Had a fantastic time at Loncon 3 (science fiction convention)! Listened to excellent readings by Cory Doctorow, Peter Morrison, Charles Stross, Catherynne M Valente. Saw an amusing talk on German sci-fi and watched the panelists dancing the Galyxo. Saw various panels on games - love in games (such as pigeon dating simulator Hatoful Boyfriend), point and click adventures (panel title: a rubber chicken on a pulley), LGBTQ gaming, using the past in games (such as Civ). Made an alien head from modelling clay. Listened to talks on women and time travel, architecture and sci fi, music of the future, Pygmalion's statue and her synthetic sisters. (Lars and the Real Girl for example). Saw many wonderful people, some of whom I hadn't seen for years. Saw a model of a post apocalyptic Peckham car-park, a pigeon flight simulator, many great costumes, and many other excellent talks and things and people.
