rivkaSo, who all is going to Worldcon?
I'd like to set up some of my social schedule in advance, so that (a) I don't wind up missing out on people I want to see, and (b) my social anxiety is calmed by knowing there are people who want to hang out with me.

Date: 2004-08-06 10:22 am (UTC)This does mean, btw, that if you feel the need to get away from the con for a little bit and want suggestions and/or a local guide, that I'd be happy to help in either way.

Date: 2004-08-09 08:37 am (UTC)I'm trying to decide if I should drag my eighteenth century ballgown along for the Regency dance. It's out of period, but it goes with the Playford-style dancing. And it's lovely. On the other hand, it would be a bitch to pack and care for. On the third hand, how many places do I get to wear it? Hmmm.

Let's definitely have dinner on the Thursday evening before the LJ party, and we can talk about strategies for survival.
Incidentally, I was just telling my aunt about you yesterday, in the context of sharing a room at N4, and when I'd finished describing you she said: "How is it you know so many wonderfully interesting people?"

Maybe it's just that you make ordinary people sound wonderfully interesting, in the way that you describe them. But, um, goodness. Thanks.
I myself am enjoying telling people that my Worldcon roommate is a World Fantasy Award nominee. *grin*
