or not… :)

When I said I was going to go write, I decided to first go lie down for a 10 minute nap. The 10 minute nap lasted an hour. When I staggered upright again, Ted announced that wisdom was the better part of valor and that I should read a book and go to bed instead of writing and going to the dead dog party. I think Ted is a very wise and clever man, and will be going to bed as soon as it no longer seems embarrassingly early to…

dead dog

Today was dead dog day: everybody was dragging around saying goodbyes (sometimes several times in succession to the same people), but it was still fun.

drive-by posting

Not 5 minutes after we arrived at WFC I saw , so we hung out, met other people, went through swag bags, chatted, all that sort of thing, and the afternoon and evening proceeded much apace. The ZOMBIES NEED BRAINS! party was a rousing success, and are satisfied that Ted in fact exists, and on our way out for the evening we met the guy who does all the SF/F ordering for Waterstones bookstore in the UK & Ireland.
