This is the first time I’ve been able to get through with wireless for a while, and it wasn’t easy.
Spent Thursday at the Botanical Gardens, five and half hours worth of walking–the picture above is from the Chinese Garden. Friday I did three panels and a reading. Saturday was hanging out and talking to people, including catching up with Wen Spencer about her time in Japan; C. and I also went out to dinner with Jessica Freeley and Nica Berry before the Masquerade. My favorite costume in the Masquerade was a recreation of the Elseworlds Amazonian Princess, which had a definite steampunk flavor to it.
