Unique WisCon report

[giantsloth]

Or not. We're back. Too many great people, not enough time. As usual, I saw old friends and met a couple of really cool new ones. And it didn't help that norovirus, or whatever it was, was selectively felling people I wanted to chat with. I have managed to avoid the plague so far, although I had a brief scare on Monday probably more related to spicy Thai food and to my ability to psych myself out. For the record, dinner each night was: tapas, tapas, Thai, sushi. Also for the record, sarah_prineas has  some really cool shoes of Spanish leather.

In inside-joke news, Niobium is a real element, o ye of little faith.

Instead of talking about any of the bad craziness, I will instead direct your attention to this baby sloth video (via Christopher).

Did I mention that there were too many great people, and not enough time?

Those are precisely the two words I (mis?)heard too! One could almost imagine that Richard started out with myopium, tried again with nairobium, and finally happened to hit on a real word that he stuck with once Ted validated it... but no, it's more likely we're just kind of deaf. I blame my sip of "Uncle Daddy's Happy Juice" homebrew, which probably killed off the relevant segment of brain.

And yes, that was a great evening.

"One could almost imagine...", she says.

Come on, people! Open your eyes!

and here I heard nirobium, which google did ascribe an elemental identity to...

Y'all are as deaf as I am. Next WisCon: ear trumpets for everyone!
