Just a short note to say that George Flynn has died.
He will be missed.
I just need to gripe right now: it is impossible to even attempt to read "Sethra Lavode" while de-bugging a Worldon Program......
(Back to work. Feh.)
To answer Abigail - yes.
(A break from another day of burnishing.....)
I particularly detest the program items that some people want to do: "How to Flirt", "The Art of Giving a Back Rub", "Seduction 101" - there are always bunches of offers all the time, from the most unlikely people....
Feh.
5{d. I too must spend time away from the con, and it gets far worse at Worldcon. These last few years, I get panic/anxiety attacks surrounded by people at parties, and need to skulk off to my room sometime around midnight - not so much because I'm exhausted, but more because I just can't deal anymore...
And while I love putting *together* the (Worldcon) program, I can't stand dealing with it (or program participants) at-con. Even if they're wonderful (as many are), the fact they're going to (probably) muck up the gorgeously symmetrical, perfectly-balanced, burnished (and theoretical!) program I've just spent the whole summer creating is too hard to deal with.
So, I get a terrific at-con staff, eat too much chocolate, and put myself on fun programs where I can be distracted by "performing" - but when I'm set loose to party at night, there's nothing left.....
(Alas.)
Thanks for the kind words, Tom.
Teresa, from where I'm sitting (unscrambling program), the Worldcon train has pretty much run over me....

It's still too complicated for me, I think.....
