Back in Oxford now, after spending the weekend in Leicester at BiCon.[**] Twas my first BiCon and, overall, I had an absolutely wonderful time!

BiCon was... intense. Indeed, to my surprise, the intensity level affected me more than I had expected[***]. Being a regular at sci-fi conventions and Pagan festivals for well over a decade now, I had felt quite prepared for something like BiCon... and I must confess that I was not. It may not be quite as intense as a festival like Starwood, but the flavour of the intensity -- while similar -- was just different enough to catch me off guard.

That's okay, though, because I might be just a wee bit of an intensity junkie.

Speaking of Starwood, I have to say that my BiCon summary is very similar to this year's Starwood summary: Apart from one snafu, the weekend was utterly fantastic! Adding a touch of irony, it seems that, while I was at BiCon, I managed to undo the Starwood snafu[****]. Go figure!

Finally, anyone who knows me personally[*****] is aware that a big goofy grin can often be found on my face. Nonetheless, I want to give a special thanks to one person -- you know who you are -- for making that grin even wider!

[*] To be sung to the tune of John Lennon's Happy Christmas, of course!

[**] Hmmm... I don't think that I have spent a weekend -- or at least not a full one -- in Oxford since the end of May! And the next two are going to be no exceptions, either!

[***] That's where the surprise bit comes in, yes?

[****] This is fun to say, actually! "Undo the Starwood snafu." Go on -- try it! Five times fast, if you can!

[*****] Which is the entirety of my f-list except for that oddball [livejournal.com profile] blur01.

It was really good to see you having such a good hair-gripping, grin-wearing, kilt-sporting, hug-giving BiCon!

P.S
Is your livejournal email the one I can send you the stories/poems on?

You, my dear, win the grand prize for the best adjectives of the day! *grins* What a great way to summarise my BiCon!!

P.S. Yes, sending to my LJ e-mail should work just fine, thank you! I am very much looking forward to reading them!

I'm somewhat of an intensity junkie myself, even if I seek intensity in different situations than you do. (I suspect you have seen me at my most intensity-seeking at one or another of those Sooper Seekrit October Hoedowns.)

Heya.

I left you another message but deleted it because it contained by mobile number. I've cleared it with work to head up on Thursday afternoon so I can go ringing. Drop me a line (contact details on my profile page if you didn't get the email) and we can sort stuff from there.

Excellent! I just sent you a text about meeting up tomorrow evening. Let me know if you don't get it and I will send it again. Looking forward to it!!

I just realised IOU one scrunchy hairband.

And I NEED to copy the chumbawamba gig I recorded onto a CD sometime!

From: [identity profile] anarchist-nomad.livejournal.com


Hee hee! I would say "don't worry about it" with regards to the hairband... except that, so long as you haven't paid it back, it gives me an excuse to see you and hang out again! :-)

As for the Chumbawamba -- bring it on! I'd love to hear it!!!

From: [identity profile] bethanthepurple.livejournal.com


Dang! Foiled again!

I need to download some decent audiofile converting software - been promising the recording to wifeypants for ages too!
