A great finale to a great week of culture (during which I also caught up with several friends). But I could not do all this, so intensively, in Real Life.

Current Mood: exhausted

First came Nine Worlds: love the new venue (Hammersmith Novotel) and felt much less frazzled than in previous years. My Historical Headcanon (concerning Christopher Marlowe) seemed well-received and I was on a couple of interesting panels about historical fiction, fanfiction, writing, etc.

Then to Edinburgh to skew my monthly averages for various types of Culture. I like the shorter-than-usual performances (they averaged an hour): leaves plenty of time for climbing the hills of which Edinburgh is composed, and pausing for refreshment at each summit.
( theatre, gigs, circus, literary stuff, opera, comedy )

Current Mood: satisfied
