World Con Sunday
Sep. 3rd, 2007 08:22 amLet's see. 9/2, more or less.
Started slow. Went to the Baen Books session, saw Chris French, a lurker from the Baen Bar who shall remain nameless here (but it was good seeing you!), and Mark Van Name (author) who was running the session (that's three people - Chris is not a lurker nowadays). Also talked briefly with Tom Doherty (yeah, TOR books) who was sitting in the audience.
Interesting session. A lot of what they were doing was showing the stages from the catalog cover to the hardback to the paperback - and talking about how the artist, author, and cover designer work together to make it happen. Fun!
The afternoon was the Masquerade. I'm not going to try to put the glimpses up yet, I want to do that when I have bit more time, but it was a lot of fun, and I think successful. Ask someone who was in the audience - I was running around backstage with the judges (I ended up being judges' clerk and translator combined for the three-person, two-nation judges panel - but that's another story).
Today is the post-masquerade debrief. And then, reluctantly, put away the con badges, ribbons, and other paraphenalia (not a chance I spelled that right:-) and back to mundania. But perhaps with a dash of "what if . . ." lodged in our hearts and minds!
