Escapade Con Report

[amalthia]

I said during one of the panels that I'd try to make a con report only I'm not sure what to say except that I had a great time and I hope next year more people on my flist are able to come. The panels I attended were interesting and fun. :) There was a good mix of specific/general fandom panels as well as the tech panels.

I had a blast at the Marvel panel on Saturday. It was fun meeting other fans of the comics/movies, in hindsight I should have asked them for fic recs as well as comic recs.

I spent more time this year in the con suite than I have in previous years and I had a blast! I can't recall everyone's names but I do know by the end of the convention my voice was almost gone. I don't normally have the opportunity to talk about fandom stuff to this extent, I may have gone a bit overboard.

I think some of what I like about going to the conventions is the social aspect. I like telling people in person, how much I loved their story, vid, or artwork. It's also much easier to squee when you don't have to type everything out.

I usually spent hours in the consuite. Most people go through there, so it's a great way to meet people and talk to everyone. I get in my volunteer hours, and have slashy chats with people. What could be better?

I've met some very nice people hanging out in there, that i would never have normally met because we don't share fandoms. The consuite is underated.

I completely agree with you. :)
