Norwescon Saturday Night

[kevin_standlee]

I finally got some photos of things other than Match Game SF on Saturday night as I hung around in the lobby outside the Masquerade. I couldn't get into the photo area proper, and I was late to the photo shoot entirely on account of Lisa and I went and had dinner after my 6 PM panel with twilight2000 on "What Popped Your Fannish Cherry" (stories of people's first experiences with fandom). That panel was surprisingly well attended, with about 16 people (which is about right for the size room we were in).

I am remiss about doing proper convention reportage. Once I had the show behind me, I lost a lot of my drive and sort of went limp today. Now I'm looking forward to getting the Hugo Announcement event working tomorrow. We don't get the room until exactly 2 PM, which is when the event in the UK is supposed to start, so we may not be present exactly when the event starts. I'll try to get online sooner and (I hope) get set up during the last part of the panel prior to our 2 PM start.

Sorry I didn't make it to the Hugo live feed. You told me it would be in the alcove, and I went looking. When I didn't find you, I asked Lisa, and she reiterated an alcove somewhere. Since I knew you couldn't get wireless internet service in the Cascade rooms without paying, I didn't think to look there. Luckily, Amy had her computer at the Foolscap table, and we looked online for the nominees, so it wasn't a total loss.

The announcement was in Saturday and Sunday's issue of the newsletter. The location changed when I learned that Programming had actually sprung for the wired connection. And I also wrote about it here after Programming told me that they'd done the work. Lisa hadn't been paying a lot of attention, because I don't think she was all that interested. Sorry about that!
