Back!

I’m back from Las Vegas, the truck is unloaded (many thanks for all the help!), and as of just now I have internet connection.  I’ll be getting caught up on email as soon as possible, then working on Fourth Street programming, on which I’m horribly behind.

Thanks again to those who helped so much with the loading and unloading of the truck.

Out of Touch

Off to Las Vegas.  I’ll be packing Wednesday, loading Thursday, and leaving Friday in the unlikely even that all goes well.  I’ll be out of touch until I get back to Texas, barring the unforseen.

If anyone wants to help me load, mention it here, and Kit and Reesa will tell you how to find the house.

See you all in a week or so.

Marcon

I’m back from Marcon, and I’m not sure what to say about it.  As most of you probably know, guest of honor Robert Asprin passed away the day before the convention started.   At opening ceremonies, I said that the odd thing was, if I had spent much of opening ceremonies ribbing him, as I’d originally planned, it would have been something he’d have liked, but I just didn’t have the heart to do it.  The convention organized a wake for him with music and Tulamore Dew, and it was well done.  I knew Bob for something like 30 years; I’m sorry he’s gone.

It’s hard to talk about general convention stuff under the circumstances, but it wouldn’t be fair to the Marcon committee not to mention that they’re one of the long-standing fannish conventions where they know what they’re doing, and that they treated me very well (including all sorts of extra effort they had to go through because I somehow managed to mess up my foot the first day).

I met and re-met a lot of great people, and it was by any standards a good convention; I wish Bob could have been there.
