the view from Apollocon: Saturday

man, i’m even more of a slacker with the pictures today than i was yesterday.

this is pretty much all i took.

and it ain’t that great a picture.

after the con weekend is over, you should wander over to jayme blashke’s blog, because he’s been pretty sharp on the camera and interacting with people and such.

it’s been a pretty fun and laid back con in general. i made a point of sleeping in late, getting a slow start, and walking over to the jack in the box for breakfast around noon. then i hung out in the media room, watching star trek fan movies, and eventually wandered upstairs to the kaffeklatches for mikal trimm and the one for jessica reisman. yeah, it’s been a slacky day.

in fact, i’m slacking so much i can’t even bother with capitals.

anyhoo. when i wasn’t slacking, or hanging out at the bar with the cool kids, i actually moderated this panel on the steampunk subgenre and the cultural phenomenon that blossomed from it. i think everyone got their fair say in the matter, although chris roberson and lou anders probably had the lions share of commentary.

the important part is that i essentially blew out my stash of space squid. even though we had a 600+ copy run of #5, we’re down to just a handful. we have enough to stock dragons lair and then we’re through.

and then came the parties. at this point i’ve had more shiner than the spoetzl family dog. i’ll be lucky if i can find the submit button with both hands . . .
