I had a really great time at ConneXions. It's so much fun to be able to talk to other fen, regardless of fandom, and know that they get what I'm talking about.

Some highlights:

- Getting to see

wesleysgirl,

justhuman, and the other BNFs. And getting to meet

trkkr47 and

ktnb, who are a lot of fun.

- Realizing about halfway through a panel that I had left my wallet on the couch in the hotel lobby an hour before. By the grace of God (or whatever), some con people had found it and turned it into the front desk.

- Someone in a panel (which was actually for Master and Commander, but that's beside the point) talking about Gov Swann/Norrington slash and during the scene where the govenor's chatting him up to Elizabeth, she's like, "oh, just squee and get it over with."

- The songvids on Friday and Saturday night. Diana Williams does some really great vids in a bunch of different fandoms. (Unfortunately, her stuff isn't on the net, but you can get it from Agent Wtih Style.) And Flamingo does some great "Starsky and Hutch" vids (which, sadly, also aren't online; must find a way to get a copy of some of them). Also saw some kick ass vids from P.R. Zed. "Gay Bar" is a multimedia one that's a lot of fun. And "One of God's Special People" is a very touching Boromir one. (You ***HAVE*** to see this one, Regina! I command you!!!) Dementia Inc. and Remy both did some really cool vids, but I don't know where to find them yet. :-( Must find them.

- Got a bunch of Kiefer/Lou zines, so I'm very excited. :-D :-D :-D

- Getting a really kick ass drawing of Pippin and one of Faramir (which, I think, in reality, is a bit more rectangular in real-life, but that's beside the point) at the art show.

And since I heard "Underneath Your Clothes" by Shakira on the way home, I now have the seeds of a Legolas/Aragorn fic floating around in my head again. Damn.
