Had a great time at Rincon! I got to meet Mike Stackpole and catch up with Jeff Mariotte, whom I hadn't seen since the 2007 AZ Book Festival. Also finally got to meet Jeff's lovely other half, Maryelizabeth Hart. She and Jeff are co-owners of the wonderful Mysterious Galaxy bookstore down in San Diego -- you should definitely check it out the next time you're down that way! They are a couple of the nicest folks you will ever meet, so, really, why not buy ALL your books from them from now on, hmm?
Had dinner with my Official Cheerleader and Ego-Booster, the vivacious Gini Koch, Con Coordinator Extraordinaire, Lee Whiteside, and his other half, Nadine. Gini and I hit the Dark Ones party afterwards and dispensed writerly wisdom to all and sundry (well, okay, to one drunk kid who kept getting understandably distracted by the girl in the belly-dancing outfit, heh).
Some other fun folks at the con were Yvonne Navarro, her husband, Weston Ochse, and Sam Sykes, who, rumor has it, sprang forth, fully sarcastic, from his mother's head. And a ton of other great people, like Nicole from Team Gini (hi, Nicole!), my tour guide Matt, and a lady named Belinda who was looking for books for her 12-year-old daughter and bought one of mine for herself.
I had an absolute blast, but it went by much too quickly, so I'm planning on going to TusCon next month to meet up with everyone again. Yaay!
Everything Else
Funny how the sink was full of dishes when I left and was still full of dishes when I got back. Yes, the same dishes. Ah, well, at least the kids were fed and happy, so I shan't complain. And next time I'll just remember to do the dishes before I leave, heh.
