I’m now home from an 8-day trip to Ottawa, Canada as one of the Editor Guests of Honor at Can-Con and to spend time visiting Marie and her partner and their clowder. This was my first trip to Ottawa. I hope it will not be my last. I had such a good time. I will miss them and Canada, but I am happy to be home. (Because: Kittens!)
As has become tradition after a convention, I tell you 10 things that may or may not have happened. 8 are true. 2 are lies.
- I may or may not have done shots with Arley Sorg at Can-Con.
- I may or may not have revealed some personal secrets to people new to me.
- I may or may not have discussed being in a feud with Sarah Gailey. What’s the feud about? We don’t know—yet.
- I may or may not have convinced the Husband to do something extremely silly.
- I may or may not have taken my GoH costume judging duty quite seriously and argued my case with fellow judge Arley Sorg.
- I may or may not have absconded with Greg Wilson (and others) for a private conversation to plan shenanigans for Worldcon Seattle 2025.
- I may or may not have received an insightful tarot reading from a stranger.
- I may or may not have helped Ed Greenwood and Marie Bilodeau learn a new game called Gudnak for reasons.
- I may or may not have accidentally gone into a secret sex shop in a mall that looked like a toy store—blades, bongs, and butt plugs, oh my! (Marie takes me to the best places!)
- I may or may not have visited an underground bunker and discovered that US history from the outside looking in is…telling.
Did I mention kittens?
