New icons for my icons100 challenge in this post, full icon table here. 67 down, 33 to go!

Yea, verily did the prodigal return

Well, I'm back from Conflux, all convention-ed out but with some nice books and magazines and art prints memories and a somewhat lighter hip pocket. Canberra's infernal circles did fail to faze me, and the hotel lifts did not eat me. I count that as a win :).

Lessee now...random thoughts on the con:

All the writers and artists and editors are good folk. Some (especially David B Coe, Sean Williams and Stephen Dedman) convinced me through their sheer awesomeness to give their stuff a try.

The phone interviews with Lloyd Alexander, Arthur C Clarke and Ray Bradbury were pretty cool (except for Sir Arthur, who was curt in his answers and somewhat forgetful - seriously, I think he's going to die soon). Lloyd Alexander gets up at INSANE O'CLOCK!!! two or three every morning to write, which is just...well, insane. And dedicated. I mean, he's eighty-two.

The Dalek invasion shall be greeted with crowds looking to "capture the moment" on camera phone; small children will also play chicken with our extermination-happy overlords. (every lunch break, several Daleks came out into the National Museum's atrium to amuse terrorize the people)

I might do a more organised con report when I find my notes. Or not. Either way, an enjoyable convention, and I hope they have another one - if not next year (there seems to be some uncertainty), then the year after.

Now sleep...
