WisCon 43: Day Four

[owlmoose]

Well, it had to happen someday: the con crud has found me. (I don't count two years ago, because that time I already knew I was sick when I arrived.) I had felt it maybe coming on later in the day yesterday, but today the cold is well and truly here. I suppose it could be worse timing, but I was sad to essentially miss the last day of the con -- I went to no programming, just quickly dropped by the signout, and spent a good chunk of the morning just lounging in the area underneath the stairs up to the second floor. I will say, that might be my favorite spot to lounge at WisCon. It's a little out of the way, much quieter than the main lobby when things are going on, and you're out of the flow of traffic, but a lot of traffic still comes by you, so you can still say hi to people and feel like a part of things if you like. Now I am in the airport, sitting with another WisCon attendee who I've never met before but we realized while waiting for the hotel shuttle that we were on the same flight. It's nice to have company since the flight is delayed by two or three hours (depending on whether I believe what the United notification says, or what the gate agent told us). At least I'm not going through Chicago this year, because there is Weather in the Midwest, and something like three flights in a row have been cancelled. (The line to rebook is pretty epic. In their shoes, I might consider renting a car.)

So I don't have much to say about today, specifically, but I am pleased to report that I enjoyed my time at the con very much. Especially since I missed FogCon this year, it was excellent to reconnect with the community and the people, and of course to spend time with my group of friends who come. I hope to see you all again, next year if not before!

Chicago had some very aggressive weather this weekend; it's good you dodged us!
