WORLDCON WIN!!
It's over! (finally O_O such a long con!)
I basically stalked Neil Gaiman all weekend, but the maintain-respectful-distance-but-go-to-all-the-panels kinda stalk. 8D
*____* He is simply awesome!
Here's about what i did for the past 5 days.
Thursday:
Neil Gaiman Q&A - During which he mentions something about how people tend to believe that he wrote the plot to Good Omens and Terry Pratchett went after him strewing all the jokes.
Which spawned this....

Friday:
Neil Gaiman Signing - During which there is a stroke of luck when obtaining signing tickets, a 2 hour wait in line, some interesting conversations, and ultimately a very amused Neil and a hug for the Yue 8D.
Introduction to Coraline screening - During which Neil discovers the power of Sandman. XD (will upload vid as soon as i figure this out.../technofail)

Thanks soo much Naomi for the pic!!
Saturday:
Neil Gaiman Reading - During which this letter was read aloud. Please go read it... it is .. well... yeah. Just read it.O_O
Neil gaiman and Fandom - During which we discover more about fanboy!Neil XD
Neil Gaiman reading Cory Doctorow - During which you discover another talented young writer. *-* video link here
Sunday:
Hobbies of Neil Panel- During which there is a recounting of the sushi incident. XD
Neil and Gary K. Wolfe in conversation- In which the two author mostly ignore the audience but talk about fairly interesting thing nonetheless.
Monday:
Neil Gaiman Signing - For which Yue failed to get tickets but by some kind of stroke of luck was still able to obtain a hug! XD
A few Anime/manga panels and craft panels in between. One really really fascinating puppet demo panel *_* and a whole lot of wandering around wondering why the heck i'm even there, but overall it was quite fun! :)
Huge blurry pics are huge and blurry :(

At Cory Doctorow reading.

Talking about hobbies.

some other panel...

Coerced into wearing a Hawaiian shirt! XD

Signing my book yey! 8D
Crappy pic quality is crappy cause i tried to take them without flash, and the lighting was horrible >_>
