kate_schaeferI'm having a terrific time at Wiscon this weekend. The highlight of the weekend, so far, was singing with a bunch of women last night. We mostly sang old British folk songs and silly camp songs, the kinds of songs you learned when you were twelve, if you were lucky, and continue to sing in the shower many many years later. The highlights of that highlight, for me, were singing "Rolling of the Stones" with Ellen Kushner, and hearing Rachel Holmen sing "The Five Constipated Men of the Bible." When I go home, I must get out some of those old folkie LPs and figure out whether and how to replace them.
Another highlight was piling into a car that was almost large enough for five people and going to Ichiban with Kate Yule, David Levine, and Vicki Rosenzweig. Despite its name, Ichiban is a Szechuan restaurant. Kate found the restaurant through application of her awesome superpower and Yelp fu. Our party's combination of foods to avoid meant that we ended up eating intensely flavorful but mild foods, the most interesting Szechuan eating experience I can remember ever having.
As usual, Wiscon is far too full of people I want to see, most of whom are also trying to see far too many people, and many o f whom are hanging out in places other than where I'm hanging out. As complaints go, this one does not rate high on the pain scale.
