World Fantasy 2006 Day 1
Nov. 3rd, 2006 08:35 amThe first evening of the con was very lovely. Saw lots of folks--and met, in person, in the real,
bricoleur and
naomi_traveller! They are both delightful. (which I knew, but they're even better in person) Went to dinner with a bunch of the other authors and the editors (and some convivial extras) of the Cross Plains Universe anthology. The book is beautiful and I'm very happy about it. There's a review of it up on RevolutionSF, and even though it doesn't mention my story, it's a great review.
Question: Why does everyone think Austin is a desert? We get the same annual rainfall as Seattle here, folks. We just get it in half the time. The deserts are west of here. Austin is pretty damn green. In more ways than one.
Oh, and I had success (well, fingers crossed; I'm going by FedEx-Kinkos this morning to pick them up) with getting some alternate covers printed; only ten (it was kinda 'spensive), but enough for the con.
eta: I'm probably going to miss commenting on a bunch of friends' posts over the next few days. But I still love you. Yes, you.
