con_txt!

So, back from [livejournal.com profile] con_txt this weekend, and it was so much fun! Though [livejournal.com profile] moonblade85 and I weren't actually staying at the hotel, because we are poor and live less than 30 minutes from Silver Spring. ;)

This meant that I was kind of in and out of the con, and didn't get to do as much hanging out and meeting people as I would have liked (sorry, [livejournal.com profile] raveninthewind, I suck!). But, the panels were all very interesting, and I did get to meet some lovely people, including [livejournal.com profile] annavtree, who was so nice and interesting, and also possibly more in denial about Serenity than I am.

We also met [livejournal.com profile] amandajane5, who was very adorable and SV garbed, and also one of the only other people at the con who actually liked "The Tower" (yep, nothing but glee for that ep, even now). [livejournal.com profile] amandajane5 also raised the possiblity of karaoke at a gay tiki bar with the TWoP people. If you know me at all, you know that the words karaoke, gay, and tiki bar all fall under the heading of BEST THINGS EVER.

All in all, it was fun (including a non-smoking smoke break with [livejournal.com profile] amandajane5, [livejournal.com profile] norabombay, [livejournal.com profile] aneli8 and [livejournal.com profile] mayatawi), and it was so interesting to see internet fandom come to weird and wonderful life. I have some theories brewing about episodic television and old school fandoms vs. modern ones, but maybe later.

ETA: HAPPY B-DAY [livejournal.com profile] duckfish! 21! See you later!
