aberrantangelsOh, and just to let people know: my next entry will be posted from Boston, home of Noreascon Four, the 62nd World Science Fiction Convention. And don't worry, 
sweet bird: this time, I'm bringing earplugs, so I should get enough sleep to be able to appreciate it properly. At the very least, if I'm not getting enough sleep, I'll try to report just the con-specific news (who wins the Hugos and Retro Hugos and the 2007 site selection), not my own reactions. (I'll be reporting those vote results at a minimum anyway.) Hopefully, I'll be awake enough to remember how lucky I am to be there, and how lucky I'll be to be heading to Glasgow next year. At the very least, if I'm not that awake, I'll try to refrain from pissing and moaning about how tired&hungry I am, because it gives the impression that that's all I'm thinking about, and I don't want to do that again.

If they're not too large files
Date: 2004-09-01 06:55 pm (UTC)Another place, if you have time to walk around and it's nice weather, which is fun and not exactly tourist country, is Rowes Wharf, the newish mercantile development that has a neo-Georgian look to it, across from what used to be the Atlantic Ave exit pre-big dig. The architecture is really cool, there are several antique stores that focus on maritime - yes, you could come home with a figurehead, or an anchor, if you had the money - and some beautiful model ships, plus you can walk out to the water and admire the boats in the marina there, if that's your cup of Earl Grey...
Boston really is a very nice city, with or without the excuse of a Worldcon. (Are either of you going to be in the Masquerade? *g* Those sound like fun.)
