Campbell Nominees and Ben Bova in Tiaras

There is so much to write about WorldCon and I’ve spent all day so far writing emails to the crazy cool people I’ve met in the last few days and if I don’t eat lunch soon my stomach will decide to attack other vital organs.  There will be more!  But for now, here’s the pull photo of the weekend:

All the Campbell Nominees were just great, great people—it was a pleasant surprise to be sitting in the Hugo audience with Mur and Stina and Chuck, all of us up for the same award, and thinking that I’d be excited for any of us to win.  For those of you who don’t know, the Campbell Award is a plaque, and for the last several years the plaque has been accompanied by a tiara; as a show of solidarity, we all got tiaras.  And, of course, since we were on a panel with Ben Bova, creator of the Campbell Award and a man who really needs no introduction in the field—well.  Tiaras for Ben Bova too!

More later.  But that should be a good indicator of how well the weekend went.
