Someone at #Worldcon unfamiliar with the general vibe of @[email protected]’s famous dance party perked up wht excitement when I mentioned he was DJing.
“Oh wow! Like EDM?”
I laughed but tbh I’d kind of love seeing Scalzi go full Acidcat EDM scene kid fever dream? -

Around this time last week, I was wandering into strangers' hotel rooms, looking around, chatting with some people, and maybe helping myself to snacks and drinks. When can I do this again?

Imagine my surprise at learning there was a #COVID outbreak at #WorldCon. Who could possibly have anticipated that.
Just saw someone I love and respect posting about how she really hopes she didn't catch it there, since she's already had it four times.
I understand taking COVID precautions is hard for some people. I get it, truly.
But still, this makes me so sad.
People don't actually have to keep getting COVID over and over. There are ways to reduce the risk without living like a hermit. -

Had lots of fun last weekend streaming panels from the 5th Los Angeles World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) in Anaheim, California.
One delightfully dark, new-to-me little saying may have come from the panel titled "Poisonous Plants: When 'Natural' Is Not Very Good for You":
"All mushrooms are edible. Some are only edible once."

CW: October Daye Cosplay and Spike the Rose Goblin
Last weekend we went to #WorldCon / #LAConV for a day. It was our first convention since 2019 (for, you know, reasons), and my wife finally got to build a rose goblin and cosplay as October Daye, something she's been planning to for years. (Basically since we were gifted the jacket.)
Spike is described in the books as a cross between a rose bush and a cat. Three craft store grape-vine wreaths, soaked for reshaping, give it structure. Bougainvillea vines are woven through it to add thorns, though she ended up trimming them so it wouldn't be hazardous if someone grabbed it, or if someone else's costume brushed up against it. (We both managed to stab ourselves on the thorns while she was making it.) She cut a bunch of artificial leaves to look like rose leaves, and sewed them onto the vines.
For the eyes, a pair of LEDs are hooked up to a battery (the switch hidden under leaves) and placed inside mini ping-pong balls, held in place inside the head by wire.
Originally she was planning to put it on a skateboard and pull it along behind her, holding it on using magnets and washers, but the magnets turned out not to be strong enough. So the day before the con, she scrapped the skateboard and built a handle into Spike's back so she could carry it around. It turned out to be better anyway, since the skateboard wouldn't have gone on an escalator.

Ok, finally home and in bed. A week's vacation shouldn't be so exhausting, but #Worldcon is *always* exhausting no matter how much you tell yourself to take it easy.
Of course, the trouble is that it's only 2100 PDT, and I was in Anaheim long enough to shift my clock. Hopefully, since I managed to get up at 0645 most days, my body won't object too much to 0530, especially if it's sunny out this morning.

I had a fine time attending the 5th Los Angeles Worldcon in Anaheim, California—virtually, from my couch south of Boston. A dazzling array of smart writers, editors, artists, & fans riffing on myriad panel topics in science fiction, fantasy, & horror.
Some panels had too many audio dropouts, & a few—like the one featuring Hugo nominees for Best Novel—experienced total streamfail. Oh well; it was still pretty damned glorious.
