sawylHaving missed the session I was interested in this morning, I played truant and went for a trawl around the west end before going to a random sample of the afternoon panels. I finally bumped into JB in one of them but didn't stop for a chat because we were both on our way to something else.
Shortly after I managed to achieve my principal objective for the con: to get my copy of Steles of Sky autographed by Elizabeth Bear — who was super nice, despite being coldy, and who has very elegant handwriting! I managed to avoid complete meltdown, instead suffering an acute attack of very straight-laced Englishness — which, it turns out, is my standard reaction when attempting to keep myself from over-enthusing.
Once again, I opted not to stay late, leaving in time to make it back to North London in time for an Indian with J. Something tells me I'm not much for the con spirit of late nights spent propping the bar in a convention centre in the middle of nowhere...
