Vividcon 2011 Report
Aug. 16th, 2011 05:16 pmGuys. You guys. So amazing, you guys.
When I went two years ago, I came back, well... I had fun, but there was this certain feeling that I was poking at the outsides of a community I didn't actually belong to or have a right to call my own (which may account for my low vidding output in the year following).
This year, I felt like I was part of a warm, joyful (and occasionally tearful) hug that lasted for days. I don't know if it's because I felt more confident as a vidder or because the atmosphere was just more inclusive, but my overall experience was night and day from 2009. So that was good.
I can't even begin to go chronologically. So I'll sort of pick at random wisps of weekend:
( Bullet points behind the cut )
There will be a recs post later, as noted above, but not until I've had a chance to sit down with the DVDs and relive the con.
