Madness brings me nearer to your love

[sovay]

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.

When, one day, I see you at a non-busy time, I'd love to hear some of those songs. (Which reminds me: I am careless and foolish, and it didn't occur to me--don't ask me why not--that wakanomori would like to see the Jezabels, but he would, so it'll be two of us that meet you and Eric V. for that show. Inshallah.)

It is great to be the owner of cucumberseed's Autumn Wars art. I have this Kacia :-)

The full page is the haruspex and a Walnut family. I need to get them a good frame.

Glad you had a delightful time and have come away with good things. Which new songs? I'd love to hear more about them.

I had a blast at Arisia too, and am working on my write-up as well. It was a pleasure meeting you on the selkie panel.
