Got back last night from Seattle.<\/p>\n
Norwescon was a lot of fun. I got to hang with some old friends and made some new ones, and drank far too many White Russians. (The Dude abides). My hosts treated me very well. <\/p>\n
I read the new ‘Alayne’ chapter, the one I just uploaded, and got a great response. I’m very pleased that so many of you liked it. (I’ve gotten some nice emails about it too. Sorry that I cannot reply, but there are just too many).<\/p>\n
The con also featured a Burlesque show with a GAME OF THRONES theme. That was fun too. <\/p>\n
The Philip K. Dick awards were given out. I haven’t actually read any of the finalists, but a couple of the winners were present, and I was pleased to meet them. <\/p>\n
This year’s Hugo ballot was also announced, simultaneously with similar announcements at Minicon and the British Eastercon. I am going to have more to say about that soon. A lot more. But not in this post. I don’t want to spoil the mood here.<\/p>\n
Fandom Is (indeed) a Way of Life, and attending a con like Norwescon always feels like coming home.<\/p>\n
Oh, and once more, for all the Seahawks fans I met this weekend… THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE BALL TO BEAST MODE.<\/i><\/b> Worst. Call. Ever. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
