BiCon meme
Aug. 13th, 2017 09:19 amSessions run: One, the Bi Photo Casebooks one.
Sort of - it was on the programme at 9:30 on Saturday, and a combination of the timeslot and the other things in it meant there ended up being two of us... which wasn't really enough. So we left a note and I went late to my second choice.
(I'd still like to do some, but it'll involve doing what other people do and ripping off The Sun's images to use with new words. That'd involve accepting that their range of representation of people though.)
Sessions attended: Seven. Regenerating momentum for anti-racist work; Continuity almost-AGM; Stonewall - what happened; Pre-DMP; Social life blogging; Bi oral history project; UK Bi Pride; Sex toys.
Oh, that's eight. Nine if you include the one I tried to do. Ten if you include the DMP itself, which I don't.
Sleep achieved: Enough. Each night. Despite being on the noisy side of the accommodation (i.e. facing the entrance) and the 'why were the council not overthrown when they allowed it' 24 hour flights.
Having said that, I was definitely yawning on the drive back.
People snogged: None.
People I did Rude Things with: None.
People I would have liked to do more sex-type things with but didn't: 'Would have happily done sex-type things with if they had asked', almost everyone as usual.
I am really amused that only one person noticed something / felt able to ask.
The two people who have been easily on top of the 'would have liked..' list both know and aren't interested, so aren't on it any more. Very good non-sexual time spent with both of them.
Hugs achieved: I don't see it as a.. contest? which is what 'achieved' makes it feel like. Some.
Songs danced to: None
Parties attended: For some of us, the whole thing is a party. Party parties, none. I would have gone to the cheese one had I not been helping someone else with something at the time.
Games played: Skulls & Roses, Dixit (lost badly each time), Sushi Go (leading coming into the last round, last at the end of it), Jaipur (narrow loss).
Strange food and drinks consumed when offered to me: I liked the bakes in the craft space.
Number of children I was responsible for: .. at BiCon, none. I helped made sure one toddler didn't escape the very nice pizza place I went to on Saturday.
Food eaten: One of the most sensible things I did was bring the ingredients for gazpacho, make a bowl of it on Thursday evening, and eat it throughout. Liquid! Veg! Some carb! Veg!
People I meant to talk to, or meant to talk to more, but didn't: One in particular, but there is never enough time to spend as much as I want with everyone I want to.
Things I didn't bring, but should have: Toothbrush and paste. I also missed the implications of 'no toiletries' in the what was provided by the venue list and didn't pack any soap etc.
It's a bit weird that the venue throw away a huge number of barely used toilet rolls in order to give everyone a new one, but don't do soap...
Pages of book(s) brought that were read: None. I wasn't really expecting to, but I did bring one.
Alcohol consumed: None.
Other recreational drugs taken: None.
Times I fell over: None.
Injuries sustained: A scrapped knuckle on something.
Perseids spotted: None, grrr.
People spotted in the train station on Sunday afternoon: Came by car.
Best non-Bicon thing about the weekend: The only non-BiCon thing I did was go for two bits of food, once for a takeaway for five which also meant I could also get things like a toothbrush etc that I had forgotten to pack plus some breakfast yogurt from a Co-op that happened to be opposite, and the aforesaid pizza.
Volunteering done (can be anything even small thing like picking up litter or buying organisers a drink): Plenty.
