and thus...

lagilmanAnd that was a WorldCon. I have no photos, because I was far too busy meeting and greeting and talking and gesturing and drinking (and not so much with the eating, interestingly, although there were some excellent meals).
It's been the usual mix of business and pleasure - People came to my signing(s), my panels went quite well, with many compliments afterward, and the various meals and hanging-out-in-bars were enjoyable blends of networking and socializing. I met new people, got to make (I hope) interesting and amusing comments into a mic, cheered friends winning Hugos and consoled those who didn't, and managed to avoid any alcohol-related hangovers.
I was surprised and gratified by how many people have come up to me this weekend, looked me up and down, and said "you're working out, aren't you? Looks good!" I'd noticed an improvement in my cardio and muscle tone, of course, but I hadn't realized it was obvious at a glance. Quite pleased.
Anyway. The sole plan for today is "go home." While I will miss all the friends I saw this weekend, this is a very good plan, as after four days of intense hob-nobbing coupled with not enough sleep (even by my standards), I've got a case of People Burnout.
But I also got some excellent news this weekend, more on another rock...
