Long day

So happy--reading of "8 rms" went very, very well. Folks laughed. Quite a bit. In the right places. Happy.

And the other readings were wonderful! Pat Murphy read from a fantasy novella in progress, Greg Frost from SHADOWBRIDGE, and Carol Emshwiller from a story she just sold to F&SF. I can't recall ever enjoying readings as much. We had a full house--most of the chocolate was consumed, as was the bottle of scotch that Greg brought.

Bought two small drawings by Quynh Mai Nguyen, a frog and a gathering of unicorns. Very nice dinner with Yanni Kuznia and Diane Silver. Then the Tiptree Auction--I am now the proud owner of a very rare Space Babe coin bank.

Long day. Good day. Sleep now. Happy.

"8 rms" was a fantastic story. I laughed when I read it. I wish I could have been there.

The drawings on that website you pointed out are absolutely stunning.

Ah, you bought a piece by moifa. Cool!

She's taken a little time off and is finally getting back into cons.

Her work is truly lovely. I believe she sold all the pieces she brought.

I love that story -- I'm so glad it went over so well!

Welcome home!
