seraiI'll be heading back out to ORC soon. Boy day today!
Jeez, I hope today will be better, because yesterday was booooring. The con is much smaller this year, fewer attendees too. Some are saying that's great, but I disagree. It wasn't a bad crowd size last year; in fact, for me it was just right. Enough people and stuff going on to make it full and exciting, but not so much that it felt stuffed or uncomfortable. This year feels thin, and there have been several disappointments all around, not the least of which was a "panel discussion" (how do you have a "panel" with only one member??) about Denethor and Eowyn, given by a woman who read her presentation off a piece of paper! ARGH. And her opinions were so off-the-map that I left 20 minutes into what was supposed to be a 90-minute presentation. Definitely one of those "what book were YOU reading?" moments.
So few LJ people! *sniff* Oh well.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blackbird_song and I had a wonderful late lunch / scholarly discussion on Thursday, which went on for quite some time. It's so great to sit down and have a talk with someone intelligent about intelligent issues, you know? Very cool.
And getting hugs frombeizy is always a pleasure. *purr*
Will post more later, if I've got more to say. :)
