Yaoi-con was FANTASTIC!

As a con, it was the second most disorganised I've ever been to, but still managed to have some really great moments despite the multiple small (and few less small) annoyances. As an excuse to meet up with a bunch of fellow tasteful pervs like [livejournal.com profile] tameiki1 [livejournal.com profile] nekojita [livejournal.com profile] forsaken1973 [livejournal.com profile] mac_lynn [livejournal.com profile] duet_chan [livejournal.com profile] kendokat [livejournal.com profile] moonriddler_mim and [livejournal.com profile] hidden_hero, pimp each other our hot guys (and alcohol) of choice and purchase excessive quantities of fine pr0n, it would be damn hard to surpass.

On the subject of pimping, in that respect [livejournal.com profile] hidden_hero should come with a warning stamped on her forehead, because she is dangerously good at it. All broke people should steer clear!

It will definitely be interesting to see if any results come out of the panel discussing a boys' love game aimed at the western market, but even if it never happens, the panel was fun and intriguing. Probably the most surprising thing about it was the high level of agreement between attendees regarding what we would want to see, with only a few points that a consensus wasn't quickly reached on.

San Fran was beautiful in warm and golden sunshine, unlike my current wet locale, and Hallowe'en in the Castro was a bizarre and fun (if horrendously crowded) costumed street party which definitely had to be seen. Extreme gratitude goes to [livejournal.com profile] mac_lynn for tirelessly patient chauffering duties that allowed us to see the city rather than just the hotel.

The current plan is to be back next year, oh yeah, sleep deprivation and all....

Heh. It was kind of busy *grin*. The policeman who told us it would take us half an hour to go four blocks was underestimating! We never did meet up with [livejournal.com profile] kiriko_moth because it took her party 3 hours to get there from the hotel. But there was music, and a guy stripping naked on stage, though we were too far away to see the details :-(

We knew vaguely how to get back to the hotel, but not the specifics. I'm kind of used to the London Underground, which has big maps on every wall saying where the trains are going and showing the connections. This sadly does not seem to be the case in San Fran, which is even sadder when the metro staff you ask for directions tell you wrongly. Luckily, we figured it out before we actually got on the train, but only because no train came for a while.
