Chicago Report!
Sep. 5th, 2012 10:54 pmIt's been two days now since we flew back from Chicago, so I figured I should put up some sort of post. The trip was, I have to say, absolutely amazing. There was fun family stuff like taking Ros to the Children's Museum and a Chinese Circus, and great panels, like the brilliant Kaffeklatsch I managed to get into with Ken Liu ahead of his winning the Hugo for Best Short Story. And it was also nice to catch up with my cousins, and some LJ friends. (Hi
pxr5 and
sooguy.)
Going to the con and attending panels has even re-invigorated my desire to write a bit of pro fic, as did Ros when I was explaining the Hugos to her:
Me: I'm going to the Hugos tonight.
Ros: What's that?
Me: It's a ceremony where they give awards to people for writing the best stories.
Ros: Are you getting one?
That just made me well up a bit.
Okay, before I crash, have a few pictures...
First, Ros in front of the Bean. (Okay, the sculpture is actually called the Cloud Gate, but no one calls it that.)

( This way to more pics )
