Home from Arisia
Jan. 14th, 2007 06:14 pmSo Tom and I just got home from Arisia. It was the first Science Fiction Convention either of us had ever been to, and it was a lot of fun.
The panels were very interesting, and most of them managed to stay more or less on topic. The dealers had some very fun stuff, most of which was out of our price range at the moment, but it was still cool to look.
I made it to a few meet and greets, one for LJ and the other for BPAL (a very interesting line of perfume oils), and a bunch of panels. My panels were mostly on building plausible worlds to set a science fiction or fantasy story in. Tom went to several on different aspects of science fiction as a subculture and we both went to some on the science behind the fiction.
The Rocky Horror screening Friday night was a bit disappointing (too much pre-show and so much floor show that it drowned out the movie), but the club dance on Saturday night was a blast. I actually danced!
Cons are absolutely something Tom & I will be doing more of.
Off to read the flist.
