WorldCon Prep
Saturday, August 28th, 2004 08:28 pmWe prepare for WorldCon, yes we do.
kinzel has been a one-man ad agency: designing, printing, folding, and now boxing up various Items d'PR to be sent on ahead of us. For the first time since ...BucConeer... we will not have buttons to give out to unsuspecting and sometimes outright startled passers-by.
I've done what prep I can for my panels -- may photocopy a few passages for one of them tomorrow, in case things get chaotic, which they may, as the moderator has alas had to bail out of WorldCon at the last-but-one-moment. The proximate cause for the bail is quite exciting and I wish him well in it, but I was looking forward to seeing him again. Well. Another year.
The new LL Bean tote bag with ten (10!) pockets
kaygo, is starting to fill up nicely and at some point I'm going to have to think about clothes, and the packing thereof.
Made the reservations for Wednesday night at Vinny T's (and the Extra Credit rolls in!), added Everything Now Known to the schedule list; made sure that my cell number is in
kinzel's cell phone and vice versa, since we're going to be going in opposite directions much of the time. Which is perfectly fine and even welcome.
kinzel and I are so used to collaborating, it's really not fair to put us on the same panel.
I've got extra batteries for the new camera. I intend to take lots of pictures, since this will be my last con (saving SheVaCon) for the foreseeable future. Hm. May get an extra, extra set of batteries, Just In Case.
Mozart's sleeping on the file box at the side of my desk and Scrabble's passed out on the catnip pillow behind the rocker. The pizza's in the oven and all's right with the world.
