I had a great time going to for the day on Saturday. I ran into some friends, chatted with a few pro's that  know and got reminded how much fun a con can be when one isn't on the schedule. It's the first time in more than five years I've been to a con and not on the schedule.

That said, it was still work. I was introduced by a panelist as an agent ( Read more... )

Those who were at Lunacon will be unsurprised that the Good is by far the longest section.

The good:
I arrived just before seven pm Thursday, having not eaten since mid day, I was merely famished. Dave & Barb Freer were in the lobby ready to start eating anyone who stopped moving, or was wearing an attractive cologne not having had a chance to eat ( Read more... )

In addition to Dave Freer i have two other clients attending Lunacon. Chris is an Aussie so he probably won't make it to cons stateside all that often, Charles Gannon is known to quiet a few from his days as a game writer.

And that James Enge will be in the building to tantilize you with the book y'all have just preordered having seen the cover.

Yes, this is really late.

Day three was like today a day where there were no scheduled panels for me. It was also a busy, busy day. The only important meetings were with the Chairs of Conjecture and Lunacon. We talked about a couple idea's and people who wanted to be there.

Yesterday was fun, and all the set work was done by two so I relaxed a bit more the rest of the day.

Joshua Bilmes did a fantastic job moderating, Eleanor Wood contributed in that cool reasoned way she does. Lucienne Diver ( Read more... )
