rolanni | News from the Con (Reply)

First, a Public Service Announcement. So many folks at the con have asked after Mozart's health that I feel I must reassure all of his fandom. The news from the cat sitter is that he is considerably improved, his breathing is back to normal and he's no longer sneezing. This being the case, he believes that he no longer needs to take his medicine, but the cat sitter is being adamant on the point and we are thus optimistic that this episode will firmly be put behind him, and that the chance of a relapse is small. Thank you all for your good wishes and healing thoughts.

Denvention so far has been a blast. Our panels have been lively and informative for the panelists -- and I hope for the audience as well. We've caught up with a bunch of people we've missed seeing for a while, read to a gratifyingly attentive audience, and signed lots and lots of books. Suite Dieties Sarah Burt, Shawna Camara, Angie Gradillas, Elaine Fisher, Kevin Hewett, Deb Matsuura, and Mat Timmerman put together a marvelous book release party for SRM Publisher author

klingonguy and a Liaden Universe Open House complete with birthday cake for Steve.

In addition to the con, there are many Shopping Opportunities at the Sixteenth Street Mall (of which more later), and also at the convention center gift shop, where I succumbed to the desire to own my very own small Big Blue Bear.

Tomorrow, we start the proceedings early with the Friends of Liad Breeakfast!

We see in the news that Maine is under flood watch brought on by unremitting rains, to the point of roads washing away in Freeport.

Everybody, be safe, be careful, have fun! I'll check back in as time and connectivity permits.
