World Fantasy Con

[deborahjross]

The celebrations began yesterday, with picking up la_marquise_de and
desperance from their gracious hostess, klwilliams and spiriting them away to See Trees. As in redwoods. As in big old redwoods. Then I made them eat chilaquiles, a sort of Mexican lasagna, davetrow gave them the quick tour of garden, vineyard and winery, we inflicted grapefruit and a bottle of homemade "Zardoz" wine on desperance, who seemed quite delighted to receive them, and I dropped them back "over the hill" in time for them all to jaunt up to Borderlands for desperance's signing.

In just a bit, I will hop back into the car, drive back over the hill, and manage not to get lost too many times finding the hotel for WFC.

I don't have any panels or signings, due to the overabundance of better-known or otherwise more desirable panelists, but I will be around. Please make yourselves known and let's go have entirely too much fun.

Today, 4 pm, tea (or whatever) with Lace and Blade authors

Friday evening, mass autographing

Saturday, 8:00 am, SFWA Business meeting

Plus, meeting with my editor to scheme and plot future Darkover novels, dinner with other DAWthors, also hobnobbing with old friends and new, and actually getting to attend a panel I am not on.

Sounds like fun. If I ever manage to get a job I may see you at one of these conventions again. ;-)

WFC is a particular joy because of its emphasis on writing and reading, not media. In one panel, one of the panelists objected (humorously but firmly) to another panelist's repeated references to movies... to much applause.

Full report to follow.

Last night, la_marquise_de, desperance, annmprice, and I finished off the delicious bottle of wine. Thank you for sending it!
