I’m pretty sure I just had a second day in Leipzig, but it’s a kind of blur. Some thoughts to record however:

* Cosplayers, cosplayers, cosplayers. Mr Jenkins to the white courtesy phone please, your meme is ready

* The Viennese coffee stand: I had to actually stop myself from going back because I’d drunk so goddamned much amazing coffee

* US consular folks: pretty nice

* Rohwolt’s CFO: pretty reasonable on the subject of free downloads!

* German press: Extremely sweet

* German sound guys: Tell you what: when I’m doing a reading and I get WAY close to the mic and speak WAY loud during a dramatic moment, I’m doing it for a REASON. It is not a call for you to turn the gain on my mic down so low I have to swallow it from then on in order to get any amplification. Work with me here.

* Leipzig airport only sells broadband in two increments: 1 hour and 30 days. Can you say screwjob? Danke T-Mobile, und get screwed.
