Wiscon 33 - Sunday

Sunday *was* better. Sunday was so much better. I was feeling fine, so immediately headed for the convention in a morning that could have popped right out of one of my stories. It felt too perfect to exist in real life, cool, sunny, with a little breeze that didn't even ruffle the very green grass.

I found redcrowkater and julieandrews and planned what to attend.

I was planning to go back and change for the parties later on; people were already wandering around in beautiful clothes and looking terrific. But there just wasn't time. First there was dinner with the three Clarion 08ers; then there was the dessert salon and the award speeches; and then I dropped by another panel (it was past 10 p.m. by then) and then I found a whole bunch of cool people to hang out with. We started in the bar. When it closed, we went up to another floor, and were entertained with funny stories from Karen Joy Fowler and Geoff Ryman and later Ellen Klages. At about 1.30, I did drop in on the parties, but they were winding down. I had a snack at the Con suite, and then walked back with Mary Robinette Kowal, who had some fascinating stories about her experience in India - not just the cities, but rural areas of Bihar.

Tomorrow's the end.  :-(
