Greetings from HI!
That’s, Holiday Inn, in official Archon abbreviation. Not Hawaii. I’d say, “sadly,” but I’m pretty thrilled to be here.
I’ve been offline for a couple days. Now back thanks to the hotel’s wireless net. At least until the Nerd Wave crashes it sometime Friday evening, along with the elevators.
Did an appearance tonight with Guest of Honor Barbara Hambly, an excellent writer who’s also quite nice, at the Brentwood Library, courtesy of Sheila Lenkman, the Masquerade Goddess. It was fun; we got twenty-five people. We talked a little, read some excerpts, signed some books. Sheila was disappointed that I didn’t bring the famed Toy Dinosaurs; I told her people would have to come to the reading tomorrow at 4:00 PM at the Holiday Inn (or HI.) Although sadly a fair number of attendees can’t make it because of the steep NASFiC membership rates.
Instead I read a couple passages from my story for the upcoming Wild Cards anthology, Busted Flush. It seemed to go over pretty well.
More later. I’m pretty fuzzed, having started the day on an early expedition to do Cowboy Action shooting at a local club and pretty well kept running since. I’ll be a busy lad, writing on my latest Rogue Angel as well as doing a bunch of con stuff.
I’m really looking forward to this con.
