Coming up for air to report that I attended this year’s Worldcon, happily managed to mostly keep out of the controversies surrounding it, and had a great time hanging out with old friends and making new ones. I’m not very good at remembering to take pictures but, fortunately, I ended up in several taken by friends, enough to gather and post them here, mostly for my own records and ability to find them later.

Hanging out with Mike Resnick.

And here are a few photos I managed to take (mostly during the Hugo ceremony):
Filled auditorium, view from the second row (aka the good seats!)
Bryan Thomas Schmidt, Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.
Hugos opening bit. Tananarive Due’s fearlessly sports the redshirt Star Trek uniform.
David Gerrold and a dalek. Best line of the Hugos: “David, my eye is up here!”
