It's like there is some concerted conspiracy to make this WisCon awesome for me.
I was able to say some useful things in the "SF/F in Higher Education" panel.
It's fancy-dress night and I'm wearing the black dress I got for free during the Gathering's clothing swap.
At the award ceremony and Guest of Honor speeches just now, Ellen Klages gave a lovely talk about her history with WisCon, science fiction, and writing, and K. Tempest Bradford's shaking voice spoke more than her words about the joy of reading Nisi Shawl's stories, about the joy of coming home.
And then Mary Anne Mohanraj, author of "Jump Space" in Thoughtcrime Experiments, was named one of the two Guests of Honor for next year's WisCon 34.
