OMG. I'm definitely hiding! Yes, there was a naughty night out that involved absinthe. Let's just say it lives up to its reputation! (But the presentation was just sooooo much fun! **see me clapping my hands, "Do it again! Do it again!" ** I just posted a couple of photos on Facebook. Highlights: Ran into Jackie Kessler (sweetie) and Caitlin Kittredge a few times. Met new author Diana Rowland. Met Richard Kadrey (SANDMAN SLIM) and friggin' Brom!! He's coming out with a new goth Peter Pan story called THE CHILD THIEF. I have an arc and can't wait to read it. "Discovered" new author Kelly Gay (THE BETTER PART OF DARKNESS) out at the end of the year, and am enjoying that now. The panel was fun, though I think we all picked on the religious right too much. (Note to self: In future, don't go for the easy shot.) Met Holly Black, who is so sweet and talented. I want to make her my friend. Saw Marjorie Liu, SJ Day, Jeannie Stein (now I'm just name-dropping) but couldn't get in the same breathing space as Charlaine. She's a phenom now -- it's unbelievable. Her events were ticketed. She's like Gamain at this thing ... which is wonderful. I saw Eldon (Thompson) but we never actually hooked up for ice cream. His brother broke his nose jet-skiing so they had to do emergency room stuff. Yeesh. Learned about Kim's graphic novel deal -- YIPPEE!!!!!! I can't wait to read it. Saw some awesome readers from last year, which was great. Like old friends. And drank and ate ... a bit. ;D I just love this Con!

Met new author Diana Rowland. Oh yay! You met Diana! I was hoping the two of you would run into each other. Isn't she great? ;D Saw Marjorie Liu, SJ Day, Jeannie Stein (now I'm just name-dropping) but couldn't get in the same breathing space as Charlaine. She's a phenom now -- it's unbelievable. Her events were ticketed. She's like Gamain at this thing ... which is wonderful. So, in other words, you're disappointed you didn't get to hear Charlaine's accent... Bummer. I know how much you love to hear the southern drawl.
