Back from World Con. Met some neat people and sold books to some of them. :-) Looking forward to working my way through the material I collected and making contact individually with the readers and writers and possible reviewers or other fellow 'pilots' I might "soul touch" in the future. Read a page a day of Denise Torgerson's book Attributes of a Goddess; hung with the Edge folks (Anita never ceases to amaze me, very proud to be one of Brian's authors and happy birthday Janice!) and with Canadian SF luminary Robert J. Sawyer who is now also publisher of his own line of books; met fellow authors Adrian Bedford and Rebecca Rowe; met the aptly named Grace from Broad Universe and some of my fellow Broad Universe authors; said "hi" to Cory Doctorow in person for the first time; discovered much and scored some good books. Took a crack at getting a signature from David Hartwell for his new non-fiction book The Space Opera Renaissance but just didn't manage to be in the right place at the right time; spent some good social time with the Neo-Opsis Magazine team of Karl and Stephanie and we all three agreed we were sorry Virginia O'Dine couldn't make it and look forward to seeing her next con. All in all, enough experiences and material to be investigating and reporting on, here, for the rest of the year as I work through it.
