Have a really nice window in my room with a great view. I plan on spending a fair bit of time in that room over the next few days, working on some writing, so that will be nice.
I haven’t settled down to writing yet, though. I made a new friend, Jeremy Lassen, and he deftly guided me to a Thai restaurant where we had quite tasty food and a fair bit of conversation about the nitty-gritty aspects of the SF/F industry, along with a vibrant political debate (we’re in alignment on goals, I think, but disagree on methods….). Nice way to start out the convention.
Then I came back, took a quick shower (it is very humid here right now, and I got really sweaty walking around!), and then took my books down to the Larry Smith table in the dealer’s room, where Sally is kindly selling them for me.
