Our ship is at the shore

Readercon. Was wonderful. I did not get any more sleep at the convention than I went into it with—if anything, less—but my voice held and everything I was on went well and derspatchel came out on Friday night for my reading and I would love to see the Readercon Miscellany become an annual tradition, although I admit that as a performer I'm biased; it was just that much fun. I have books. I saw people. I have writing-related things to do! The usual update forthcoming when the brain has gotten a chance to recover. At the moment, I am eating some goat's milk ice cream and I kind of just want to stare at things for a while.

I would also like to see Readercon Miscellany become annual.

Tell Programming! Feedback is good.

You were marvelous.

You were marvelous.

Thank you.

(I love that icon.)

Even in passing flashes, it was very good to see you. And to hear you speak your poem.

**You** were awesome!

Your reading and singing and self were magnificent.

Around nine in the morning on Saturday, when I had not slept all night, I was not sure. But it was great!

I'm sorry I didn't get to hear you sing (apart from the little bit at the reading -- which, WHOA), but another time.

If there's video from the Miscellany and I can bear to think of other people watching it, I'll post the link!

(Did you introduce yourself by LJ-handle? Did I just miss you in the exhaustion and the chaos?)

[ethelmay.livejournal.com]

I didn't get a chance to introduce myself to you, though I did briefly to rushthatspeaks.

I was so, so sad to miss the Miscellany. I seem doomed never to see you perform. Maybe you do it in the thinnest shading-over of a different universe, one that I'm just not able to be in, or something. And I wanted to see Sassafras! I met Tilly, I think her name is? What a pleasant person! She made me double-extra want to see Sassafras. Not to mention all the other cool performances. Well, but it's good to spend time with my dad, which is always why it is that I miss these cool evening events.

It was, in any case, good to catch a glimpse of you, even if it was only just that, and to know that you (still) exist in the flesh as well as in pixel.

Tili is totally my name! I'm glad to hear meeting me made you want to see me perform, though sad that it sharpened the frustration in not seeing the Miscellany. But I feel certain there will be another chance.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I feel certain too. I will be on the lookout for it!

I exist, and I am still here, and I should love for you to hear me perform sometime. Remind me to sing the next time we're in the same space for more than five minutes. I want to bring derspatchel out to meet you anyway.

I'd love that. Bubble tea at LimeRed! I'm just saying. We could write things on the sticky notes they leave out for people to write things on. Such things as have never been written in LimeRed before.

It was great to see you. Your singing was amazing!

Thank you! I was glad to hear the poem for your father.

I'm delighted it was wonderful and your voice held out and all the rest. I do hope that someday I'll manage to make Readercon. In any case, it's too long since I've heard you read or sing.

I hope you're feeling at least a bit recovered, and that the ice cream has been helpful.

I'm in the Catskills. All the tunes going on an hour ago were a beginner-level session with nobody I knew in it, but I'll be sallying forth again shortly.

The ice cream was great. The rest of this week has been chaos.

Happy staring. I had a great time too, even when my body was trying to kill me.

Good! I always like hanging out with you. Also, we should do more panels.

[handful-ofdust.livejournal.com]

I agree. Plus, I wouldn't mind trying to sing, if the Miscellany is back on the table.

Most of what I heard about Readercon and the Miscellany in specific sounded excellent. Perhaps one of these years I'll make it back.

I was sorry that, between your super-busy schedule and my feeling feverish and having to go and sleep quite a lot of the time, we never got to talk properly. I enjoyed your reading, though!

Thank you! I was very, very happy to meet you finally in person; I wish we'd had more time. I noticed you sort of disappeared toward the end of the convention—I didn't realize you'd gotten sick! Are you recovered now?

[steepholm.livejournal.com]

Apart from the jet lag of the returning flight, I appear to be hale once more. Anyway, as you say, it was good to meet in the flesh - and I'm sure there'll be other times for catching up properly.
