WorldCon Photos

Pictures are worth a thousand words, they say, so I only got somewhere near 0.8 pictures with last night’s post.  So, here are a few more photos!

First, from the Drinks With Authors event Friday night: the premier meeting of Team Tiara!  From left, that’s me, Mur Lafferty, Chuck Wendig, and the effervescent Stina Leicht.

This is me on a panel about Chinese-language science fiction.  I appear to be quite skeptical about something Gregory Benford is saying.

You can even find spare TARDIS parts at WorldCon!

And here’s the key shot—immediately pre-Hugos awards.  All us Campbell nominees grabbed seats together for mutual support purposes.

And here’s the second row!

Smiling faces all around.  Photos rule.

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.
