Here at the end of all things
Aug. 10th, 2018 03:31 pmGot up horribly early and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
feochadn took me to the airport. I was never so grateful for the chance to upgrade (usually they don't let you do first class with miles on the popular flights) because I was insanely tired and my back was utterly killing me. In fact, when they wouldn't let us stand or get out of our seats (when the pilots come out to use the lavatories), I was just in agony waiting for the chance to stand up. Ugh, flying.
But it was also kind of fun because there were multiple Seattle peeps on the plane and most of us know each other pretty well, and then we caught the shuttle to the hotel and probably drove the other passengers nuts because we'd met up at the airport with another friend and I don't think they knew what to do with all of us.
My pre-Vividcon era chronology show is at 1, and there's a couple things I want to attend, but for the most part I'm going to try to take it easy on my back, even if it means missing some things. I'm already sort of preemptively sad about this being the final con, but...well.
Putting a show together that showcases 20+ years of vidding in 45 minutes was hard, y'all. So unbelievably hard. And I looked at the program booklet last night and after all these years, I finally have a vid that closes the show--achievement unlocked! I've had ones at the start, but never a closer. even thought sometimes I've thought a vid I brought might make an excellent ending vid.
It's wonderful to see so many people one last time. I'm sad knowing that there are many I may never see again, because they've largely stopped going to cons and live all the way across the country. I'm not on twitter so I don't know what all the conversation is like there--hopefully people will alert me if something interesting shows up.
Expect a few vid posts here as the premieres start showing up.
