It's a WorldCon, and I helped

I am safely returned to Connecticut, after suffering the iniquities of New England road work at 11 at night.

The con was not without nuisances--namely the inability to get a glass of water in the convention center or the related bars--but overall it was awesome. I got to hang out with lots of friends, and meet lots of new people. Highlights include meeting the lovely and charming la_marquise_de_ (and marquis) in person, gothing with curgoth & co., seeing David Anthony Durham in the Campbell tiara (really a diadem), and watching my bracelet matociquala win a Hugo. Also, my dishy new Fluevog heels lasted through dinner, the Hugo reception, ceremony, and a chunk of the losers' party before they started to kill my feet, which makes them well worth the price of Fluevogs.

AND, I'm told that I have a box of copies of TDC waiting for me at home. IT LIVES!

Now I just have to survive the trip home, and the three hour layover in Nashville.
