I completely forgot to mention that I got to meet ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
boxofdelights; this was not only her first Wiscon, it was her first sf con. We may have spoiled her for other things. I also didn't mention the various people who I said hello to, but little more because they were so busy, people who belong at Wiscon but don't get there very often, like thesideshow and Stu Shiffman, and bibliofile, who I kept meaning to catch up with and didn't.
I did buy a few books: Air, by Geoff Ryman (planned), Stable Strategies and Others, by Eileen Gunn, Incredible Good Fortune, poetry by Ursula Le Guin, and Uncle Boris in the Yukon, by Daniel Pinkwater. When I got home, it turned out we have a copy of that already, thatcattitude had picked up, read, and dropped in a corner. adrian_turtle, if you still want this, you can claim it the next time we're in the same city.
sdn handed me a galley of the revised Tough Guide to Fantasyland, by Diane Duane Diana Wynne Jones, which is currently in Arlington because Cattitude and I have the first edition and Adrian doesn't. And everyone got a copy of Paul Park's A Princess of Roumania. With all that, I spent the weekend talking and reading a bit more of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children.
I bought one earring, a garnet stud made by Laurie Edison, for Cattitude. Adrian gave me a pair of earrings made from Scrabble tiles, which we'd discussed earlier, but we didn't get to the shop the last time I was in Arlington. I ogled a gorgeous necklace/crown made byelisem, "In the Tongue of the Beholder", but even if I liked chokers, it's too short for me. I briefly thought about asking to borrow it to wear as a crown to the fancy dress party on Sunday, but the silk salwar kameez is gold-patterned, and the necklace is in the silver I generally prefer.
