ConDFW

[rachelmanija]

Sherwood and I were guests of honor at ConDFW this weekend. (I hope she has made it back, after an unfortunate Amtrak delay.)



Me before erotica panel: "If someone buys me a drink, this panel will be 200% more interesting." Photo taken after panel. It was an excellent apple-cucumber martini. I believe the panel was as interesting as promised.

The con was lovely. I met many cool people and got to discuss werewolves, Marines, PTSD, women in superhero comics, Stagecoach Mary Fields (a 6' African-American woman who fought a duel at a nunnery and had a standing sucker bet that she couldn't knock out any cowboy with one punch), Ethiopian aether chemists, PTSD, food in science fiction from cram to the blushful Hippocrene, and sex. Also, I got barbecue and Valar Morghulis beer. Good times.

To me they first suggested "carpal tunnel." If that doesn't prove I'm middle-aged I don't know what would.

Sadly, me too, I thought "Wow! Actual stylish wrist braces, at last!" Considering how many people have to wear such things, there ought to be some with style and interest.

There probably are some. Or at least ones you can put over the medically-necessary ones. I just assumed they existed and that Rachel is a person who, if she needed braces, would wear ones that looked cool.
