Live, from Wiscon, it's ... Saturday!

A beautiful morning here at Wiscon, after a bit of a hectic start to the con. Faithful readers of this blog will remember that I had a panicked call from a client, not one hour after I'd arrived at the con, saying that her document needed to be "entirely rewritten! It'll take you all weekend!" Well, luckily it wasn't *quite* that bad. I sat down, reviewed all her comments, and knocked most of them out in the two hours while everyone else was out at dinner. Then I came down here while everyone else is at lunch and finished the rest. I just sent the client her revised draft. Of course, we have to discuss the draft at 5:30 p.m. tonight (right after the Broad Universe reading, when I'm *supposed* to be going to dinner with [info]scusteister.) Hopefully her edits will be short. Somehow, I don't believe they will be. Oh well, wot the hell, toujour gai!

Despite all the work I'm having to do, Wiscon is shaping up to be the hell-of-a-blast everyone has said it is. After staying up way too late at the Ratbastard Karaoke party (and STILL not getting to sing, despite the fact that I'd spent almost $20 bucks on manhattan cocktails to give me courage) I got up early to walk through the Farmer's Market with [info]heidi_lampietti. I got coffee at the Michelangelo coffeeshop and croissants at one of the many purveyors of baked goods, and it was all just lovely. Truly a world-class farmer's market.

Then, coming back to the con proper, I met up with [info]catrambo, [info]velourmane, [info]dotar_sojat (and other lovely people who either don't have LJs, or who have LJs and I don't know their handles) in attendance at the Genre Tokenism panel. Fascinating insights from the panelists.

Next, at 1 p.m., there are about five panels happening simultaneously that I want to attend. I may have to rudely split my time between a couple of them. Later, the Broad Universe reading. I still don't know what I'm going read. I was going to read something from my new purple basil story, but I don't think that's polished enough. Hm.

Now, however, I think I'm going to put my computer away, dash through the dealer's room, and try to find something cold to drink. I have the most unholy craving for a Big Gulp right now.

P.S. I still haven't run into [info]douglain. I would suspect that he wasn't here, except I've seen copies of the Wiscon preview of Diet Soap floating around, so, I just don't know. He is like the wind.
P.P.S. I particularly enjoyed the Long Expected Party reading last night, featuring pals [info]ecmyers and [info]catrambo and Heather Lindsley, who assured me after the reading that she's *got* a blog, she just doesn't have time to actually *write* in it.

Do I misunderstand? She told you it would take all weekend and you got it to her early...from WisCon? You should have got it to her Sunday night and let her think it took you all weekend. :-)

Glad you're having a great time!
