Tired as heck.
Went to see Maria Snyder read.
Went to a panel on Supporting Characters, featuring: (?), David Duncan, Moore, Wendy Wheeler, and Melanie Rawn.
Walked to McDonald's and grabbed an M&M McFlurry for lunch. Went to a panel on dark forests in urban fantasy, featuring: Robin Hobb, Jane Lindskold, David B. Coe, and Kelly Link.
Went to see a Paranormal Romance reading, and met Judi from SHU. Went to another panel on Blogging and Social Networking, featuring: Andrew Wheeler, Lynn Flewelling,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
matociquala and David Levine.
Found some Clarion O4's and went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with them, and then it was back to the con hotel for the autograph session. Here's Maria listening to all the good things a fan has to say about her books.
I got all the books signed I brought, including Charles DeLint (very nice guy,) Nina Kiriki Hoffman (who has the most elaborate autograph ever--half a dozen colors and a nifty design,) Tim Waggoner (another Ohioan!) Lynn Flewelling (another SoCal person!) Robin Hobb (who meant the Farseer series to end where it was--but then had the ideas for the Fool series) Elizabeth Moon (whose agent brought her a cake to celebrate their twenty years together) and I got Glen Cook to sign a book for my friend A who now has to come visit me in order to get it, bwa ha ha ha ha.
Then it was a stop at the noisy and crowded Tor party, and getting lost on the way back to my hotel. And now it's bedtime, hence the abruptness of this blog. Actually, a few little things--it's a nice, cozy con because it has more serious fans and writers. But there's a few odd quirks to this one--everyone agrees that the program could have been put together in a better way (it's listed event by event, and doesn't have the day on each page so it's hard to find stuff) and the badges don't have individual numbers, which makes it hard to bid on art and auctions. And once in a while it does sort of suck being a wannabe rather than a published writer, because there's little groups of folks going out on invite-only dinners. Then again, there were plenty of folks who weren't, and when I waited long enough I did find folks to eat dinner with. But it's fun, I'm glad I came.
Anyhoo. I'm going to bed now. Really.
