Bubonicon is coming. I’ll be there, along with a bunch of cool authors, artists, and fans. You should too. Another year, another Wild Cards signing! This time out Melinda Snodgrass, Daniel Abraham, John J. Miller, Caroline Spector, Ian Tregillis, and of course, Victor Milán (dot’s I’m!) will be signing the concluding volume of our current Committee triad, Suicide Kings. Also. Wild Carder Carrie Vaughn will be there; she doesn’t have a piece in Suicide Kings, [...] Having a fine time at Archon! Yesterday started out with a reading – at one point I had as many as six people!

Not writing enough, not exercising enough. Not creating enough pleasure in my life. Not getting enough juice out of life, as Tony Robbins puts it. Also I’m not getting younger, fuck it anyway. I truly believe that in the very near future our lives – that’s productive, vigorous, joyous life, not having [...] So it’s been one week. Last Saturday afternoon I suddenly decided, and announced on Twitter, that I was embarking upon a fast on news and opinion. By that I meant I wouldn’t voluntarily seek out news or opinions on current events or (especially) politics, online or in any other medium. As I said at the time, I [...] … to emcee the Archon 32 Masquerade, than my damn tuxedo pants began to fall down. We had a packed house – standing room only, plus, I later learned, a boatload of people watching the show on big-screen TV in an overflow room (plus riffing on me and the contestants MST3K style, which is surely gilding [...] Went off well. If I do say so myself, since I was Toastmaster. Because they always rent me a tux for my gig as Masquerade MC (which I also am this year) I decided to wear it tonight for OCs. Which went over well enough. I don’t know if I was even the slickest-dressed [...] |
