Q -Why didn't I blog from the con? A - My brand new Sony Vaio died.
Q - Is this going to be a great recounting of what went on at Archon? A - No. Read my first line. I just got off the plane. I'm exhausted. But they say a picture is worth a thousand words...
Autographing session with Barbara Hambly. (!!!!) We had lunch Thursday and I can't wait for her Anne Steelyard series to come out. More on that later...

I also had dinner with Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah, and was on a panel with them as well. WHAT A THRILL! Briefly, Jean has a wonderful, warm smile and sparkling eyes. Jacqueline is one of the most elegant gals I've met--BUT when she smiles, she's an imp! They're both beyond brilliant them and meeting them was top notch.
Hugs all, I need a nap... ~Linnea
Oh, that Stormtrooper is such a studmuffin. I'm going to have to make a costume like that for my husband. First, I have got to finish my Klingon dress!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fabulous time. Love the pictures. The costumes remind me of all the ones I saw at DragonCon last year.
ReplyDeleteSo, dear Captain, are we going to maybe see you at the aforementioned DragonCon one day? Or perhaps WorldCon '08, in Denver?
ReplyDeleteStacey and I talked about Dragoncon and even doing Archon again. A lot depends on where I am on deadlines (this year has been perpetual and was a bad year to do cons). But yeah, we're considering it, trying to get Kat (Isabo Kelly) to go, too. ~Linnea
ReplyDeleteCool! ::great big grin::
ReplyDeleteAlso? "Eee-sa-bowww." Just had to do that. It's compulsory, you know. ;-)
