Home from Terminus

[machshefa]

In fact, I got home at about 1am Monday morning (being local, that wasn't all that hard to do), but have been fuzzy-headed and grouchy all day and so haven't wanted to post.

How is it that it never occurred to me that there would be such tremendous post-conference crashing? 

I will post a thorough accounting of the con when I'm less tired (which gives us a slightly lower chance of stupidity creeping in, like forgetting important stuff). 

But I just want to say that I met the most awesome people at Terminus.  Some of you I knew on LJ, a few of you I didn't (or only did through others' journals, or connected with very recently).   But can I just say?  Wow.   A more gracious, generous, warm, funny, wickedly smart, energetic and engaging group of women (and one guy... ) I couldn't have invented in my wildest imagination.  *thinks... Yeah.  My wildest imagination couldn't have made up some of the creative and intellectual stuff going on over there! *grins

And the programming was really good -- but the conversation and the playing (cosplay most definitely included), spectacular!

I think I started missing people as soon as I got in the car to go home :(

I think that the above qualifies as a really wordy squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Also, thanks in advance to all you guys who actually used  your cameras, for the sharing of the pictures. I greatly appreciate it...  :D

Trip was very smooth, even my few hours waiting in the Midway airport between catching a cab with Michelle and Amy to see them off and waiting for my evening flight. Strangely enough, Midway has old-fashioned rocking chairs in the concourse at random intervals -- out sitting away from the usual seats (but near the electrical outlets). So I rocked, charged my mobile phone for a few hours, and people-watched. I got back to NC just after midnight and was home by 1am.

*laughs* But your dance was the most eye-catching, dramatic, and fun. Post-War Severus needs some fun. ;-)

I'm thinking Azkatraz next year, since folks kept saying that Leaky was going to be light on the intellectual programming. Dunno if that's true or not. Shame that Narrate isn't doing another one; they really got the mix right this year.
