Mid South Con
Mar. 25th, 2007 05:32 pmI'm home, I'm sober.
It was an excellent Con.
Despite the circus of my departure.
I dropped a whole bottle of Captain Morgan on the driveway and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reannon subjected me to "Why is the rum gone, Sparrow?" jokes until I got out to get more.
My reading was 5 PM Friday. I had one (male) stranger and three friendly ladies. The man sat stoically through the sexier bits of the reading. I warned him ahead of time.
The matchbooks went like crazy.
The newsletters moved too (I left about 10 each at a local coffee shop, the Gay & Lesbian Center and the gay bookstore today)
I had to explain, in the Fangs and Kisses panel, how vampires have sex when they have no body functions. The blood is trapped, unable to circulate out of the penis. Hence permanent erection. No ejaculation because of the lack of bodily fluids.
The Pirate Party.
If the measure of a successful party is how fast it gets shut down by the cops, we had the most successful con party on record.
45 Minutes after I opened the door, I shut it again, struck the Jolly Roger and posted a sign saying we were shut down by security. On the positive side, this allowed me to bogart most of the pitcher of Sex with The Captain.
I traded on that all weekend.
Saturday morning, as I was setting out more matchbooks, I met Terry Prachett who was peering at a pirate party poster. He expressed regret in missing it. I told him we were shut down in less than an hour for too much noise. He laughed and said "No party is truly complete until the police have been called." And gave him a matchbook.
I did some panels, stood in line to have stuff signed, sat a signing table myself and got asked to be a guest at OmegaCon in Birmingham in March 2008. The Leslie Fish concert was lovely. She has to bribe her guitar with whiskey or it goes sharp.
I gave up on EC with Nikolai. They won't let it be told the way it should be. Circle Dark will. So Circle Dark gets it as their first series. The ladies squeed muchly. And speaking of Squee,reannon won the Darrell for "Wonderland."
Last night I went for filking, and a couple panels, and then I went to get drunk. I was tired and sore and using the margarita as painkiller.
This morning, I loaded the car before I had breakfast with Leslie Fish and other filk fans.
And then I worked the dealer's room for a while.
I now have 2 Leslie Fish Albums, and a copy of The Four Bubbas of the Apocalypse. Plus leftover rum and peach schnapps and amaretto.
It was an excellent Con.
