ahh, the dream

[mamajoan]

Of course it all came back to me just as I hit "update" on the last post.

I dreamt that I had arrived at Worldcon and was waiting for my peeps to show up. I had checked into the hotel and was investigating my room. Despite having asked for and gotten a room on the "quiet floor," I had noise too -- instead of a fourth wall, there was a ledge, and it looked down on a big ballroom maybe ten or fifteen stories below. There was a band in the ballroom playing rock music and it was quite loud. I was standing on the edge of the balcony/ledge/room and looking down, and a random woman wandered by and made some comment to me about it, and looked like she was going to fall off, but then wandered away.

Then Laura showed up, minus Ariana, which was odd; but she had just arrived and checked in and her room was next door to mine. (In RL, we always share a room at Worldcon!) She came in just as I was looking for the TV remote to check out hotel closed-circuit TV, because I was bored. It was also suddenly occurring to me that the ballroom below was the place where all the con's late-night filking was going to take place. I said as much to Laura and she said something like, "well, you like filking, you'll lie in bed and listen to it." I replied, "Yeah, or, I'll go to the hotel people and demand a different room." Because sure, I like filking, but I like sleep too, and it was loud!

Then Laura was laughing at something in her con registration material, and she showed it to me. There was a tiny sticker with your con registration number on it, which was supposed to be stuck to your con badge, but instead Laura had received a blank badge and the sticker on a separate piece of paper. Along with it, there was a note from the con organizers, saying essentially that because Laura was special (i.e. her registration number indicated she had paid extra money, or registered early, or something), she got to stick her sticker on the badge individually rather than having it done for her ahead of time. And it said something like, "we know you'll pee yourself with excitement over this," which was the part she was laughing at.

Anyway, all this time we were checking this stuff out, the loud bands were still playing below, and meanwhile I was wondering where xochiquetzl and Brian were, and whether they had checked in yet. And that's the Worldcon dream of last night.

It's a good thing it's only two more months till Worldcon, 'cause obviously my dreams are trying to tell me that I'm anxious to get there! :)
