I am hooooome. Happily typing away on Kraehe. DFW did the same thing again where I had to take the skyline to another terminal, sat down for food, and then they decided I had to go back where I started.
I keep meaning to write up panels and stuff and then...not? I think it's a mixture of being more tired than usual because of the whole "recovering from laryngitis" bit (my hibernation tendencies were definitely more active this year, even if I valiantly strived to resist them), the fact that I used twitter A LOT over the weekend (and so feel like I've already posted a lot on the con, except for the part where I haven't) and the fact that I felt a bit disconnected from a lot of the panels this year. Not that they were bad (mostly) or anything, but I feel there were only 3 that I was really into, and I was a panelist on of them. (The other was the utterly hilarious Guerilla Twilight Panel). I kind of feel that a lot of panels either had moderators either trying too hard to control the conversation when they needed to let the panelists cut loose a bit, or not keeping the panel on topic and so it just kind of meandered. But I also felt that some panels didn't focus on the aspects I wanted, or were kind of...restrained in how much they wanted to get into things, and largely focusing on the surface and best known aspects of the part of fiction they were tackling. Some of this is definitely my mood/energy level, but I had conversations with some others (both WisCon vets and newbies) about how some panels seemed more surface-focused than we expected. There also seemed to be more Moongate conversations this year than last year, which I find kind of funny in an odd way. It is worth noting that I ended up exclusively going to panels that were specific to a type of fiction or a type of fictional character.
ALL THAT SAID, I go to WisCon because a large chunk of my online friends go there and because I like downtown Madison. Good panels are a bonus. That said (again) next year I intend to be on prestaffed Snow White and Arthuriana panels. Also, last night I learned that the Concourse's rollaway beds are VERY comfortable.
OMG DO I HAVE ANY FOOD IN THIS APARTMENT.
ETA: If you have made/seen any posts or articles you assume I'd normally read/comment on since last Wednesday
