Wiscon?

Yikes! Wiscon is so soon. I'm hitching a ride up this Thursday, and that's so soon! But I still have to start (and finish) all my writer's group crits!* And I need to figure out what's going on with this fancy dress ball! And figure out what panels I'm going to! And pack! And figure out if anyone and if so who on my friendslist is going to be there for the purposes of hanging out!

People who've gone to WisCon previously--any words of wisdom? What should I try to do while I'm there? What should I try not to do?

I'm also miserably failing in finishing the revisions to Vicesteed before convention season started, but...I should still get it done before knee surgery season, I think.

* And I think my work downtime is about to evaporate for several weeks, which will make this all more complicated.

*wave* I will be doing a whirlwind thing, coming in Saturday morningish and leaving Sunday morningish. Which is no kinda way to go to a con, but I can't have so many friends a mere 3 hours from home and not run up to see people.

No idea yet which panels I'm going to, or what activities, etc, but I hope to see you there!

Sorry I missed you! I thought it would be way easier to just naturally see people than it was. When I glimpsed people I knew, it was always just in passing when I was on the way to a panel. Note to self: Next time, make plans because you may never see that person for the rest of the weekend--lunches and dinners should probably always be social.
