Yesterday evening was the Tiptree Auction, one of my favorite events. It always gets a little out of control, and indeed, Elizabeth Bear (wearing a green corset) offered to be one of the Lovely Ladies showing off merchandise, and I, at some point in the evening, three a dollar into Sharyn November's skirt to buy a Faery Handbag for Kelly Link. I do love these people.
I got bored more quickly than usual, however. I think last year was so big, so over the top, that this year everyone is taking a collective breath (if they showed up at all--there aren't nearly as many guest of honor alumni this year as there normally is). I think there weren't that many exciting things in the pot, and fewer people to bid them up to crazy amounts.
So we bailed early and went to the haiku earrings party. My Haiku was titled "The Clockwork Fairy":
Music Winding Down
Her Battery Induced Haze
Punk Pierced Silver Arms
And for this I was given a pair of earrings.
Whoops, time to go to the next panel. My NEXT post will be about the parties, I promise. It's good stuff...
