San Antonio: The Lone Star Worldcon
Aug. 21st, 2013 05:02 pmRobert Silverberg will be at Worldcon; I have reminded myself to be careful, but the Silverberg Stupidity Field will no doubt be in operation and I'm not answerable should I find myself within the perimeter. This is of course no reflection on Mr Silverberg's intellect; only the proven fact that people do stupid things around him. I myself have knocked a wheelchair, with occupant, into the side of a lift while Robert Silverberg stood nearby. Occupant not hurt.
I leave next Tuesday to spend just over two weeks in the United States. Everything is pretty well organised. The rat tribe are being cared for in situ and will probably let me know all about the neglect [not allowed out all evening and no Second Supper] when I return.
Skipping some of the election hype is a bonus. I'm not pleased with much either major party is doing. They also aim most promises and declarations at "families" which is an instant turnoff for me. It's as though the entire population consists of male/female couples with kids. Single folk not of interest. So I'll vote before I go and check in sometime on the 8th to see how things are going. Maybe.
Anyone who reads this blog semi-regularly will know that my workplace has been extremely busy with its new contracts and still is. I'm tired in a built-up-over-months-with-no-leave-approved way. One of the things I'm looking forward to is staying in a fancy convention hotel, with no malfunctioning elevator that kept me awake far more than I planned to be.[Denvention '08] That, the Dealers Room, Tex-Mex cuisine and catching up with friends. Maybe I can kickstart the writerly part of my brain as well.
