I won’t say I slept in Saturday morning at Readercon, but I didn’t stir myself from the room until 10am when the panels started.
Before that I enjoyed some quiet writing time working on a review of 7th Sigma by Steven Gould, which is really good sf without being tech heavy at all. Stay tuned for more on that soon.
The panels I’m keenest on are often the year in review ones, What novels and short stories people though were worth reading. I’m always amazed that despite the fairly high volume of books I read, there’s often little overlap between what other reviewers read and what I read. In the year in novels panel, which was entirely manned by Locus contribs, I accused them of only reading books that weren’t fun, which isn’t quite true…but it’s not all that far off either.

Getting here wasn’t hard at all for once. Instead of driving up from DC I hopped on the metro to the airport, took the US Airways shuttle to Logan, and got a ride from the airport by Daniel Dern. Very civilized.

They just don’t last long enough for me. But i have always wanted to find out what the Girl Genius storyline was.
