KeyCon 27, host of Canvention 30
Sheila and I waited to be introduced in striking company.
After the GOHs were introduced, we were given aprons and a tub of ice cream to serve. What a wonderful way to "break the ice" with con attendees! Beside me is Media GOH Andee Frizzell who, may I say, had doled out her tub of chocolate before the rest of us were halfway!
I had the privilege of interviewing my editor and publisher, Sheila Gilbert of DAW Books, for her GOH presentation. Sheila's a dear friend and I was proud to share her,
especially when it's a rare thing indeed to pry Sheila from her work.
Nalo Hopkinson - always a joy. We did quite a bit of giggling. And the dancing?
Liana K. shared the role of Masquerade Host with me. During our discussion of what to wear, I mentioned sparkly, she mentioned fuzzy, and the rest, as they say, is history. My Next Generation costume was handmade by a family member of vast talent. Yes, this marks the first time I've stood on stage in a costume. ::looks around and whispers:: Such fun!!!
The sparkling Liana K. as she is in real life. If you get a chance to hear her speak on
Safe Status online, do!
An eyeopener and important.
The lucky bidder at the KeyCon auction, soon to be a Trade Pact Enforcer!
