At Finncon and sick. Blah. I had to cancel on the Feminist SF panel yesterday because I had no voice. And I mean absolutely no voice I went around the con area whispering to people. Also, I was more preoccupied by the question why Finnish flu medicines are so crap compared to US and British ones than on any SF-related questions. Give me Sudafed or Lemsip anyday. Today, I am a better: nose not so blocked, I have not gotten my voice back but aqcuired somewhere this very nice low and sexy one instead. I am still feeling weak and wobbly, so I am going to take it veeeery slooowly today too.
My memories of the con itself are a bit blurry. Lots of girls in anime costumes, a panel about internet, Toni drinking Pepsi and claiming he decides what is SF and what isn't och en svenskspråkig panel. And a panel with lots of pictures of naked women.
Jukka is off at the con-site already as he is somehow again managed to gather a huge numer of stuff to do: he opened the con, arranged a table ice-hockey tournament, is in charge of the Jordan caber tossing and an SF quiz show. He is also chairing a panel at some point... Me I am just going to walk slowly to the con site, maybe see some programs, talk with people and try to stay on my feet.
Dead tired and nearly succumbed to that same flu Sari has been having /g/i/v/i/n/g/ /t/o/ /m/e/. More about Finncon hopefully by tomorrow, if I'll manage find myself well by Tuesday morning. I can feel my throat starting to hurt and by dose bhillimg wub bith pleghm... phlegm... goo. Mein Gott, what are these hot flashes? Am I menopausing?

Great Finncon, I'm just now working on the pictorial report for Enhörningen. By the way I also want to thank Sari for this wonderful Finncon-flu. (Well to be totally honest the origin of the flu can of course be any of the 3000+ Finncon-visitors.)

Jeah. I dodge and didn't get flu or maybe I rushed so much place to place that it did't keep up with me. Anyway, official count of visitors were 5000+
