Eastercon Schedual

This isn't going to be a con-report. Just noting down what was happening, which comes to several hundred words in itself. I'm not sure if I'll do a full report on LJ or save it for a fanzine. Or given the length a full report would be, do a highlights bit for a fanzine?

Massive massive thanks to all those who helped make this such a great weekend. The committee, staff, ops crew, gophers, and programme participants. I'd particularly like to thank [livejournal.com profile] hawkida, Elanor, and Tamar, all three of whom I saw were rarely off duty and missed most of the programming, instead making sure that it all happened for us.
