davetrow and I betook ourselves off to Westercon. It's "over the hill," and downtown San Jose, which means in the vicinity of $20 every day for parking. (The hotel's $26/day). The only thing I can say is it's still cheaper to commute than to stay in the hotel.
I truly meant to leave little reports, but both last night and this I am way too frazzled; hence, the crankiness about the cost of parking. I have taken a few notes here and there, most on panels I was not on -- this is one of those cons that are mostly panels I am on, so those may be a bit scarce. The programming is by and large quite good, although Dave may insist that his last panel today ought to have been bundled into the 2 others of similar theme. It does feel very spread out, especially in comparison to World Fantasy in the same hotel. Someone said registration was around 600, so we're all rattling around in too much space.
However, there are many perfectly lovely people there,desperance andklwilliams among them. So it is impossible not to have a wonderful time.
(I read my story from Star Wars: Tales From Jabba's Palace and everyone loved it.)
