CONvergence

Back from con. Am exhausted. Should have taken tomorrow off from work to recover. Debating calling in if I feel anywhere near this dis-coordinated and out of it in the morning.

Good things:
- Teen room took minimal prompting and, for the most part, everyone was on board with getting things done.

- Teen room got crap tons of comments from EVERYONE (con goers, con committee members, guests, etc) about how awesome it was and what a great idea it was.

- Panels were both interesting and entertaining, at least the ones I went to.

- Lyda Moorehouse is made of awesome and win and is totally a fangirl in real life. I thought this when she crashed the Slash Panel and joined in the squee. Thought it more when she literally jumped back and nearly fell out of her chair when Tamara Pierce hissed at her over the love of a specific character.

- So many fans being kind and supportive of other fans, even if they were not part of that specific fandom.

- Impromptu gender identity and gender queer panel in empty room. Interesting discussion. Also loved that the hotel people saw a large-ish group of people sitting and talking and wordlessly snuck in pitchers of water and cups like they did for the "official" groups and panels.

Less-than-good things:
- Some people had a bit of entitlement issues thinking they were special snowflakes and why weren't you paying attention to them? Oddly enough, this was absolutely none of the guests of honor and, for the most part, not any of the people who have worked their asses off for the past year planning this thing.

- Oh so very tired.

All in all, a rather good time.

Will try to play catch up on my feeds over the next few days. Mistyping and fighting with autocorrect enough right now to know to call it quits for the night.
