Windycon!

[beige_alert]

Windycon was tons of fun.

Tricky Pixie and the various permutations of Sooj, Betsy, Alec, and everyone else was wonderful. Heather Dale and Ben Deschamps are crazy-cheerful. Tomboat was great. Mary Crowell. Fiddling Amy. Just sort of all the awesome you can stand.

Random Observations:

• Percussionists hit objects to make sound. The majority of objects in the universe will make sound if you hit them, not just Official Percussion Instruments recognized by the Percussion Institute and sold in music stores. Also objects purchased at Home Depot.
  
• Everyone loves fiddle! Thanks sweetmusic_27!
  
• Should have brought my heart rate monitor. The climb up to the 14th floor (where my room was) was fun. The hotel is a bit confusing, but stairs actually do have a few signs. Not enough, but better than average, though that isn't saying much. Stairs were slightly less ugly than average, too.
  
• It is much awesome to be right up near Amy and Betsy when they play.
  
• I grew up near the current hotel's location, and used to go to that shopping mall, though it doesn't really look anything like I remember anymore.
