The trouble with the first several days of Worldcon was that I was having so much fun I kept lying awake at night grinning like an idiot and keeping myself awake with happiness, which meant that although I technically went to bed about 3:15 on Saturday morning, it was tragically closer to 4 before sleep actually arrived. And I had a 10am panel. Frankly, my friends, I did not expect it to go well. None of us did, in fact. We were all privately agreeing that this was probably going…

Any other time you…
Yes, I know, I’m the person in Ireland many of you know, so it ticks that item off the list if you can get me to do it. Yes, I know, you’re having a wonderful silly time participating and want other people to join in and have fun too. Yes, I know, it’s just this one thing. Yes, I know, it’s for a good cause.
