Madness brings me nearer to your love
The short version: despite a horrifying shortage of sleep, Arisia turned out to be delightful, especially the programming on Sunday. I left with new songs, a variety of contact information, and a modest but satisfying book haul, including Elizabeth Hand's Illyria (2007), John Monahan's They Called Me Mad: Genius, Madness, and the Scientists Who Pushed the Outer Limits of Knowledge (2010), and Glenn Grant's Burning Days (2011).
cucumberseed gave me the original watercolor of the Shokkal haruspex I use as a livejournal icon. I owe him serious poems.
The longer version: will have to wait. But it was worth getting up before seven o'clock for, and so few things are.

Thank you!
It was lovely to be on the Metropolis panel with you.
