So I got some hot-tub time in this morning before checking out of the hotel, which was clearly the icing on a very pleasurable Apollocon weekend.
I really enjoyed hanging out and talking with old friends and all the extended members of this weird clan of ours. I could hardly go down a hall without finding someone I wanted to chat with. It was kind of like the dorms, but with more beer.
Here’s some photos I took while not bleerily nursing a coffee:
This is Patrice Sarath reading from her exciting new novel Gordath Wood.
Martha Wells reading from her new-yet-unpublished novel. Which makes those of us lucky enough to be at the reading specialer than you.
Just to drop a few more names and sweeten folks’ vanity googling I just want to say that I enjoyed the face time I got with Joe Picacio (as impressive a panelist as he is an artist), J. M. McDermott (author of Last Dragon), Maureen McHugh (yeah, you can hit me, I can take it), Kim Antell (who I got to meet in person), A.T. Campbell (a man among men), and Laurence Person (a rising star who we are all very proud of).
If I didn’t mention you it’s probably because we talked during one of my blackouts.
