*flop* I definitely ran out of spoons for socializing. I'm still suffering those effects.

Stuff that happened: I met a bunch of people! Including zeenell in meatspace for the first time, viklikesfic, cesy, cinco, eleanor_lavish, schuyler, melannen, libitina, merisunshine36, and lots of other people.

A+++ con, would attend again. (Already preregistered for 2012!)

Panels etc: Friday
11AM: Gay & Lesbian Movies That Don't Suck (in which we compiled a very long list of movies that are not tragic and miserable and filled with Dead Queers)
1PM: What We Talk About When We Talk About Slash Fandom (I came in late and only caught about half of this one)
2PM: Taking Over the Asylum (in which we talked about showrunners Doin It Rite and Doin It Rong when it comes to fandom and their own fannish sensibilities)
3PM: Crackfic (debate over the definition of AU, as well as various people's thoughts on why some fandoms are full of crack and others are not)
4PM: Kinked for Kink Memes (list of kink memes compiled, discussion of the increasing kink-friendliness of fandom)
5PM: Free Culture & Open Source Software (Dreamwidth and AO3, represented by synecdochic and cesy)
8PM: Disco Duck

Panels etc: Saturday
12PM: RPF DIY Panel (in which we made a nice long list of more obscure RPF characters and pairings we want someone to write about)
1PM: Bandom Panel (schuyler and eleanor_lavish brought booze so we could drown our sorrows)
2PM: AUs (in many ways, a continuation of the crackfic panel which had been dominated by the discussion of AUs)
3PM: Leverage OT3 (because I do totally ship it, and I fucking love the show)
4PM: White Collar (further talk of OT3s!)
5PM: Fandom Suddenly Loves the Ladies (in which female characters can be more than The Love Interest, the lines between slash and het are no longer quite so defended with razor wire, and OT3s happen way more than they used to)
6PM: Chris Pine SWOT
8PM: Vid Show

Panels etc: Sunday
10AM: Auction/Raffle
11AM: Fandom, Copyright, and Copyleft (mod melannen's panel handout)
12PM: We <3 the BBC (huge list of British tv shows)
1PM: Building an Active Community (moar synecdochic)
2PM: They Fight Crime! (More or Less)
3PM: Dead Duck

And then I watched STR and Leverage with assorted fangirls.

Ah, the t-shirt narrows it down quite a bit but I think there were three of you wearing them at various times in the weekend (and I don't actually *get* that shirt but it made me laugh anyway!)--do you have black hair or blondish hair? I'll figure everyone out eventually. :-D Sadly it's been hard for me to link up different handles if there was any difference at all between the person's badge name and username! And I've done it myself, being cinco on dw and cincodemaygirl on lj. I wish I could be cinco everywhere, but people tend to beat me to it...

Black hair, glasses.

And the Mikey Fuckin Way thing - IDK the exact origin, but Mikey himself wore the shirt onstage a few times, and then they made it official merch for their last tour before going on the really long break they are still taking, fuckers.

Now I've made the connection, thanks! Now I just worry I'll forget who everyone is before I see them again at cons. Well, might as well worry about that when the time comes, eh?

Oh my gosh, that's pretty awesome. But then, if my fandom made a shirt like that with my name, I'd wear it... I think!
