VVC: overall reactions and Thursday

[permetaform]

so I'm back home and with the VividCon-Has-Exploded-My-Brains reactions, not that I could be coherent anyways, and floating on a bubbly high and.

Wow.

I AM SO GLAD I WENT. And yet there were so little time, and me running around to try to perhaps meet people and just. Wow. Premiere's this year was FANTASTIC, with awesome range and stylistic complexity and they make me want to babble at length about narrative compositions and mood-driven versus event-driven organizations and draw up charts and just wiggle in delight.

AND I MET sisabet and sockkpuppett! My vidding mommies! And I thought I had more time with them, but turn around and the weekend was over and good goddamn I'm figuring out next year better. or something. or at least working out how to be less tongue-tied around them.

Also! Also! I met silviakundera! Who's work made me start writing again and whose Butter And Pigtails and Legends has forever imprinted themselves on my brain.

And just the whole entire con I swear I was spazzing at people and being all amazed and in hindsight I'd probably fangirled too much, but, dude seriously?, if you want to meet cool people every single one of the people at vividcon are just awesome and intelligent and interesting.

::blinks:: I should probably work through this in a more logical way, eh?


Thursday

So what with the lightning storms and the weekend and the full moon, transportation of all sorts was insane; not only were planes delayed by godawful amounts, but there was apparently a traffic accident or construction or something that tied up basically the entire Chicago freeway (tollway?) system around O'Hare. Not that my flight was delayed, but rather that entire airports of people were cranky and/or freaking out; this I can actually attest to 'cause my flight actually came in Midway and I had to shuttle to O'Hare to catch the hotel shuttle to the con. (however the shuttle guy was nice and gave me his fries, w00t!)

Arrived at the hotel and vaguely recognized cofax7 (who is cool, bubbly, and talkative) from a vidparty earlier that summer. Eventually worked out rooming situation which would be cheaper with her with planning to talk it over with loligo (fellow BPAL fiend!) and lierdumoa the next day. Am very sad I was not able to room with boniblithe this year (::HUGS::), but maybe next year? =)

After that there was a vid-watching with...argh, damn my memory, but I'm fairly sure there was cofax7, shrift, and destina (who are both just as intelligent in person as they are online), and vonnielake (who is just so chipper and just brings energy) and I'm kicking myself for blanking out on other people. ::grovels:: But we watching several vids from Escapade dvds and vonnielake's collection before we dispersed to nap for tomorrow's festivities.

[Friday: in which there is squee and vids and dancing in the night!]
