WisCon: Day Zero
I am here! As are many other people! I had to get up stupidly early to catch my 8am flight, but the flight itself was uneventful and even landed a little early. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
justira and renay joined me in Chicago and we picked up our rental car, drove to Madison, and arrived well before the reading at A Room of One's Own. Our friend ![[twitter.com profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
ellenbutnotdegeneres joined us there. The guests of honor this year are Saladin Ahmed and Tananarive Due; Due won't be here until tomorrow, so Ahmed read an excellent story and then took a bunch of questions. He is a great reader and an excellent speaker, and I look forward to hearing more from him.
We had gone straight to the reading from the airport, so after it was done we went to the hotel to check in and drop off our stuff.forestofglory joined us there and then we grabbed some dinner at a local brunch place. Breakfast for dinner is always where it's at. Now we are back in the room and I'm trying to decide if I have any energy left to go out and find people, or if I just want to call it a night early, maybe see about watching at least some of Critical Role. Whatever I decide to do, I'm happy to be here and looking forward to things getting started tomorrow.
