Mostly Broken

Slinked off to bed at a fairly "conventional" 1am ish and woke feeling as bad as I have on the 2 previous mornings with the post-dawn stops.  

Anyway, wrote the Space Camp Talk (12.30 - somebody PLEASE turn up)...

Had a fairly soft day yesterday.  Dragged myself out of bed for a debrief following the Friday night party, then, quite unexpectedly ended up in the bar at the Delta with Gaspode and Gaspoida for several hours telling each other tall stories about conventions and comparing notes on Fandom.  We also gave the occasional nod to @scalzi and @neilhimself who wandered past.

Had a chat to @neil... in the hotel elevator on Thursday if memory serves.

Anyway, spent the later part of the evening being the news reader in the Fanzine Lounge for the Hugo's.  Gosh.  Cheryl Morgan is unpopular in some circles, and best not to mention @scalzi either...

Still, venom prize was voted for Nial Harrisson's Twitter feed which made us all chuckle.

Tobessv has decided that he's obviously the new Young Gregg Pickersgill...

What would fandom be without a fight eh?

Are people still having the "It's not REAL fan writing if it's only on the Internet" mass debate?

In a word. Yes.

And if the lists I'm on are any judge, the fuss over the fanzine Hugo makes the Scalzi fuss look lightweight.
