A comment I posted elsewhere...

Someone elsewhere asked about the experience of an online con, and this is what I posted about Flights of Foundry, which I participated in this weekend while also doing cover work.

Other than the technical stuff, my biggest annoyance was not hearing about the convention until two days before it started. I would really have liked to get into one of the workshop sessions, but by the time I heard of the convention, the opportunity to do that had passed.

So if anyone knows of cons going on online--I already know about Wiscon, which I've signed up for, and Worldcon--especially ones with associated workshops, please let me know.

Today's quiz...

Tolkien or Antidepressant? Can you tell which ones are Tolkien characters and which ones are the names of antidepressants?

3...2...1...let's jam

Achievement unlocked: nuked lunch then went outside and sat in the actual sun to eat.

Achievement unlocked: discovered the mosquitos. :/

Also, if you want virtual jam sessions, here are...

Roger Waters, with "Mother"

Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts, temporarily reunited to give us "Tank!" and "The Real Folk Blues."

And in other news, a boutique camper hotel has opened about an hour from us, with 6 vintage Airstream trailers for rental and 15 spots where people can park their vintage trailers (seriously...they restrict the type of trailer!), and the entire concept is so utterly ridiculous that myrialux and I immediately booked a weekend in June so we can GET THE HELL OUT OF THE HOUSE. They've got procedures in place so we don't need to interact directly with other people, and at the moment they're only booking 3-day weekend stays so they can let the trailer sit for 24 hours, then go in and sanitize, then let it sit for another 24 hours before anyone else goes into it.
