I'm glad I went, although my social ineptitude bored everyone to tears. Lots of neat people there.
Conversely, the nebula broadcast was the most boring crap ever. I had to leave before even any of the awards were announced, because they had some keynote speaker who was droning on and on about I dont know what, and showing slides of toilets, and stuff that looked like mold but I wasn't sure what it was, and then talking about soap at one point. The other guests I and exchanged glances, rolled eyes and made many snarky comments.
Moments of zen:
Holding N.K. Jemisin's water cup for a minute.
Having Brandon Sanderson's editor practically shouting into my ear. (heh).
Meeting the (adorable & hilarious) wife of the guy who wrote 'Let Us Now Praise Awesome Dinosaurs,' which is only the best story of all time. ALL TIME.
Oh, and some marketing guy from a book publisher wants to send me some free books. That sounds like "win" to me.
