I made it back to Kent on Sunday from IAFA 2008. I consider the conference a great success, because my presentation on Transformers, the Global War on Terror, and the new post-9/11 SF Narrative went astoundingly well and I met some of the best folks in SF Studies! I think the guy with TB on my return flight passed it on to me, because I’m fighting a sore throat and a cough. I’m taking plenty of medicine and vitamin supplements, so I expect to pull through in a few days. Expect updates this week summarizing my experiences at IAFA and the panels I attended.
If there’s one thing I HATE HATE HATE it’s getting stuck next to the guy with tb. Always happens to me. Except that time I was flying from Iceland to London and I got seated next to a guy whose skin was rotting off. Not quite leprosy, but pretty gross.
