Has been fantastic. Talking about books for a solid weekend (with discursions into fandom,history, publishing, and so forth) is always going to be a winner for me.
Here is a not very good cell snap of Marie Brennan at her launch party last night, for A Star Shall Fall. After that it was to the Sirens ball, at which there were many fairy wings, gorgeous costumes, and much dancing with abandon. I did some dancing, but stupidly wore three layers, so I got overheated fast, and ended up talking story stuff with Ellen Kushner. Win!
Downside, about two and a half hours of sleep, so my brain is just sodden, and we hit the road after breakfast. Upside? We're going to caravan to Arazona with Janni Lee Simner and Larry Hammer, and tomorrow . . . writers horse camp!
