we hadn't seen for ages and got to know better people we'd only met once or twice before.
Some slight disappointments: I didn't get the chance to meet Neil Gaiman and spent most of Saturday with a splitting headache - I'd only had four small glasses of red wine over about six hours the previous evening and, to quote a Bowling for Soup album title, it was a hangover I didn't deserve. I blame it on the rather raw quality of the red wine being served...
There may be more later, but sleepy now...
