So That Was BiCon, And What Did I Do?[*]
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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

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 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.

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